You just misplaced a 'm' with a 'b'.

Although US market is in great trouble, Google has a surprise profit in their revenue.

Amazing ... as a result Google's share took a sharp increase 430+ to 530+ per share!

Google makes a lot of money from the acquired companies and will make money without a doubt in the future too. Though the increase it's very big, quite surprising...
