I'm really surprised that Yahoo Finance has not been spun out as an independent company at this point. I think as a stand-alone company it could easily be worth in the billions of dollars.
Reportedly Yahoo Finance has revenue between $100M and $250M annually.
With the increase in retail interest in investing it seems like a property that could have some growth potential behind it if they did things right and separate from Verizon.
If you spin off yahoo finance it would just take the price out of Verizon media.
It sort of like if you spin out Jeep from the rest of fiat then fiat would be worthless.
I'm surprised Twitter hasn't been interested in Yahoo Finance and Yahoo sports apps. The onboarding into Twitter, integration with tweets would be worth billions. A lot of "regular people" use those apps, and Twitter investors are looking for the user growth. Also, if Twitter is going to become a platform for interests/topics, it would be good to have a couple of standalone apps on some core topics.
