Yahoo profit jumps by 36 percent amid a decline in revenue

Leave a comment

Yahoo’s profits rose more than 30 percent in the first quarter, due to a variety of factors including lowered operating costs, though sales at the company declined.

Net earnings for the quarter ended March 31 were US$390 million, a 36 percent increase from the same quarter last year, Yahoo reported Tuesday.

However, revenue fell by seven percent during the quarter to $1.14 billion. Subtracting commissions and fees paid to advertising partners, the company’s first-quarter sales were $1.07 billion, roughly flat compared to last year.

The company’s net earnings per share of $0.35 were significantly higher than the consensus expectations of $0.24 from analysts polled by Thomson Financial.

Intel sales, profits slide for 2012, but data center business growing

Leave a comment

Intel saw sales and profits drop in 2012, as the company was hit by a slide in demand for personal computers and its continued inability to make it big in the smartphone and tablet markets, but its data center business continued to grow.

The world’s biggest chip maker reported revenue of $53.3 billion for the year, down 1.2 percent compared with 2011, and posted net income of $11 billion, down 15 percent.

At the same time, Intel reported fourth quarter results. Revenue slipped 3 percent and net income was down 26 percent from the final quarter of 2011, and while earnings per share slipped from 64 cents to 48 cents, they were 3 cents above a consensus estimate from analysts polled by Thomson Financial.

Full-year revenue from its PC client division, which accounts for more than half of all revenue, fell 3 percent year-on-year.
