You know, I'm a bit surprised that none of the shorts out there (or longs for that matter) have realized that the 10 cent loss is actually a 20 cent loss. The 10 cent loss reflects the stock split, whereas the estimates did not. So really, they only beat the expectations by 16 to 19 cents

Since Excite is down 1 5/8 after hours to 90, it seems like some people are catching on. I look at it as they only beat expectations by .08/share since analysts expectations where -.36 pre/split or -.18 post split. (.18 - .10 = .08). Percentage wise it is the same however.

Excess of 75 million(2 1/2 times total quarterly revenues!) in so-called one-time charges is going to be taken negatively tomorrow I think.

Remember what happened to YHOO after their blowout earnings and 2:1 split announcement last week?
