 "Yahoo's 3Q earnings at $297 million, revenues drop")
Yahoo is regaining its appeal among investors a lot faster than with the online advertisers who generate most of its revenue.
The company's latest quarterly results released yesterday are the latest to underscore CEO Marissa Mayer's challenges even as Yahoo's stock continues to soar under her leadership.
Yahoo Inc. earned $297 million, or 28 cents per share, in the three months ending in September. That's a 91% drop from nearly $3.2 billion, or $2.64 per share, at the same time last year.
Revenue fell 5% from last year to $1.1 billion.
