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.
