Cantor Fitzgerald analyst Youssef Squali weighed in on Yahoo! (NASDAQ: YHOO) today after commentary from the IRS's Office of Associate Chief Counsel late afternoon yesterday regarding changes to the tax treatment of certain spinoffs raised a cloud of uncertainty around Yahoo!’s plans to hold a tax-free spinoff of its shares in Alibaba (NYSE: BABA).
"This uncertainty pressured the stock shortly before the close yesterday, but we reiterate our BUY rating on the shares," Squali said. "An analysis of varying tax treatments of SpinCo yields ~$16/share negative impact under a worst case scenario relative to our $60 fair value. At $41/share, we find the stock compelling on DCF and SOP bases."
