Earnings are out! We're looking it over now ...

EPS came in ahead of expectations, along with revenue.

The stock popped 5% in after-hours trading.

The search ad business ex-TAC was clobbered though, falling 19% year over year to $357 million.

Here are the key numbers reported versus expectations:

  • EPS: $0.17 reported versus $0.16 expected
  • Net revenue: $1.21 billion reported versus $1.06 billion expected
  • Operating income: $147 million expected
  • Revenue guidance: $1.1 billion expected
  • Operating income guidance: $172 million expected

PREVIEW

Mark Mahaney at Citi says he thinks the street's expectations are reasonable, and Yahoo might even surprise people based on its cost cutting. Looking at Google's solid quarter, there's reason to believe Yahoo can also deliver a solid quarter.

Things to watch for:

  • What is the plan for this company? More media and video investment? We've heard the plan in the past, but we're still hard pressed to remember off the top of our heads what Yahoo's big exciting products are.
  • Carol Bartz's performance. She hasn't done much with Yahoo since taking over. The company has essentially lost two years while all of its competitors, especially Google and Facebook, are racing ahead at light speed.
