Growth rate for 4Q was ok...but 2001 looks anemic: excluding investments, acquisition-related charges and other items, Yahoo earned $80.2 million, or 13 cents per share, in the fourth quarter. That was up from comparable results of $55.7 million, or 9 cents per share, in the same period of 1999. The results matched expectations of analysts surveyed by First Call/Thomson Financial and gave Yahoo reason to boast that its brand was actually strengthened while other Internet companies suffered in 2000. "By almost any measure Yahoo continued to outperform the industry, and took market share despite a challenging environment," Koogle said. But in this quarter, Yahoo expects earnings of 4 cents to 7 cents per share, well below analysts' expectations of 13 cents per share. For all of 2001, Yahoo forecasts earnings between 33 and 43 cents per share, far below current predictions of 57 cents and this year's figure of 48 cents.
