Yahoo’s Thompson Out Amid Inquiry; Levinsohn Is Interim CEO (Update 1)

http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2012-05-1 ... m-ceo.html

Yahoo! Inc. (YHOO) Chief Executive Officer Scott Thompson, whose academic credentials came into question, stepped down after four months on the job and the company agreed to realign its board to end a proxy contest with shareholder Third Point LLC.

Ross Levinsohn, the Web portal’s head of global media, will become interim CEO and Fred Amoroso will become chairman, the Sunnyvale, California-based company said today in a statement. Amoroso replaces Roy Bostock, the non-executive chairman who agreed to step down immediately from the board, which is adding three of Third Point’s board nominees.

Yahoo Shuts Down Its Email Service In China

http://techcrunch.com/2013/08/18/yahoo- ... -in-china/

Yahoo’s email service in China has shut down, with a note on its log-in page asking users to transfer their accounts to Alibaba’s Alimail. The closure of Yahoo China email was announced on April 18 and is part of its gradual ceasing of services in China since acquiring a stake in Alibaba, one of the country’s largest Internet companies, in 2005.

In January, for example, Yahoo China shutdown its Chinese music service, citing an “adjustment in our product strategy.” A notice on Yahoo China email’s site says that users with the suffixes @yahoo.com.cn and @yahoo.cn can register and transfer their data to a new Alimail account, where they will continue to receive emails send to their Yahoo addresses until December 31, 2014.

The Sunnyvale-based company paid $1 billion for a 40% stake in Alibaba in 2005. Since then, Alibaba has grown into the backbone of China’s burgeoning e-commerce market. In September, Alibaba closed an initial repurchase of its shares from Yahoo for $7.6 billion. Yahoo’s remaining 24% stake in the Chinese company, which is expected to go public within the next two years, is estimated to be worth about $14 billion.

The Sunnyvale-based company isn’t relying solely on its investment in Alibaba, however, to ensure a footprint in China. Yahoo recently acquired Ztelic, a Beijing-based startup that focuses on social-network data. Eight Ztelic developers and engineers joined Yahoo’s research and development team in Beijing, while Ztelic founder (and returning Yahoo) Hao Zheng was slated for a “critical leadership role in our Beijing Global R&D Center,” a Yahoo spokeswoman told us.

Best Stocks for 2015 (#10): Yahoo! (YHOO)

YTD Performance: -22%
Investor: Greg Harmon

Yahoo! (YHOO) hasn’t had the best 2015, but that’s not stopping the company from trying new things going forward. Coming into the year, investors were worried about how Yahoo’s core business could carry YHOO stock forward in the post-Alibaba (BABA) era.

Yahoo still owns a big stake in BABA, but it’s planning to spin that off, so the question is still relevant.

It seems as if Yahoo itself doesn’t know how best to proceed from here, but it’s making moves. In an effort to gain prominence in online video and news, YHOO reportedly renewed Katie Couric‘s contract, said to be worth up to $10 million annually.

Yahoo also struck a three-year deal with Oracle (ORCL) to improve search, which, let’s be honest, is a bit of an uphill battle when you’re going up against Google (GOOG).

With the attractive technicals that Dragonfly Capital’s Greg Harmon saw going into the year now gone, YHOO might not be such a good pick anymore.

Iconic Large Caps to Sell: Yahoo (YHOO)

7 Iconic Large Caps to Sell as the Markets Decline Deepens

Yahoo (YHOO) has returned to levels last seen in November as the boost from its Alibaba (BABA) stake has faded (right along with excitement with Chinese stocks in general).

BABA is trading near post-IPO lows around $80, undermining a big reason people were interested in YHOO last autumn.

On July 21, Yahoo reported weaker-than-expected earnings on a drop in display add prices and PC-based revenues while also issuing lower-than-expected forward guidance.

With the bulk (79%) of its top line sales coming from the PC platform, which is weakening, the company continues to struggle to implement strategic change.

Tech Stocks to Sell: Yahoo (YHOO)

Yahoo! Inc. (YHOO) has long been just an arbitrage play, where investors in YHOO stock are adding up its constituent parts and presuming the total valuation of those units is worth more than the whole.

The company’s stakes in both Yahoo! Japan (a separate corporate entity) and Alibaba (BABA) plus its cash holdings should equal more than the $30 billion market cap of Yahoo stock, according to some people’s math.

Unfortunately, Yahoo’s plans to unload its remaining shares in Alibaba are now very much in doubt after trouble with the IRS over plans for a tax-free spinoff.

Worse, Yahoo doesn’t really have a Plan B to drive value for shareholders. Its domestic Internet business is incredibly challenged in an age of deflating digital advertising, and CEO Marissa Mayer has presided over slow and steady declines in both the top and bottom lines since taking over in 2012.

She has spent big on boondoggles that have failed to pay off — including the $1.1 billion acquisition of Tumblr in 2013 that has failed to yield any real revenue or profits for its new parent — but by and large, YHOO has gone nowhere for the last three or four years.

Don’t expect that to change given the trouble with this Alibaba spinoff.
