\"Marissa<\/a><\/p>\n

Yahoo could sell its core business and a list of potential buyers is already forming after a Wall Street Journal report on Tuesday said the company’s board is\u00a0considering a sale<\/p>\n

Among the top prospect are Verizon Wireless, which recently acquired AOL for $4.4 billion in June, and IAC Interactive, the owner of 150 internet brands, including Match.com, Tinder, and HomeAdvisor.<\/p>\n

Anonymous sources said Yahoo will “likely explore a purchase,”The Wall Street Journal said in a follow-up report<\/a> on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

News Corp., which owns The Journal, and Time Inc. would also consider acquiring pieces of Yahoo, should they become available, The Journal\u00a0says.<\/p>\n

\"04<\/a><\/p>\n

Business Insider<\/a> believes Comcast “could make a move after recently investing in Vox and Buzzfeed, and Disney, which has explored investments in Buzzfeed and Vice.”<\/p>\n

Analysts are already beginning to put a value on Yahoo’s core business. \u00a0Pivotal Research analyst Brian Wieser values Yahoo’s core at $1.9 billion, not including the $5.8 billion in cash on its balance sheet. SunTrust analyst Robert Peck believes Yahoo could net $6 billion to $8 billion from a sale.<\/p>\n
