Yahoo stock downgraded amid uncertainty ahead of earnings
http://www.cnbc.com/2016/07/11/yahoo-stock-downgraded-amid-uncertainty-ahead-of-earnings.html
My average is about $32 but considering adding shares again. Just seems to me the holding company that will be left sometime in 2017 when verizon completes the sale will be worth more than $42. You have any reliable numbers, I can't find factual information other than some billionaire hedge fund buying up tons of stock at this price....
I been a holder since $30, as long as it don't fall below that I'm good.

Dead, and Verizon May Buy Its Corpse
https://www.inverse.com/article/14086-verizon-to-be-bought-by-yahoo
Yeah that is bad news!back in July when they posted that article!but nice try
yahoo DOWNGRADED and SELLOFF suddenly coming http://thefly.com/landingPageNews.php?id=2398695&headline=YHOO;BABA;SFTBF-Analyst-downgrades-Yahoo-ahead-of-possible-sell-the-news-scenario
Correct. I am no fan of Ms. M.
However I am a fan of profit and I think that the sum of YHOO's pieces will add up nicely.
I sold my BABA earlier this week. I did NOT want to hold both YHOO and BABA. BABA has been dead money lately. Getting out whole sometimes is all you can do.
Yahoo I believe has lots of hidden value if broken up in a smart manner. I think Ms'M needs to go jump in the Bay.
I am holding on to YHOO. Watching closely.
Sold BABA +8%
Yeah i was thinking $50-60 too....the tax issues still aren't clear as to who will pay them, corporate or shareholders? Personally I don't mind as long as i get the value etc. But financial details are hard to come by even estimates etc. I read last week some hedge fund billionaire is buying up shares, maybe he knows something we don't. It may be a slow motion deal as assets continue to be spun off. Apparently BABA invested in a large china IPO coming up later this year that will increase value too. Ya never know how things will shake out in that market, as US companies are usually limited as far as investments but BABA is HUGH in china with 1.5 billion people etc. You obviously are not a Mayer fan....
Your right yahoo died 5 yrs ago bad management stupid mayer dumbo
Well that was a depressing read... It even even hard for ME.. a perennial pessimist to resolve.
Yahoo dead Internet business none http://gizmodo.com/5910223/how-yahoo-killed-flickr-and-lost-the-internet
Yahoo worthless garbage downward loss http://www.usatoday.com/story/money/markets/2015/12/03/yahoo-worthless-math-divest/76721586/
I would be lying to say I fully understand what yahoo has in IP, patents, etc. They tend to be vague on valuing their parts and pieces and unless we get a list.. There is the BABA shares.. AKA SPIN-CO which was another waste of time and expenses. This screwball Mayers really got one over on Yahoo.. After J.Wang could not right the ship they hired this WACK-A-DOODLE Mayer at great expense. I mean 'Hell if she worked at GOOGLE" type thinking..
When I heard Mayer's was hired I was shocked. First thought was how she talks. She is NOT overly bright.. She LUCKED-IN when she pretty much volunteered too work for free thus being #12 employee for GOOGLE only because... (fill this in yourself). Lets simple say that the Inside Tech world stories of her brilliance.. are NOT to be found. Anywhere. Now she has destroyed $2b in value buying crap companies. Thinking they would somehow reignite YAHOO. Yahoo died 5 years ago. It just didn't know it. Neither did the Board of Directors. AL GORE being one.. Didn't Gore say he INVENTED the internet? Gore is another Wackadoodle IMO.
$200 million severance pay? For a Wackadoodle. Wish we could claw back some of that..

Below Culled from Dec. 14, 2015.
If she stays on board for another year and a half, Marissa Mayer will make $365 million for five years of work at Yahoo.
That figure comes from Eric Jackson, a manager at hedge fund SpringOwl.
On Monday morning, Jackson sent a 99-page presentation to Yahoo's board of directors outlining his case for why Yahoo should drop Mayer as CEO and find new management.
Mayer's total compensation, if she stays for a full five years at Yahoo, will be $365 million, Jackson says in his presentation, citing SEC filings.
That's assuming that the company's stock at the end of those five years is at $40.34. The $365 million figure includes the one-time $14 million "make whole" award payment she will receive to compensate her for the stock she walked away from when she left Google.
The vast majority of her pay isn't tied to Yahoo's performance as a company — it's tied to Yahoo's stock price. Only about 3.3% of her projected $365 million compensation package is tied to Yahoo performance, and that's the company's annual target bonus of $2 million.
Mayer's total compensation, including cash and stock, increased 69% to $42 million in 2014, according to Yahoo's proxy statement filed on Wednesday. Mayer total compensation in 2013 was $24.9 million.
Mayer's base salary was the same in 2014 as the year before: $1 million. The increase in her total compensation was due to Yahoo's stock price, which has more than doubled since Mayer took the reins in the summer of 2012.
Mayer received stock awards in 2014 valued at roughly $11.8 million and option awards valued at $28.2 million.
With Yahoo's business languishing, and a new complex plan to spin the internet business into a separate company, there is increased speculation about how long Mayer will last in her role as CEO.
I would be lying to say I fully understand what yahoo has in IP, patents, etc. They tend to be vauge on valuing there parts and pieces and unless we get a list.. and some clues. I would be guessing. BUT for shits and giggles I would say $55-60.
Wow-that should throw some fuel on the hillary/bernie crowd regarding excessive CEO pay etc. The hate wallstreet crowd will make her the posterchild. You got any reliable info on a proper yhoo valuation after the Verizon sale for 5 billion. I'm having some difficulty grasping the numbers, i know they still own 15% of alibaba who also has a substantial investment in another chinese IPO coming up soon. But hard to determine if 42 is a fair value, seems it should be more.
Yes you are correct that there are many pieces most investors have no idea about and patents and IP and there is Real Estate.. I would be interested in finding a complete list of their assets.
I kills me that the Dinky CEO was hired at all. Her only claim to fame was managing the front page of GOOGLE which is pretty much "the daily doodle' as GOOGLE keeps a clean front page.
To be fair She helped with GOOGLE maps too, to some degree. BUT does this qualify her for CEO of YAHOO and the business aspects of buying other assets and running a Company as valuable as YAHOO?
IF she leaves on a sale she gets $200,000,000.00 on top of the $34M yr salary we are paying her now.. What a deal! GAG!!

yes taxes will be due soon. yhoo
i would say she did nothin to yhoo assets. assets were in the company when she becamme ceo
She was brought in to turn things around, that was her pledge. It would appear that wasn't possible so they sell off the internet asset, spin off other assets and what is left is...? There are billions in assets left and tax's to be paid by someone. Don't know quite how to value the stake in BABA as they too have investments in other china startups. One going public soon, how many others???
Are you suggesting she would have done better as a CEO if she could fight! LOL Yes Had she kicked a few butts YAHOO may have done better.. maybe.

Yhoo- falling down and failed company going bankrupt Yahoo! Inc. (YHOO): 4 Things We Learned From Yahoo’s Fall
Yahoo's sales can teach us a few things about investing in tech stocks
By Dana Blankenhorn, InvestorPlace Contributor | Jul 25, 2016, 8:38 am EDT
Editor’s Note: This article was corrected to say that Yahoo rose to prominence in the 1990s.
Yahoo! Inc. (NASDAQ:YHOO) has confirmed what we’ve known was coming for a few days now. Yahoo’s core business is going to be gobbled up by Verizon Communications Inc. (NYSE:VZ) in a $4.8 billion cash deal, starting the next chapter after years of decline for the aging Internet company.
Yahoo sells to Verizon

Yahoo’s fall and its pending sale does do investors a service, however, illustrating some very important points for anyone who invests in tech stocks. These are lessons that have been repeatedly borne out since the first computers were installed in the late 1940s, and that remain true today.
#1: There’s No Prize for Second Place
Technology markets are winner-take-all. This has been true since the 1950s, when International Business Machines Corp. (NYSE:IBM) quickly came to dominate mainframes and the “Bunch” — Burroughs, Univac, NCR Corporation (NYSE:NCR), Control Data, Honeywell International Inc. (NYSE:HON) — fought for crumbs in its wake.
The same thing happened in microprocessors, where Intel Corporation (NASDAQ:INTC) dominated for years; in PC software, where Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT) dominated for years; and it continues in areas like social, where Facebook Inc (NASDAQ:FB) is unassailable.
Marissa Mayer would have never gotten her chance to become CEO had “Chief Yahoo” Jerry Yang not put $1 billion of Yahoo’s money into another winner, China’s Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. (NYSE:BABA). The company’s stake in that Chinese business distributor came to be worth many times more than Yahoo itself, and Yahoo will still exist as an investment vehicle once the Verizon sale is completed.

#2: Wall Street Does Not Understand Tech
Technologists should never listen to Wall Street.
5 Tech Stocks That Will Be Obsolete by 2020
Yahoo rose to prominence in the late 1990s as a search engine, but Wall Street “experts” insisted the company’s future should lie in extending that lead into media, becoming what was called a “portal.” They wanted it to run newspapers, magazines, TV and radio — businesses Wall Street understood. I myself once wrote for a magazine called NetGuide, which billed itself as a “TV Guide for the Web.” Netguide ceased publication in 1997.
Yahoo wasted tens of billions of dollars trying to extend its reach into areas where people created content. It bought companies like GeoCities and Mark Cuban’s Broadcast.com for billions of dollars in stock. In doing this, YHOO became vulnerable to another company that did indeed focus on search — the company now known as Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:GOOG, NASDAQ:GOOGL). Had Yahoo ignored Wall Street and focused exclusively on search technology, we may have never heard of Larry Page.
#3: Software Scales. People Do Not.
Another important lesson of Yahoo’s fall is that on the Internet, computers rule. Software can scale where people cannot.
It’s fine for people to create content, but that’s not where the profit lies. Once software is written, it can be deployed everywhere, all at once, and it can immediately generate huge profits.
Once content is written it must be re-written, because people are fickle. The useful life of this story may be measured in days, that of a software program in months or years.
#4: Know When to Fold ‘Em
There is one more important lesson in Yahoo that investors need to know, which is don’t fall in love with your investments and know when to sell.
Back in 2008, Microsoft offered to buy YHOO stock for $31 per share, which at that time came to $44.6 billion. This included the stake in Alibaba, as well as in Yahoo Japan. Yahoo rejected the offer as too low. Verizon is coming in at one-tenth that figure, and even with the Alibaba stake included, Yahoo’s market cap today is under $38 billion.
When someone offers you more than you’re worth, take it. Cuban knew that when he sold Broadcast.com, his Internet radio company, to Yahoo in 1999 for $5.7 billion. Cuban then sold his Yahoo stake for even more and remains a billionaire, and celebrity, to this day. Broadcast.com disappeared and is now part of Yahoo’s radio operation.
In its 20-year life, Yahoo did some very amazing things. It was the first big Internet content company, having been dubbed Yet Another Hierarchical Official Oracle by co-founders Yang and David Filo, and run first as a Web index. It helped develop cloud computing. It was where Doug Cutting was working when he wrote Hadoop, the analytics engine that is at the heart of so many cloud applications. It also created a host of Internet billionaires, including Cuban.
Netflix: NFLX Stock Is Dancing on a Cliff
Yahoo was many things, but it will be no more. What’s left of YHOO is a media and advertising company that will disappear under Verizon and be run, essentially, by a team centered on an even older company, AOL. Its name will vanish into history.
Your kids will ask, “What was a Yahoo?” And your grandchildren will associate the word, once again, with Gulliver’s Travels.

That is the billion dollar question jump. Valuations have bounced all over the place in just the last 2-3 weeks, read and read carefully opinions from the various experts and know Verizon only buying certain assets. BABA had a large increase in profits last report throwing a real monkey wrench into the equation. As i understand it yohoo still holds 30 billion + in BABA who owns 30% stake in a new IPO worth billions too. I will be the first to tell you i do not fully understand nor am i capable of running all the numbers involved in this, another consideration is what the various tax collectors are going to get. They will get billions too. Honestly I am hoping for more than the current 42 price, but I have to admit to greed as my motivation.
What do you think the price target is for Yahoo short term?
Yahoo- no future no biz garbage no money destroyed
https://www.inverse.com/article/14086-verizon-to-be-bought-by-yahoo
I believe she has an ARMY of detractors. What HAS she done that worked out to the better of the company and positively effected shareholders? Nothing, Least nothing I know of.
I never have worked for her so I don't know. I feel she just used a shotgun approach and most all failed. How many billion has she wasted? Thats BILLION.
Yo Worm, glad it isn't just me. Just read Mayer stands to get paid something like 200 million from the Verizon offer, for what? What value has she brought to the table. When you consider the billions they were talking about with the BABA stake it would appear the buyout is only a fraction of benefit to shareholders. I truly feel short changed and should have been paid much more, just sayin.
