- Monday, October 22, 2012, 6:02 PM Half of Yahoo's (YHOO) workforce should be focused on mobile (a current weak spot), says Marissa Mayer during her first call as CEO. Improving ad targeting and site integration are also named priorities. Mayer claims most of Yahoo's acquisitions will be in the sub-$100M range (MM and OPEN, reportedly drawing Yahoo's interest, are much bigger), and that Yahoo plans to continue working with Microsoft (MSFT) in spite of "disappointment" with the search partnership. Shares +4.1% AH. (live blogs: I, II) (Q3 results: I, II) 1 Comment [Tech, Earnings]

Windows division sales fell a stunning 33% Y/Y on GAAP basis (-9% non-GAAP), was -13% in FQ4. Office division -2% (+7% in FQ4), Server & Tools +8% (+13% in FQ4). Entertainment & Devices -1%, reversal from FQ4's +20%. Online Services +9% with $364M operating loss ($472M in FQ4). CC at 5:30PM ET (webcast). MSFT -2.6% AH. (PR) 3 Comments [Tech, Earnings]
- Thursday, October 18, 2012, 4:12 PM Microsoft (MSFT): FQ1 EPS of $0.53 misses by $0.03. Revenue of $16.01B (-8% Y/Y) misses by $410M. FY13 operating expense guidance of $30.3B-$30.9B re-affirmed. Shares -1% AH. (PR) 20 Comments [Tech, Earnings]

- Tuesday, October 16, 2012, 5:31 PM Mentioned during Intel's Q3 earnings call (webcast): Q4 gross margin weakness has much to do with capacity adjustments rather than price cuts or mix shifts. But the company is taking "aggressive tactical actions" to lower inventory, as PC demand stays soft and OEMs prove cautious about placing orders. Also, enterprise server demand has softened, though cloud sales are strong. Intel's inventory and capex guidance suggest it isn't counting on PC demand rebounding strongly anytime soon. INTC -3.3% AH. 40 Comments [Tech, Earnings]
- Thursday, July 19, 2012, 6:51 PM More details about Microsoft's FQ4: Subscription revenue growth was 12% Y/Y for Office, 20%+ for Server & Tools. Dynamics CRM revenue up over 25%. FY13 Windows revenue growth expected to be in-line with PC market growth, after trailing lately due to a mix shift towards emerging markets (lower fees/higher piracy). Entertainment & Devices is losing money due to Nokia payments. FY13 capex expected to top $3B (nearly 4% of consensus revenue), as cloud investments ramp. MSFT +3.6% AH. Comment! [Tech, Earnings]
- Thursday, July 19, 2012, 4:35 PM More on Microsoft's FQ4: Enterprise strength drove the EPS beat: Office division sales +7% Y/Y and Server & Tools +13%. This offset a 1% drop in Windows sales (adjusting for Windows 8 upgrade revenue). Online Services +8% Y/Y, loss "narrows" to $472M exc. aQuantive write-down. Entertainment & Devices (Xbox, Skype, mobile) +20% Y/Y, but swings to a $263M loss. 1.1M Xboxes shipped vs. 1.7M prior. Server & Tools' $2.1B profit nearly even with Windows' $2.4B. MSFT +2.2% AH. (PR) 2 Comments [Tech, Earnings]
- Thursday, July 19, 2012, 4:11 PM Microsoft (MSFT): FQ4 EPS of $0.73 beats by $0.11. Revenue of $18.6B (+7% Y/Y) beats by $470M. FY13 operating expense guidance re-affirmed. Shares +2% AH. (PR) 5 Comments [Tech, Earnings]
- Thursday, July 19, 2012, 9:25 AM Google (GOOG) and Microsoft (MSFT) are due to report earnings after the bell that could contrast how Google is still a growth story while Microsoft appears to be treading water (until Windows 8?). Google's Q2 EPS is expected at $10.04 vs. $8.74 last year and revenue of +21.6% to $8.41B. Microsoft's FQ4 EPS is seen falling to $0.62 from $0.69 despite revenue of +4.4% to $18.13B. 2 Comments [Earnings, Tech, Consumer]

- Monday, July 9, 2012, 4:41 PM AMD -5.7% AH after warning it expects Q2 revenue to fall 11% Q/Q, well below a guidance range of +/- 3%. AMD blames weaker-than-expected distributor sales in China and Europe, and the impact of poor consumer spending on sales to OEMs. Archrival Intel (INTC) has already seen a raft of estimate cuts, and downbeat commentary about PC demand has been easy to find. 2 Comments [Tech, Earnings, On the Move]
- Tuesday, April 24, 2012, 5:53 PM Apple states on its FQ2 earnings call (webcast, live blog) its conservative FQ3 guidance was partly due to a 2.6M Q/Q increase in iPhone channel inventory. Its strong FQ2 gross margin is attributed to lower commodity costs (i.e. cheaper flash memory) and product mix (more iPhones). Tim Cook adds Apple won't follow Microsoft's (MSFT) lead in offering "converged" PC/tablet devices. iTunes revenue was $1.9B, +35% Y/Y. China revenue rose over 3x to $7.9B. AAPL +7.1% AH. 17 Comments [Tech, Earnings]
- Thursday, April 19, 2012, 6:29 PM Mentioned during Microsoft's FQ3 earnings call (webcast, live blog): PC market estimated to grow 2%-4% in Q1, led by 8% business growth (higher Windows license fees than consumers, and less piracy). Multi-year business license revenue now 40% of company's sales. Online ad revenue +9% (unimpressive relative to peers). Strong license and services growth forecast for Server & Tools. Entertainment & Devices expected to grow ~10% in FQ4, reversing FQ3's decline. MSFT +3% AH. Comment! [Tech, Earnings]
- Thursday, April 19, 2012, 4:21 PM More on Microsoft's FQ3: Windows division revenue +4% Y/Y, a sharp turnaround from FQ2's 6% drop and a positive for the PC industry. Office division +9%, a notable pickup from FQ2's +3%. Server & Tools +14% (+11% prior), fueled by SQL Server and System Center. Entertainment & Devices -16% (+15% prior) due to soft console market, swings from a $210M profit to a $229M loss. Online Services (Bing) remains a cash sinkhole, losing $479M. MSFT +2.5% AH. (PR) Comment! [Tech, Earnings, On the Move]
