Nomura Securities maintains a 'Buy' on Google (NASDAQ: GOOG) price target raised from $750 to $800.

Analyst, Brian Nowak, said, "For Google, we are 4% ahead of the consensus non-GAAP EBIT estimate and continue to believe the Street is underestimating Google's ability to grow its most mature business and take share in emerging businesses...Search will drive 84% of GOOG’s 1Q:12 revenue, and this, plus Google’s dominant and growing share of search queries should enable it to grow its overall advertising by 24% ex FX in 1Q:12."

Nowak sees Q1 EPS of $10.39 on revs of $8.282 bln. FY12 EPS estimate lowered slightly, from $45.86 to $45.71 and FY13 from $53.91 to $53.80.
