Like to crunch numbers? Here's the raw numbers just released by Yahoo.
Revenues were $1,501 million for the fourth quarter of 2005, a 39 percent increase compared to $1,078 million for the same period of 2004.
Revenues for the year ended December 31, 2005 were $5,258 million, a 47 percent increase compared to $3,575 million for 2004.
The stock is down in after-hours trading. Why? As one analyst puts it...
"There is nothing there that is a particular problem," says Martin Pyykonnen, an analyst with Hoefer & Arnett who rates the shares strong buy and doesn't own them. "It's about beating expectations and coming out ahead, and they didn't do that."
