Evercore Partners resumes coverage on Yahoo! (NASDAQ: YHOO) with a Hold rating and a price target of $50.00.

Analyst Ken Sena said, "We are resuming coverage on Yahoo where we have been restricted as result of Evercore's involvement in the recent Alibaba IPO. The valuation we assign is $50 which considers several valuation scenarios. These scenario outcomes, based on whether Yahoo’s 15% ownership of Alibaba is tax-effected and whether we see acceleration within certain segments of Yahoo’s core sustainably (including mobile, native ads, social, and video) point to a rather wide range of outcomes, namely $34-$72 per share. As result, while we settled on a target value that fully tax-effects Yahoo’s current stake in Alibaba ($32/sh) and does not give additional credit for core improvements, we recognize the potential value of both towards driving share upside."
