Google (GOOG) is set to report quarterly results after Thursday's closing bell and tech analysts will be looking to see if the tech giant is able to maintain double digit growth rates. BGC Financial's Director of Research Colin Gillis says, 'this is a company that has tremendous forward runway. It has a best-in-class performance advertising business, and that’s a business that’s going to continue to grow north of 20%.' Gillis says he'll also be focused on the growth of Google Play. Play has already seen revenue grow 50% in the past two quarters. Gillis says Google has gone from being just a search engine to a company that touches people's lives in many different ways, from Google Maps to self-driving cars. Gillis says it's 'relatively easy to see that growing revenue 20% a year, over the next five years and having $200 billion in revenues' could easily give the company a one trillion dollar market capitalization.
