Hedgefond dumpar Yahoo!

Powering Hedge Funds

Stockholm (HedgeFonder.nu) – Hedgefondmiljardären Dan Loebs hegdefond Third Point köpte under förra året in sig i internetbolaget Yahoo! och blev då största ägare i bolaget. Det första man gjorde var att se till att sparka den dåvarande vd:n Scott Thompson för att sedan tillsätta Marissa Mayer som ny vd i bolaget. Nu cashar man in vinsten i bolaget och gör genom försäljningen en vinst på cirka 620 miljoner USD, det skriver Financial Times.

“– Styrelsens noggranna rekryteringsprocess resulterade i att Marissa Mayer blev anställd, därefter har Yahoo’s aktiekurs nästan fördubblats, säger Dan Loeb till tidningen.

Yahoo står själv som köpare av de 40 miljoner aktierna till kursen 29,11 USD per aktie. När Third Point köpte aktierna gjordes det på 13,50 USD per aktie, enligt Financial Times.

I och med försäljningen lämnar Dan Loeb Yahoo’s styrelse. På marknaden föll aktien cirka 5 procent under måndagen på nyheten om att Third Point säljer aktien.
