Yahoo Struggles Continue

Yahoo Inc. has shuffled chief executives, upgraded its online advertising platform and forged several promising partnerships during the past year, yet the Internet icon still doesn't seem close to pulling out of a slump that has battered its stock.

Even Yahoo's new CEO, co-founder Jerry Yang, acknowledged Tuesday there is still plenty of hard work to be done.

'I am very aware of the challenges we face,' Yang said in a conference call with analysts after the Sunnyvale-based company said second-quarter earnings slipped 2 percent. 'There is a significant gap where we are today and where we need to be.'


Maybe they should get into RFI Shielding, or something. Well..not really, but they really need their Google Adsense competitor to pan out. I have tried to get into Yahoo's publisher program, but it seems like it is just taking way too long to iron out the kinks. That program alone would inject some serious fuel into their bottom line if successful.

Google is human, earnings miss

Well, well, well. The mighty Google finally missed an earnings projection. Better look into that school loan consolidation now if you were planning on paying that bad boy off after the earnings announcement.

Google (Charts, Fortune 500), based in Mountain View, Calif., posted sales of $3.87 billion, up 58 percent from a year ago. Excluding advertising revenue shared with partners, a figure known as traffic acquisition costs or TAC, sales came in at $2.72 billion, ahead of the $2.68 billion in sales analysts were expecting on this basis.

The company reported a net profit of $925 million, or $2.93 per share, an increase of 28 percent from last year. So-called pro forma earnings, which don't include stock-based compensation, tax benefits and other items, were $3.56 per share, missing analysts' forecasts of $3.59 per share.

Shares of Google have surged nearly 20 percent so far this year and are currently less than 2 percent below their all-time high. read more...
