Yahoo Japan And Yahoo: A Neverending Story

Y

Should Yahoo sell its 34.78% stake in Yahoo Japan? The question has been asked for several years now if Yahoo Japan (founded in 1996) should become more independent of its US counterpart.

SoftBank owns more than Yahoo itself (37.36%).

Yahoo Japan is currently worth $21.5 billion at the Tokyo Stock Exchange (4689), coming very close to Yahoo Corp.’s market cap of $23 billion.

Here is a new article on TechCrunch on this matter (not written by me this time):

Is Yahoo Getting Close to Selling Its Lucrative Yahoo Japan Shares?
