In news on Wednesday, Yahoo earned $160 million, or 11 cents a share for its first quarter ended March 31. That's down from the year-ago $204 million, or 14 cents a share. So-called net revenue, excluding the fees that Yahoo shares with its advertising partners, rose to $1.09 billion from $821 million a year earlier. Analysts surveyed by Thomson Financial were expecting the company to post an 11-cent-a-share profit on net revenue of $1.08 billion. Yahoo also guided to a second-quarter top line of $1.08 billion to $1.16 billion, and a full-year net revenue line of $4.6 billion to $4.85 billion.

Those figures are in line with the Thomson Financial targets. "The expectations going into the quarter weren't very high," says Martin Pyykkonen, an analyst with Hoefer & Arnett, who rates Yahoo shares strong buy with a $45 target. "Overall, it was an in-line quarter with in-line guidance." Gross revenue rose 34% from a year ago to $1.57 billion, with marketing services revenue rising 35% to $1.38 billion and fees revenue adding 25% to $186 million. Operating income dropped 19% from a year ago to $201 million, as stock compensation expense surged to $109 million from $9 million a year earlier. Operating income before depreciation and amortization rose 26% from a year ago to $435 million, while free cash flow rose 8% from a year ago to $343 million.
