It's funny, i just summarized her davos talk last night and looking at these aquisitions, they all fall into her 'vision'. The only one that stands out is tumblr since she said they were looking to do small aquisitions, therefore she is following her vision and the market will decide if it is successful. If she succeeds, the media will be praising her to the moon and if she flops, we will hear ll the scathing blog posts. So far she has raised yahoo's stock price, which has taken some pressure off here especially from some vocal yahoo shareholders.
- GuiA 13y agoI'd correct: If she succeeds, she will be praised to the moon, and if she fails, most people will say "heh, Yahoo! was doomed to irrelevance anyway" and forget about it in a few months. I'm starting to believe more and more (although not fully convinced yet) that the former is the most likely outcome; she's in a good position right now.
- brador 13y agoWhat's her vision?
- fitandfunction 13y agoThe stock price has been driven by share buybacks, and the appreciation of Alibaba. It's more accurate to say that financial markets, past acquisitions, and activist investors have driven up the share price. That said, the share-price uptick has extended her "honeymoon." Hopefully, all of these acquisitions, cultural changes, etc. add up to something.
