Did Google CEO Larry Page Just Handle His Last Wall Street Call?

No longer wants to talk every earnings period

Google CEO Larry Page signaled to Wall Street today that he no longer wants to handle routine quarterly calls. During today’s conference call with analysts announcing third quarter results, Page said he might skip them in the future, retreating into the background when it’s time to report financial performance. 

The CEO chose a high note on which to take a bow, as Google’s stock jumped more than 70 points after results came out, wowing investors.

Page, who has a chronic throat and voice ailment, is a man of few words and has previously refrained from public speaking because of his condition.
