What Are They Bidding For?

Peck mentioned that The Wall Street Journal article “also confirmed our expectation that the second round of bids are due in the first week of June, but that it isn't clear if this will be the final round.”

The analyst also stated that there was a lack of clarity regarding what was being bid for, given that Yahoo has several assets that it could potentially sell, with the IP alone potentially worth $1-$3 billion, real estate worth about $1 billion and perpetual royalties from Yahoo Japan estimated at another $1 billion.

“We estimate the core generates ~$300M of EBITDA; applying a 5x multiple gets to a $1.5B valuation. Hence, if Yahoo were selling only the core business, a $2-$3B valuation may be reasonable,” Peck explained.

Multiple Bidders

In addition, the analyst pointed out that there still were multiple bidders and it was possible that Yahoo was looking for “the cleanest way to maximize value.”

Peck believes that bids for the core could rise above the reported $2-$3 billion, depending on the assets that were included in the bids.
