Top 5 Tech Stocks For 2021: Alphabet Inc.(GOOGL)

As our founders Larry and Sergey wrote in the original founders letter, "Google is not a conventional company. We do not intend to become one." As part of that, they also explained that you could expect us to make "smaller bets in areas that might seem very speculative or even strange when compared to our current businesses." From the start, the company has always strived to do more, and to do important and meaningful things with the resources we have. To help accelerate this, we announced plans in August 2015 to create a new public holding company, called Alphabet. Alphabet is a collection of businesses -- the largest of which, of course, is Google. It also includes businesses that we combine as Other Bets and generally are pretty far afield of our main Internet products such as Verily, Calico, X, Nest, GV, Google Capital and Access/Google Fiber. Our Alphabet structure is about helping businesses within Alphabet prosper through strong leaders and independence.   Advisors' Opinion:

More specifically on the former, HubSpot's quarterly revenue increased 38% year over year to $122.6 million, and it translated to adjusted earnings of $7.4 million, or $0.18 per share, up from $0.07 per share in the same year-ago period.

HubSpot's subscription revenue climbed 38%, representing the vast majority of total sales at $116.6 million. That growth was driven primarily by a 40% increase in HubSpot's total customers, to 48,091, which more than offset a modest 2% decline in average subscription revenue per customer. Professional services and other revenue also jumped 27%, to $6 million.

Best Energy Stocks To Watch For 2021

tags:ENSV,NG,SJT,XOM,SHLX,TSO,What happened

After falling steadily for most of the week -- a fall finally broken by yesterday's $0.02 hopscotch higher -- shares of MoviePass owner Helios and Matheson Analytics (NASDAQ:HMNY) surged definitively higher on Friday, closing up 34.7% and completing a round trip back to the price it fetched precisely one week ago.

So what

Why the sudden turnaround? Short covering is certainly one possible explanation. Another is that investors are responding positively to an 8-K filing that the MoviePass owner made with the SEC this morning.

As detailed in that filing, Helios has agreed with owners of certain warrants (to buy stock) that it had previously issued to exchange those warrants for actual shares of Helios stock at a 1-to-0.85 ratio, converting 26.6 million warrants into 22.6 million shares -- and sparing Helios' other shareholders 4 million shares worth of stock dilution in the process.

As part of the agreement, the acquirers of the new shares have also agreed not to sell any of them before either July 23, 2018, or the date Helios shareholders approve a reverse stock split of their stock -- whichever date comes first.
