Yahoo Earnings Watch

By Paul Kedrosky · Tuesday, January 23, 2007 ·
Lots of conflicting forces pushing Yahoo around today, with earnings set for release after the close.
While the WSJ story today was market-moving, I think it was overdone and more than a little misleading. Small advertisers are a) always going to complain, and b) much less important to the overall CPC story than they were 4-5 years ago.

[Update] Yahoo's results are now out, with $1.23-billion in net revenues and $0.19 in earnings, both ahead of the consensus numbers above. Lots of nattering about option expenses, but the numbers are still ahead, even with stock compensation costs included.
