Currency still a slight headwind for 1Q results but improving We expect FX to remain a y/y headwind for 1Q results; the Euro is down about 6% y/y but up 1% from where it was when most Large-cap internet companies reported 4Q results in late January (~$1.06). The GBP at $1.22 is down slightly (1.4%) over the same period. Our currency strategist is forecasting the Euro to end 2017 at $1.05 and the GBP to end at $1.19. FX pressure will ease after 1Q if rates hold, unless a company has high exposure to Japan. Table 5: Percent change y/y Euro GBP.
