Yahoo: Q1 Fine, Here’s Our Awesome Plan!
Yahoo dispelled concerns that Q1 will be a disaster and released details of its last, best hope to stave off a Microsoft acquisition: its own growth plan.
The plan calls for revenue and cash flow acceleration in 2009 and 2010 (after a retrenchment in 2008). It also provides support for Yahoo’s argument that it’s worth at least $40 a share.
We think the plan is more of a “best case” scenario than a “most likely” case, but at least we now have concrete assumptions on which to evaluate Yahoo’s evaluation of itself.
