Despite the fact that it has become a laughingstock and cautionary tale among the digital elite, Yahoo’s properties are still visited by some 700 million normal people a month.

700 million!

This humongous audience is attracted by several things:

• Yahoo Mail (still one of the leading mail platforms worldwide)
• Yahoo content (Finance, Sports, Entertainment, videos, etc.)
• Yahoo’s brand
• Yahoo’s “products”

And here’s something else Yahoo has.

Revenue and cash flow.

Even in its current deflated state, Yahoo still generates $1.6 billion of revenue per quarter ($6 billion per year) and $250 million of free cash flow ($1 billion a year).
