Since the sixth CEO in five years took over, Yahoo, Inc.'s stock price has increased over 125%. Nevertheless, Wall Street investors consider the Yahoo to be worth effectively less than zero, as its assets are worth more than the company itself. Yahoo owns a share of the Chinese site, Alibaba, worth roughly $37 billion and a stake in Yahoo Japan worth over $8 billion. But Yahoo's market value is a mere $39 billion. While Yahoo's sites continue to be some of the most popular online, the company's core business has proven incapable of effectively monetizing its huge internet traffic.
