These are the potential buyers for Yahoo's core business
- 8 years ago
Wall Street is clamoring for Yahoo to sell its core business, following Wednesday's letter by activist shareholder Starboard but the appetite for a deal becomes more complicated once the list of potential buyers is drawn up.
It's all speculation at this point, as Yahoo hasn't publicly put itself up for sale, but the differing opinions by analysts show how turning around, or selling, a once-dominant internet business is a challenging endeavor.
"We think that it's inevitable at this point that you're going to have significant change probably the sale of the core," SunTrust's managing director Robert Peck told Business Insider.
"Most likely the whole core will be sold because it's too hard to split out the various verticals."
