As a result of a Piper Jaffray Cos. Buy recommendation on Yahoo! Inc. (NASDAQ:YHOO), the company’s stock gained 1.9%. Piper Jaffray upgraded the stock from neutral to overweight because it views the company’s stake in Alibaba, which will soon have its initial public offering, to be undervalued. According to the firm, Yahoo! Inc.’s (NASDAQ:YHOO) stake in the Chinese firm will likely reflect a more realistic valuation as the IPO date comes nearer. Analysts Gene Munster and Douglas Clinton said in a note that though their firm view’s the once-formidable internet company’s core business to be challenged, it’s stake in Alibaba will likely make up for this deficiency. Piper Jaffray also indicated a price target of $43 on Yahoo! Inc. (NASDAQ:YHOO) stock, up $6 from $37.
