 Yahoo In line For Q4, Scared For 09 (Like Everybody)Overall, Q4 was better than expected, but guidance is very weak. Q4 revenue in line and EPS ahead of expectations ($0.17 vs. $0.13). One potentially worrisome note: Deferred revenue dropped sharply, especially relative to last year. This suggests that bookings in the quarter were lower than revenue would suggest. This bodes poorly for future revenue. (It also hit cash flow). Guidance calls for a drop of 10% of revenue year over year in Q1, which, as expected, is lousy. Worse for Yahoo employees: margin guidance is horrible. This makes it more likely that we'll get another round of layoffs. Read > Carol: "Did I Come To Yahoo To Sell The Company? The Answer's No" | |
