- adventured 11y agoA lot less than Facebook at this point. There's no longer a good comparison to be made there, as Facebook's business is five times larger. Their Q315 was just about larger than all of Yahoo, and Facebook's sales are growing at 50%. Facebook earned $1.56 billion in net income last quarter (and they'll do $5+ billion annually going forward). Yahoo is struggling to stay near $50-$100 million per quarter. And that's net income, skewed by various b.s., Yahoo is producing lots of red ink on operating income (FB has ~30% operating income margins). Facebook is going to hit near $22-$24+ billion in sales over the coming four quarters. Yahoo is stuck around $4.6 billion. Facebook is a cash generating machine, while Yahoo is becoming AOL: trying to extract dwindling amounts of cash from legacy businesses. It's a really bad contrast these days.
