Top tickers trending

YHOO : Yahoo Inc. YHOO -1.26% shares slid 1.3% after analysts at Stifel Nicolaus lowered the online media company’s third-quarter earnings estimate to 23 cents a share from 28 cents a share. “Yahoo remains in transition, with a continued downward bias to estimates for the company’s core advertising business. Employee attrition in sales and other key business areas remains a problem, as does the company’s lack of mobile and social media strategy. We believe the new CEO and CFO are unlikely to offer financial guidance when the company reports next Monday,” said Stifel’s Jordan Rohan and his team in their research report.
