Mizuho Securities Remains Sidelined on Yahoo! (YHOO) Following 2Q Report
Mizuho Securities reiterated a Neutral rating and $38.00 price target on Yahoo! (NASDAQ: YHOO) following the company's 2Q earnings report. Yahoo reported 2Q net revenue of $841m, in line with the Street's expectations. Non-GAAP EPS of $0.09 was a penny below the Street's $0.10.
Analyst Neil Doshi commented, "We maintain our Neutral rating on Yahoo shares after in-line net revenue and lower EPS. We remain concerned about the health of the core business -- Yahoo's primary growth engine, Mavens, actually declined 4% YoY on weakness in network video, some pressure on mobile, and continued struggles in search. Despite a looming possible transaction, we believe that the core Yahoo business remains fully valued at currently levels."
