Microsoft vs Yahoo - post-match analysis 11:43am on 05 May 2008 I disagree with your analysis. Microsoft have succesfully forced the share price of Yahoo down, and it will stay down or possibly decline further.

This was predictable in my opinion and may allow them to launch a hostile bid in the future but at a lower price than was being offered.

Yang should have considered this outcome, he apparently has not and is now presiding over a firm whose value has dropped by at least 17% based on latest reports.

Microsoft also probably knew from the ouset that Yahoo would resist, it cannot have been a surprise to them, so I think all of this has been a chess game and now Microsoft have in effect cornered Yahoo.
