Yahoo was again in the news Tuesday when it reported 3rd quarter sales that were slightly lower than expected. Although the company delivered earnings that matched most analysts' expectations, Yahoo did forecast a current quarter outlook that will be weaker than initially predicted. Yahoo's stock hovered in after-hours trading Tuesday. Its shares fell slightly in regular trading on Nasdaq, after Yahoo was initially downgraded to a "neutral" by Cowen and Company. After its so-called Traffic Acquisition Costs (TAC), the Sunnyvale, CA.-based media company reported revenue of $1.12 billion, up 20 percent from a year ago, but still lower than Wall Street's consensus estimates of $1.14 billion. TAC is revenue that Yahoo has to share with some of its partners.

Additionally, Yahoo said it expects sales for the fourth quarter, excluding TAC, to come in between $1.145 billion and $1.265 billion. Analysts had been expecting revenue of $1.3 billion. Overall, the company posted a net profit of $159 million, or 11 cents a share, in line with consensus estimates. Yahoo reported a profit of $254 million, or 17 cents a share for the same period in 2005.
