Yahoo stock plummets to its lowest level since October 2003
THE NEWS TRIBUNE

Yahoo Inc.’s stock sank to its lowest level in nearly five years Thursday, magnifying the challenge facing the Internet company as its management tries to justify a rebuff of Microsoft Corp.’s $47.5 billion takeover bid.

Shares plummetted $1.01, or 5.4 percent, to close at $17.75 – a price unseen since October 2003. That left Yahoo’s market value nearly $13 billion below what shareholders would have received if the company had accepted Microsoft’s takeover offer of $33 per share in May.
