Yahoo! CEO Carol Bartz said the company delivered a solid quarter with good display advertising revenue growth, big gains in operating income, and margins that were double what they were last year.

The company said that it expects GAAP revenue for the fourth quarter of 2010 to be in the range of $1.4bn to $1.53bn.
