Yahoo Inc. (YHOO) 2Q Profit Drops
Yahoo Inc.'s financial malaise dragged on during the second quarter as the Internet icon's profit slipped slightly and revenue growth lagged behind the pace of the online advertising market that it once led.
The results and a dimmer outlook released Tuesday left little doubt why Yahoo decided to replace Chairman Terry Semel as chief executive toward the end of the second quarter.
Yahoo's new CEO, co-founder Jerry Yang, tried to assure analysts in a conference call that he realized the Sunnyvale-based company needs to make dramatic changes. He promised there would be "no sacred cows" as he analyzes which parts of the business should be jettisoned so the company can focus its resources on developing technology that will revive earnings growth.
