Google is well diversified in its business endeavors but hasn't been capitalize on that for a better diversified revenue stream.

How else do you measure whether it is successfully diversifying if not by revenue or more importantly profitability?

Contrast Google with Apple. Even though the iPhone is 60% of Apple’s business, last time I checked, the Mac business alone would put its revenue well within the top 100 companies.

That was my point - that Google isn’t ACTUALLY well diversified compared to its contemporaries.
