She expanded it by buying Tumblr, Flickr etc, and also doubled the premium media content. But, she wasn’t able to give back, the lost dignity of it. Last Monday an official statement came that around 15% of the revenue has fallen down, with 64% fall in the operating profit. So, after this loss Mayer said that Yahoo is all set to sell its core assets.

Why Verizon?

Since Verizon is one of the leading telecom company, and it is considered a perfect buyer for Yahoo. With the success in telecom(wireless industry) field Verizon wants its buisness to expand in the mobile advertisement market, which is being dominated by Facebook and Google. So, this is the reason behind, buying Yahoo. Since, growth of Verizon has decreased hence Yahoo will help it, to regain its lost ground from the other tech giants. Yahoo has many Websites in its pocket like Tumblr, Flickr, Yahoo Finance etc, so these may help Verizon in many ways.

This deal would not only give Verizon a powerful come back in telecom field, but will also make its strong presence in mobile advertising field. Which will lead a powerful collection of  revenue and content from ad related stuff. And company could also target the audience by knowing its taste in online advertisement, by getting the amount of user data from Yahoo.
