Google executives argued that they were more protected than rivals against choppy economic waters.

I.B.M. is clearly benefiting from its global advance; it beat Wall Street’s estimates soundly on Thursday. The company said that its net income rose 22 percent in the second quarter compared with a year ago, to $2.77 billion, or $1.98 a share.
Analysts had expected $1.82 a share, according to a survey by Thomson Financial.
