 <title>New Yahoo CEO named by Q4 earnings?</title>
 <link>http://www.thestandard.com./predictions/new-yahoo-ceo-named-q4-earnings-announcement</link>
 <description>&lt;!--paging_filter--&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;!--paging_filter--&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;!--paging_filter--&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;Judgment made on January 13, 2009: &lt;/b&gt;Yahoo named former Autodesk CEO Carol Bartz &lt;a href=&quot;http://yhoo.client.shareholder.com/ReleaseDetail.cfm?&amp;amp;ReleaseID=359016&quot;&gt;as its new chief executive&lt;/a&gt; to replace Jerry Yang. The community has correctly judged that Yahoo would name a new CEO by Jan. 27. -- The Industry Standard &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Original prediction:&lt;/b&gt; Jerry Yang will step down as chief executive and return to his role as &amp;quot;chief Yahoo&amp;quot; as soon as Yahoo&#039;s board finds someone to replace him. Yahoo has been actively looking for a new CEO&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.nytimes.com/2008/11/18/technology/companies/18yahoo.html?_r=1&quot;&gt; for nearly two months&lt;/a&gt;. Said Yahoo&#039;s chairman Roy Bostock &lt;a href=&quot;http://yhoo.client.shareholder.com/releasedetail.cfm?ReleaseID=348088&quot;&gt;in a statement&lt;/a&gt;, &amp;quot;We all agree that now is the right time to       make the transition to a new CEO who can take the company to the next       level.&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Yahoo is under immense pressure to name a new CEO by the time it delivers its &lt;a href=&quot;http://yhoo.client.shareholder.com/results.cfm&quot;&gt;Q4 earnings results&lt;/a&gt; on Jan. 27 to shareholders. In the past year, the tarnished Internet portal has steadily lost search share to Google, turned down a $31-per-share offer from Microsoft, and got into hot water with the feds over its proposed revenue-sharing deal with Google. This all happened under Yang&#039;s watch. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Given the dismal economy, no one&#039;s expecting a stellar fourth quarter from Yahoo. But you can expect the Wall Street rowdies to raise a ruckus if Yahoo doesn&#039;t &lt;a href=&quot;http://kara.allthingsd.com/20081230/dear-yahoo-board-cmon-get-on-with-it-a-ceo-by-tomorrow-would-be-good/&quot;&gt;find a replacement&lt;/a&gt; when the company announces earnings.  &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Predicition: The notoriously slow-moving Yahoo will finally man up and name a new CEO to replace Yang by Jan. 27, the day the company reports its Q4 earnings.&lt;/p&gt;
