Yahoo Japan saleThe US technological concern Yahoo sell its stake in Yahoo Japan, which value could reach nearly 9 billion USD before tax. These news pushed up shares of technology giant. The internet company has hired consultants to help assess the possible separation of the asset is reported CEO Marissa Mayer to investors during a conference call Tuesday. This will not include the planned separation of the stake in China Alibaba Group Holding.

Investors prompted Meyer to part with Yahoo Japan, in January after it announced plans to sell its stake in Alibaba. The value of the asset in the Chinese giant could estimates of experts to reach a value of 40 billion USD. However, Wall Street remains generally cautious about the plan.
