Yelp Earnings: Revenue Growth And Guidance Boost Stock
Yelp (NYSE:YELP) reported its earnings for Q2 FY16 on August 9th and it continued to report growth in revenue. However, it surprised the market by posting a GAAP net income of $0.499 million, or a penny per share against the widely expected per-share loss of 7 cents. As a result of the growth in revenue, the company has revised its revenue guidance for FY2016 to $700-708 million. The street viewed this revision as a positive for the company, and Yelp’s stock is trading 15% higher in the morning-after market.
On the downside, the company added 7,000 new local advertising businesses during the quarter. This rate of addition was slower than expected.
