    Yahoo pode ser vendida

    Verizon to make bid for Yahoo next week, sources say



    Verizon will make a bid to purchase Yahoo sometime next week as part of a first round of offers, sources familiar with the matter tell Bloomberg. Internet giant Google is also interested in getting in on the action, another person said.
    Other potential suitors including Verizon rival AT&T, Comcast and Microsoft have all decided against bidding, the publication reports. Time Inc., which was linked to merger rumors back in February, is apparently still evaluating a bid while private equity funds Bain and TPG will make a run at Yahoo, perhaps with the backing of a strategic partner.
    Those interested in making a bid reportedly have until April 11 to do so.

    Verizon and subsidiary AOL Inc., which it purchased last year for $4.4 billion, are said to be talking with at least three financial advisors on the matter. To sweeten the deal, Verizon would also be willing to acquire Yahoo’s stake in Yahoo Japan Corp., sources said.
    Google veteran Marissa Mayer was brought in to help get Yahoo back on track in July of 2012. Mayer went on an acquisition spree while simultaneously purging much of the company’s outdated, non-core services. Yahoo also redesigned its website and relaunched its Messenger app under the tutelage of Mayer yet even still, the company was forced to lay off roughly 15 percent of its workforce earlier this year.
    If Verizon ultimately wins the bid, sources say they’ll replace Mayer with AOL CEO Tim Armstrong and Marni Walden (Verizon’s current executive vice president), who would run a combined Yahoo and AOL.

    Daily Mail prepares a bid for Yahoo

    Following a $4.74 billion loss last year, Yahoo is looking for a buyer - and the Daily Mail has put its name into the hat.


    The group behind popular tabloid The Daily Mail has confirmed that it is preparing to make a bid for one-time search giant Yahoo following the continued decline of the company's finances.

    Founded by a pair of Stanford students in 1994 as Jerry and David's Guide to the World Wide Web then relaunched in 1995 as the somewhat more memorable Yahoo - a backronym for Yet Another Hierarchically Organized Oracle - Jerry Yang and David Filo's company was one of the world leaders in internet search, despite using a hierarchical directory format rather than a free-text search system, through the mid to late 90s. During the dot-com era the company's web portal was the most popular home page around and the company was making money hand-over-fist, but the burst of the bubble hurt the company badly. In 2000, the company abandoned its own search platform in favour of returning results from more successful rival Google, and looked to reinvent itself over the following years: its news and media services took on new focus, and in 2013 - despite continued losses - the company acquired blogging site Tumblr for $1.1 billion.

    In 2008, Microsoft offered $44.6 billion to acquire the company and was rejected by Yahoo's board of directors. In the time since, a period of growth has led to a precipitous cliff: its latest financial report saw the 12,500-strong company admit to a $4.74 billion loss on revenue of $4.96 billion, and while its $45.2 billion in assets mean it's not likely to be bankrupt any time soon the company is known to be actively courting buyers - including, it has been confirmed, The Daily Mail.

    In a confirmed report by the Wall Street Journal, Daily Mail & General Trust PLC, the company behind the eponymous tabloid, is said to be looking to partner with private equity firms to pick up Yahoo. Its news and media divisions would then be taken over by the Daily Mail to bolster its own digital efforts, while its unnamed partners would take over other sections of the site such as its blogging and photography platforms Tumblr and Flickr.

    The media group will be competing for Yahoo with around 40 other interested parties, including AOL parent Verizon. Thus far, no bids have been publicly disclosed.

    Host of Potential Yahoo Buyers Emerge – Major Companies Linked


    Yahoo is up for sale, and some of the major players in media and technology are keen to pick over the bones of the once-great company, with Microsoft, Google, Verizon, Time, and the Daily Mail all indicating an interest in future bids.
    “Media companies, such as the Daily Mail and Time Inc., are reportedly thinking of making an offer,” reports CNN Money. “A Daily Mail spokesman confirmed to CNN Money that the company is looking at bidding for Yahoo.”
    Yahoo is currently valued at around $34b – a shadow of its value in late-2000, when the company was worth closer to $255b – with the company’s Asian stock accounting for the bulk of that valuation, indicating that the company’s internet business is practically worthless.
    Google and Microsoft have also been linked with purchases of pieces of Yahoo’s business, though the former is unlikely to make any such deals over concerns of breaking antitrust laws. Microsoft, however, already has a close relationship with Yahoo, and previously attempted a $45b takeover of the company back in 2008.
    “Verizon could also be a player,” CNN Money adds. “It owns Yahoo rival AOL and other media assets, and the company has publicly expressed interest in taking a look at Yahoo. AOL is like a mini version of Yahoo, with a sizable digital advertising and online content business. Verizon bought AOL last year for more than $4 billion.”
    “Private equity firms General Atlantic, TPG and KKR are also widely reported to be considering buying Yahoo,” CCN Money reveals.
    Former Vice President of Google Product Search Marissa Mayer was appointed CEO of Yahoo in 2012, tasked with changing the fortunes of the ailing business. After a promising start, Mayer soon proved impotent in her efforts to stop the rot that had already decimated Yahoo, with her cost-cutting measures of sub-division closures and staff redundancies designed to keep the company ticking over until it could find a new owner.
