5 companies that Google should eye after buying Fitbit, according to jeffreevesip
After its recent deal for Fitbit, the $16 billion question many investors are asking is: What will Google buy next?
Health: Teladoc There are plenty of potential reasons why Google bought Fitbit, but bolstering its nascent health and wellness capabilities are at the top of the list. After all, Google has proven it’s not overager to compete with powerhouse Apple AAPL, -0.14% on consumer hardware, so looking at the Fitbit deal simply as another foray into wearables is missing the full picture.
Fintech: Square Another logical play for Google would be to push ambitiously into digital payments and banking via Square SQ, -2.12%. Square started with a focus on credit and debit card acceptance gadgets for smartphones, but has since branched out into payment processing via point-of-sale hardware that mimics cash registers as well as inventory management systems and even a capital and financing arm to offer clients small business loans.
Streaming: Lions Gate With competitor Amazon.com AMZN, -0.16% becoming an established content provider — 47 Emmy nominations so far — and with Apple TV offering an ambitious programming lineup that includes the star-studded astronaut biopic “For All Mankind,” the pressure is on for Google.
Cloud computing: Teradata Though it would offer less fireworks than the three ideas above, Teradata TDC, -0.85% would be in many ways a much more realistic — and instantly impactful — deal.

Google Launches ‘The Google’ For Older AdultsMOUNTAIN VIEW, CA—The popular search engine Google announced plans Friday to launch a new site, TheGoogle.com, to appeal to older adults not able to navigate the original website’s single text field and two clearly marked buttons. “The Google will have all the same information currently found on regular Google, but with the added features of not stealing your credit-card numbers or giving your computer all kinds of viruses,” said Rick Tillich, The Google project director. “All you have to do to turn the website on is put the little blinking line thing in the cyberspace window at the top of the screen, type ‘thegoogle.com,’ and press ‘return’—although it will also recognize http.wwwthegoogle.com, google.aol, and ‘THEGOOGLE’ typed into a Word document.” Tillich added that he hopes the site will soon replace Yahoo Internet Website.com as the most popular search engine for users over 55.
