afternoon Trendfinders! Microsoft still interested in a Yahoo deal!!
MSFT 17.11, +0.15, +0.9%) is said to be still interested in acquiring Yahoo's search business. Yahoo's Bartz hasn't made any decisions about what the company has planned for its search operations, but she has said that search is an important part of Yahoo's business.
Last year, Microsoft tried to acquire Yahoo with an unsolicited offer that was worth as much as $47 billion. Microsoft later withdrew its bid after talks with Yahoo's then-CEO Jerry Yang broke down.
Microsoft shares rose 5 cents Thursday to $17.01, while Yahoo was up by 45 cents a share to trade at $13.87.
