Por enquanto é apenas especulação, mas como costumam dizer: onde há fumaça há fogo!
Uma coisa é certa, uma eventual fusão entre a M$ e a Yahoo acabará por incentivar ainda mais o já avançado processo de consolidação do sector. A Google, que já há algum tempo dedica-se à aquisição de outras empresas, será obrigada a apressar o passo para não perder ainda mais espaço para a MS+Yahoo.
Yahoo rallies overseas on reported Microsoft interest
By Steve Goldstein, MarketWatch
Last Update: 5:52 AM ET May 4, 2007LONDON (MarketWatch) -- Yahoo shares rallied 14% in overseas trading on Friday after a newspaper report that Microsoft may try to buy the Internet search firm after being beaten to other deals by Google Inc.
Shares of Yahoo jumped 14% to $32.22 in Frankfurt on volume of over 110,000, which by German standards is extremely high for a U.S. stock.
The gains came after The New York Post reported that Microsoft may want to buy the firm in what could be a $50 billion deal.
Citing anonymous sources, The Post said Microsoft is intensifying its pursuit of Yahoo and has requested formal talks. In recent weeks, Google bought DoubleClick for $3.1 billion and in 2005 renewed a key search-advertising pact with AOL.
The Post also reported that Yahoo two months ago spurned a bid from the Redmond, Wash.-based software giant.
According to the report, a deal between Microsoft and Yahoo would lift their combined share of the search advertising market to 27% against Google's 65%.
