News good for Yahoo, but valuation still key

Article Abstract:

Yahoo! Inc shares continue to be speculatively expensive despite being down by half its 52-week high. The Internet portal, whose shares rose by 18% on Jul 12, 2000, was responsible for single-handedly rekindling the interest of investors in Internet stocks. Yahoo!'s excellent performance at the stock market, however, is not expected to extend to its competitors in the long term since not everyone is as profitable nor as well known.
