		<description><![CDATA[Google Inc (GOOG) started the year in style, beating our earnings estimate of $8.24 by 51 cents, or 6.2%. Revenue was more or less in line with consensus estimates of $8.1 billion. Historically, Google has done much better than Yahoo Inc (YHOO), which has been struggling to hold its own, and Microsoft Corp (MSFT), which is yet to gain critical mass. Google’s superior algorithms have consistently attracted more users and generated better conversions. Revenue Google’s gross revenue touched a record $10.65 billion, representing sequential and year-over-year increases of 0.6% and 24.1%, respectively. Considering Google’s hedging program, the impact of currency was minimal on both sequential and year-over-year bases. Google is very strongly positioned in the mobile platform, where both smartphones and tablets have been making strong headway. The dominant position ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Web pioneer Yahoo Inc. (YHOO) plans to eliminate 14% of its workforce or about 2,000 jobs in order to reduce operational costs. This layoff is an attempt to optimize the cost structure, concentrate on the core businesses, and thereby improve the company’s competitiveness. The workforce reduction will be conducted across all the divisions at Yahoo but the product division is expected to be hit the hardest. Along with other unspecified operational changes, the layoffs are expected to save $375 million upon completion of all employee transitions. Currently, the company expects $125 million to $145 million in a pre-tax cash charge relating to employee severance packages. Management is looking to restructure its businesses by focusing on its online content properties and media business, which drive most of its revenue. In the ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Given the growing market for Google’s (GOOG) Android-based smartphones, Sprint Nextel Corporation (S) is adding another such device to its existing line of Android smartphones. The company launched ZTE Fury, an Android 2.3 Gingerbread smartphone at $19.99 after a rebate of $50.00. The USP of the phone not only lies in having an Android operating system but also in its pricing which remains pocket friendly. All this while, Sprint primarily focused on introducing top-end devices, like including Apple’s (AAPL) iPhone 4 and 4S in October last year. These devices have remained accretive for the carrier, generating solid margin gains. But their high subsidies, representing nearly 40% of the device’s cost continues to be a significant headwind going forward. As a result, we believe that company’s interest in marketing handsets like ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Despite solid revenue growth, Priceline.com Inc (PCLN) missed the Zacks Consensus by 20 cents, as higher stock based compensation and a higher tax rate impacted results. However, the solid guidance drove share prices up 6.57% in after-hours trading. Revenue Priceline reported revenue of $990.7 million in the quarter, representing a sequential decline of 31.8% and a year-over-year increase of 35.5%. This was better than management’s guidance of $947 million (at the mid-point) and consensus expectations of $967.9 million. Volumes were impacted across the business, with hotel room nights, rental car days and airline tickets all declining double-digits on a sequential basis, although they were up from last year. Ticket volumes were again softer than the other two, similar to Expedia Inc (EXPE), which also saw softness in the area. Specifically, ]]></description>

Company Description Bankrate, Inc., together with its subsidiaries, owns and operates an Internet-based consumer banking and personal finance network. The company&#8217;s flagship Website, Bankrate.com provides information on financial products and fees, including mortgages, deposits, insurance, credit cards, and other personal finance categories.

The company was previously publicly owned but then was taken private, only to be spun out again to public investors. The story for the company remains mostly the same, as the need for interest rate information and products continues to resonate with consumers. The first three earnings reports have seen mostly positive news ]]></description>

However, following the earnings release, stock price of Motorola Mobility increased by 7 cents (0.18%) to $38.67. Quarterly GAAP net loss was $80 million or 27 cents per share compared with a net profit of $80 million or 27 cents per share in the prior-year quarter. Adjusted (excluding special items) EPS in the reported quarter was 8 cents, which was just a penny short of the Zacks Consensus Estimate. Total revenue in the quarter was $3,436 million, up 0.3% year over year but below the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $3,822 million. Gross margin in the reported quarter was 24.9% compared with 26.7% ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Google Inc. (GOOG) reports earnings after the close on Thursday with consensus EPS expectations for the fourth quarter inching up to $10.50 this week. The Zacks consensus estimate, which accounts for Employee Stock Option expense, is $9.06. Since the company doesn&#8217;t give guidance, the high/low of the estimates is nearly $2. In other words, GOOG earnings are always a fireworks event. When I covered the October Q3 report two days beforehand, I highlighted that the stock was poised for a big move because the stock was undervalued at $550 and options volatility was high (indicating high risk). I thought the odds were better than not that GOOG would surprise with an earnings beat and I was right as their strong results drove the stock up to $600. Today, I am ]]></description>

(YHOO) is revisiting a proposed deal to reduce its 40% stake in Chinese e-commerce company Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. and sell its 35% ownership position in Yahoo Japan. The proposal values Yahoo’s 40% stake in Alibaba at about $12 billion and its 35% stake in Yahoo Japan at about $5 billion. Hence, the total value of the sale for the Asian assets is valued at $17 billion to $18 billion. Despite being one of the biggest brand names, Yahoo has not done very well in the last few years. Investors are also wary of the competitive pressure that Yahoo is under. The company is up against the likes of Google Inc. (GOOG), Microsoft Corp.

(ZNGA), MyYearBook, HTC, Microsoft Corp. (MSFT) and Google Inc. (GOOG).

		<description><![CDATA[While the number of legal proceedings against online travel companies/agents (OTCs/OTAs) continues to increase, there are some positive trends in recent rulings. The wins in Texas and California courts are big positives for OTAs, such as Expedia (EXPE), Priceline.com (PCLN), Orbitz Worldwide (OWW) and Travelocity. Particularly Expedia, since the company is being held liable for the bulk of the back taxes. The OTA mouthpiece Interactive Travel Services Association (ITSA) has been talking about “the correct interpretation of law” by the courts in the above-mentioned states, trying to arouse sentiments by playing the “unproductive litigation” card that was “wasting taxpayer resources.” This rhetoric aside, it appears reasonable that the OTAs should receive compensation for the information and services they provide and on which they pay taxes. The fact that they neither ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[by Jeannette Di Louie, Investment U Research Monday, December 5, 2011 I’ve said for a while now that Google (Nasdaq: GOOG) wants to take over the world. First, it debuted the search engine, which changed how we use the internet so significantly that English dictionaries everywhere now include “Google” [goo-guh'l] as an official entry (incidentally both as a noun and a verb). But the company didn’t stop there, adding Google News in 2002, Google Maps in 2004, Google Finance in 2006, Gmail in 2007, and its web browser, Google Chrome, in 2009. These days, it also offers music, video, image and finance services, not to mention Blogger, a popular site where users can create their own blogs for little or nothing, and Google Docs, which serves as a free, online ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Akamai Technologies, Inc. (AKAM) reported earnings of 25 cents per share in the third quarter of 2011, which missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate by a penny. However, earnings per share (EPS) increased 8.7% from the 23 cents per share reported in the year-ago quarter. Reported EPS includes stock-based compensation expense and amortization of capitalized stock-based compensation but excludes amortization of other intangible charges and restructuring charges. The year-over-year growth was primarily driven by strong revenues; partially offset by higher expenses, which dragged margins in the reported quarter. Operating Performance Gross profit (including stock-based compensation) increased 7.3% year over year to $188.6 million in the reported quarter. However, gross margin contracted 230 basis points (bps) year over year to 67.0% in the same period. Adjusted EBITDA (including stock-based compensation) increased 7.3% ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[by Justin Dove, Investment U Research Monday, October 24, 2011 Yahoo! (Nasdaq: YHOO) is a hot rumor in mergers and acquisition activity lately. First, there was news that the Chinese e-commerce company Alibaba (OTC: ALBIY.PK) was interested in a takeover. Then Microsoft (Nasdaq: MSFT) was announced as a potential suitor three years after an unsuccessful attempt to take over the company. Now the latest rumors tab search-engine giant Google (Nasdaq: GOOG) as a potential buyer. According to the reports, Google has talked to at least two private equity firms about potentially financing a deal. While there are certainly some valuable parts of Yahoo!’s franchise that may interest Google, it doesn’t seem probable that the interest is genuine. It sounds like Google is posing as a potential buyer in the hope ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In typical style, Google Inc’s (GOOG) third-quarter earnings of $8.33 breezed past the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $7.59. Solid revenue growth across most geographies (other than Western Europe) and impressive growth in mobile drove results in the last quarter. Shares were up 6.37% in after-hours trading. Historically, Google has done very much better than Yahoo Inc. (YHOO), which could be up for sale and Microsoft Corp. (MSFT), which has yet to gain critical mass. Google’s superior algorithms have consistently attracted more users and generated better conversions. Revenue Google’s gross revenue touched a record $9.72 billion, representing sequential and year-over-year increases of 7.7% and 33.4%, respectively. Currency impact was again positive across the world, after taking into account the benefits of Google’s hedging program. Google is very strongly positioned in the ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Even though analysts seemed a tad wary of Google Inc. (GOOG) 3rd quarter 2011 earnings numbers after the closing bell today, the search engine king stepped up to the plate and took one long. Revenues of $9.72 billion were up 33% year over year and 8% sequentially. Diluted EPS (how Zacks reports Google&#8217;s earnings) reached $8.33, easily topping the $7.59 Zacks Consensus Estimate. The 10% positive earnings surprise bested the average positive surprise over the last 4 quarters of 8.5%, and after-market traders duly took notice. Up 1.91% in regular Thursday trading, GOOG shares have shot up 5.2% in the after-market, which is tempered a bit from the initial reaction to the earnings report. Kicking off Google&#8217;s press release this afternoon was a proud notice that Google+, GOOG&#8217;s new social ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[by Justin Dove, Investment U Research Friday, September 30, 2011 Two recent events have likely ushered the dawn of NFC smartphone technology in the mainstream marketplace. Google (Nasdaq: GOOG) finally released Google Wallet on September 19, Isis announced this week that a handful of major handset manufacturers are already showing support for its NFC platform. (Isis is a joint mobile payment venture between AT&#38;T (NYSE: T), Verizon (NYSE: VZ) and T-Mobile.) While Isis most likely won’t come online until 2012, it should offer some competition to Google, which is likely to use its recent acquisition of Motorola Mobility to help further push its NFC agenda. While these companies duke it out over who controls the NFC payment market, the semiconductor companies producing the chips used in the devices will most ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Expedia, Inc. (EXPE), one of the leading online travel companies in the world, solidly beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate in the second quarter, despite higher expenses. A stronger economy, increased travel spending by both individuals and corporations and international expansion are driving results. Additionally, Egencia is turning around, posting strong results in the last quarter. The solid growth strategy across markets and stronger business fundamentals overall are the reasons for our Outperform recommendation. The shares also appear cheap since they are trading at a forward P/E of 16.5X compared to a 52.2X multiple for the peer group. Our $36.00 target price, 20.0X 2011 EPS, reflects our favorable view.

		<description><![CDATA[We reaffirm our long-term Neutral recommendation on Motorola Mobility Holdings Inc. (MMI) following its recent agreement with Google Inc. (GOOG), which will enable the later to acquire 100% of the company. Motorola Mobility reported mixed financial results for the second quarter of 2011. While revenue beats the Zacks Consensus Estimates EPS fell below it. We believe the company is yet to turnaround since it forecasted a disappointing third-quarter 2011 financial outlook mainly due to the delay of high-end product launch. On August 15, 2011, Google and Motorola Mobility jointly announced that the two companies have entered into a definitive agreement through which Google will acquire 100% stake of Motorola Mobility for a total consideration of $12.5 billion. Motorola Mobility used Google developed Android operating system for all its smartphones. Motorola ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Google Inc’s (GOOG) revamped air ticket portal launched without much fanfare on Tuesday. Without a doubt, the search giant is entering the travel market, something made easy with its acquisition of ITA Software, which was recently cleared by the Justice Department. As may be expected with any strategic acquisition, there was a significant amount of controversy and opposition from other companies offering travel services or dependent on ITA technology, such as Microsoft Corp (MSFT), Kayak and Expedia Inc (EXPE). Priceline.com (PCLN) was less affected, although its CEO Jeffrey Boyd mentioned that Google was stepping on its toes with its new Hotel Finder site and the ITA acquisition. Kayak stated that its technology was superior and that it was ready to take on the competition from Google. Some bravado, considering the ]]></description>

Some of the pharmacies were selling counterfeit drugs from outside North America. Others were fake entities set up by the government to find cracks in Google’s ad systems. And cracks, they found… Still, what’s a $500 million fine when your market cap sits north of $167 billion? That’s what Google executives might think when they cut a check to the government this week. And it won’t be the first time they’ve forked big money over to regulators, either. The ad giant has paid millions to U.S. and European regulators over the past decade for a variety ]]></description>

However, EPS fell short of the company’s guided range of $1.13 to $1.18. Second quarter earnings exclude Sohu’s non-controlling interest in the online gaming company Changyou.com Ltd. (CYOU).

The new Motorola XT316 possesses a color display, QWERTY keypad as well as touch screen option, which will largely attract young consumers. The new Motorola device has been launched in China and by mid July will be available in other emerging markets such as Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Latin America where the company is looking to gain traction. It is also believed that by the end of this summer, the low-budget Motorola handset will be launched in the rest of the Asian and European markets. Another reason for launching such low-priced android handsets is to target the price sensitive customers across China and India. The company intends ]]></description>

(YHOO), Chinese e-commerce firm Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. and Japanese Internet company Softbank Corp. are on track to reach a settlement regarding the ownership of online-payments business Alipay. The trio seems pleased with the progress on the transfer of Alipay, although negotiations continue. Last year, Alibaba had transferred ownership of Alipay to a company controlled by its CEO Jack Ma. This became the subject of dispute between the three parties. In its defense, Alibaba said the transfer of Alipay was necessary to comply with new Chinese regulations that restricted foreign ownership in e-payment companies. Alipay and Taobao, Alibaba Group&#8217;s online auction and shopping sites, have been valued at up to $40 billion in China&#8217;s fast-growing Internet market. Yahoo&#8217;s 40% stake in Alibaba, which controls several e-commerce sites, is ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[by Justin Dove, Investment U Research Friday, June 17, 2011 It’s no secret that Facebook is the most anticipated IPO since Google (NYSE: GOOG) went public in 2004. CNBC’s Kate Kelly heightened that anticipation with her article on Monday. Kelly claimed that Facebook was likely to go public in the first quarter of 2012 and that the valuation could top $100 billion, no typo. Part of her reasoning for early 2012 was the “500 rule.” It’s a rule that is a part of the 1934 Securities Exchange Act. It basically mandates that if any company reaches 500 private shareholders, the company must publicize the financial records. Most companies that reach this point just go public because they are releasing financials to the public anyway. While there is talk of the ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[IDC reported last month that in the first quarter of 2011, Google Inc’s (GOOG) display market share had grown into the largest. Google has been gradually narrowing the gap between itself and the now second-largest player, Yahoo! Inc. (YHOO). While the market shares of Google and Yahoo were 13.3% and 13.6%, respectively in the quarter ended December 2010, in the first quarter of 2011, they moved to 14.7% and 12.3%, respectively, according to IDC. However, the display business of the two companies tends to differ, with Yahoo remaining strong in the big-ticket area and Google gaining mostly from its push into the small and medium business (“SMB”) segment. Google’s focus on the SMB segment over the past year or so has served to expand the market, as many smaller players ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Google Inc (GOOG) announced its digital wallet payment system amongst much controversy. Very soon after the company announced the new payment system at its New York offices along with partners Citibank, a subsidiary of Citigroup (C) and Mastercard Inc. (MA), eBay Inc (EBAY) and its payment unit Paypal slapped a suit on Google, as well as a number of key Google personnel. The digital wallet is a point-of-sale (“POS”) solution that would enable an Android phone user to wave the phone near a POS terminal to make a purchase. The technology that makes this possible is called Near Field Communication (“NFC”) and is already available in parts of Europe. For example, in the U.K., Orange has made this kind of payment possible with a preloaded Barclaycard on a specific Samsung ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Income-oriented investors have yet another reason to be upset with the bond markets. Junk bond yields fell to a record low a few days ago and are staying near those levels. As of Wednesday evening, the Barclays U.S. Corporate High Yield index yielded a mere 6.68%, which isn&#8217;t much when you consider the risk of default. These low yields are just one sign of the bond market&#8217;s cheery mood. Corporations are finding plenty of buyers for their debt, and many offerings have been completed this week. Among the investment-grade companies selling bonds are Google (GOOG), Norfolk Southern (NSC) and Walt Disney (DIS). Included in this week&#8217;s near-record level of junk bond offerings is beleaguered Chrysler, which is refinancing its loan package. Taking advantage of the low interest rates is good ]]></description>

We got an impressive jobs report this morning, with the private sector coming up with one of its best showings in a long time. The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported the creation of 244,000 jobs in April, handily coming ahead of expectations. This is one of the best jobs report in a very long time. Importantly, the private sector added 268,000 jobs in April, up from the March tally of 231,000, with broad-based gains across all sectors. On the negative side, the unemployment rate jumped to 9% in April from 8.8% in March, reversing the rapid decline of the preceding months. Today&#8217;s report is the first positive indicator following a ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[by Alexander Moschina, Investment U Research Tuesday, May 3, 2011 The Chinese Internet Stocks Index may have flat-lined as of late, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t some star performers. One company in particular – Google‘s (Nasdaq: GOOG) greatest rival overseas – recently leapt 3.25 percent after surprising everyone with its first-quarter earnings. But that’s just the start… Google Says “No” to China, Baidu Steps in and Collects Millions On April 27, Baidu, Inc. (Nasdaq: BIDU) reported that net profit for the first quarter had more than doubled to $163.5 million. Total revenue shot up 88 percent to $372 million. And it’s all thanks to the company’s continued dominance of China’s internet search traffic. According to research firm Analysys International, Baidu.com now owns over 75 percent of China’s search market. ]]></description>

Competition is high in this sector and Yahoo has to go up against Google, AOL and MSN.  Hopefully there is enough of the pie to go around. Yahoo! Inc.

As one of the first online navigational guides to the World Wide Web, Yahoo! is one of the leading guides in terms of traffic, advertising, and household and business user reach.

		<description><![CDATA[A leading online brand and Internet portal in China, Sohu.com Inc. (SOHU) reported strong first quarter 2011 results, driven by solid revenue growth, partially offset by higher expenses. Earnings per share (EPS) of $1.01 (including stock-based compensation) increased 38.4% from 73 cents in the year-ago quarter. Quarterly EPS also beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 97 cents. However, EPS missed the company’s guided range of $1.03 to $1.08. First quarter earnings exclude Sohu’s non-controlling interest in the online gaming company Changyou.com Ltd. (CYOU). Operating Performance Gross margin on a non-GAAP basis was 74.0%, down 100 basis points (bps) from the year-ago quarter. The company’s margins were affected by the year-over-year decline in online games gross margin, which was 91% versus 93.0% in the year-ago quarter.

		<description><![CDATA[Yahoo! (YHOO) reported first quarter EPS of 17 cents, a penny ahead of the Zacks Consensus Estimate. This marks the company&#8217;s fifth consecutive positive earnings surprise. It was a 23% decrease from the same quarter in 2010, however. Revenue Beats Revenue excluding traffic acquisition costs (revenue ex-TAC) came in at $1.064 billion, a 9% decline from the same quarter in 2010, but ahead of the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.054 billion. The decline was due in large part to the revenue share related to the search agreement with Microsoft (MSFT). Under the terms of the deal, Microsoft receives $12 of every $100 in ad revenue generated from clicks alongside ads next to search results. Excluding this item and other special items, revenue ex-TAC for the first quarter of 2011 was ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Contrary to our expectations, Google Inc’s (GOOG) first-quarter earnings missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate, as its revenue increase was not enough to offset the increase in operating expenses. We estimated lower opex, not anticipating the significant headcount increase during the quarter. Google’s earnings came in at $7.04 a share, well below the $7.14 Zacks Consensus Estimate. Shares traded up slightly during the day, but plunged in after-hours trading. Revenue Google reported gross revenue of $8.58 billion that was up 1.6% sequentially and 26.6% year over year, regardless of the fact that the fourth quarter was extremely strong and the first quarter of last year included Nexus One, making for slightly tougher comps on both counts. Currency was neutral in both the sequential and year-over-year comparisons, after taking into account the ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Search engine giant Google, Inc. (GOOG) reported first quarter 2011 earnings after the closing bell today. Google&#8217;s earnings of $7.04 per share missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate by a dime, but revenues for the quarter came in at a healthy $6.54 billion &#8212; higher than the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $6.29 billion and even the most recent estimate of $6.38 billion. Google shares had been up slightly in regular-day trading on Thursday ($2.23 per share, or 0.39%), but in the after-market have slid badly, over 5% and more than $29 per share. Even with net revenue gains of 29% year over year, the miss on the bottom line must be raising red flags to traders. Over the past month, there has been downward pressure on Google shares, with 5 analysts ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Priceline.com (PCLN) is one of the leading online travel companies in the world. Priceline&#8217;s fourth quarter earnings beat the Zacks Consensus and management expects strong double-digit bookings growth in the next quarter, with international growing much faster than domestic. The secular growth trend in the online travel space, Priceline&#8217;s own business momentum, international growth opportunities, good execution, prudent marketing strategy and strong financial position are likely to drive upside to the shares. While occupancy tax-related litigation remains an overhang, it is likely to have the same impact on all peer companies. With demand strengthening considerably following the recession, we remain optimistic. We therefore have an Outperform rating on PCLN shares.

		<description><![CDATA[Google Inc. (GOOG) is expected to announce first quarter results after the bell tomorrow and estimates appear to be trending down right now. We continue to expect a moderate beat based on the positives outlined below. Google’s market share appears stable and February numbers released by ComScore indicate that both query volumes and bid rates are on the rise. While Microsoft Corp’s (MSFT) Bing is the only search engine to have grown stronger than Google, Microsoft’s gains reflect the decline at Yahoo Inc (YHOO), indicating that it is probably picking up share from Yahoo. On the other hand, Google continues to see relatively steady growth in paid clicks, which is what counts. The company’s instant search feature appears to be contributing to this growth, since instant allows the search engine ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[by Alexander Moschina, Investment U Research Tuesday, April 12, 2011 For seven years now, Google (Nasdaq: GOOG) has been scanning every book it can get its hands on. Its goal? To take out-of-print, public-domain titles and make them available on the web – for free. The internet giant has even partnered with some of the largest libraries in the world to include their rarest collections in its universal library. And for more modern in-copyright titles, the internet giant would create listings that include ISBN numbers, sample pages and other relevant information. The idea is that this would make it easier for users to track down physical copies. Everybody wins, right? Think again… Publishers/Rivals Don’t Want Google Profiting from Someone Else’s Work Publishers feel that if Google posts their titles on ]]></description>
