The Pressure's On Terry Semel

from the no-one-likes-him dept

As everyone waits to see what Yahoo’s earnings are like today, it sounds like analysts can’t wait to tear apart Terry Semel. It seems a bit quick to be judging his performance. He’s only been in the job a few months. From what I’ve seen, it looks like he’s been exploring different ways to make revenue, but doesn’t want to jump too quickly and make a horribly bad decision. That seems pretty smart (assuming that eventually they do figure out ways to add revenue). It’s amazing that analysts expect a miracle solution to have suddenly appeared.
