Yahoo warns on ad sales
Yahoo Inc. warned Tuesday that slowing ad growth will depress its third-quarter results, marking the Internet powerhouse’s latest letdown.
Investors took out their frustration on the company’s stock price, which plunged by more than 11 percent to deepen a yearlong slump.
Two of Yahoo’s top executives, Chairman Terry Semel and Chief Financial Officer Susan Decker, delivered the bad news during a joint appearance at a New York investment conference that was streamed over the Internet.
The drop-off began about two to three weeks ago, Chief Financial Officer Susan Decker said, and will be significant enough to undercut Yahoo’s financial performance for the quarter ending Sept. 30.
