Microsoft's three-month courtship of Yahoo has ended but it changed both companies forever and neither can expect to return to the way they were.
Microsoft and Yahoo will need to deliver on promises, address questions, reassess and adjust plans and deal with challenges that grew from and during the attempted acquisition.
"The key thing is that both companies are going to have to articulate very clearly what their strategies going forward will be," said Forrester Research analyst Charlene Li in a phone interview.
Yahoo has the most to prove and deliver upon, while facing a more uncertain future.
"For Yahoo, this is a situation of 'Be careful what you wish for,'" said industry analyst Greg Sterling of Sterling Market Intelligence in a phone interview. "Yahoo's directors and management very strongly indicated that they wanted to remain independent and now they get that opportunity."
First order of business for Yahoo will be to monitor its stock, which got a boost after the acquisition bid and now faces a possibly negative reaction from financial markets.
If the stock gets clobbered in the coming days and doesn't rebound, Yahoo could find itself an acquisition target again from other suitors, and possibly under less favorable conditions and terms.
Even if the stock holds up, it's still very likely that Yahoo will be pelted with a flurry of lawsuits from shareholders that feel the company didn't look out for their best interests when rejecting Microsoft's offer.
In addition, Yahoo will have to hustle to deliver on all the ambitious plans and promises it made these past three months, and prove that it can indeed turn its ship around as an independent company.
Financial analyst Clayton Moran from Stanford Group Company is pessimistic about Wall Street's reaction to Yahoo and about the company's ability to significantly improve its financial situation.
"Yahoo has missed an opportunity. We expect the stock to drop materially," he said in an e-mail interview.
Moran doesn't believe that in the coming 12 to 18 months Yahoo's stock will reach the $37 per share value that the company wanted Microsoft to offer and over which negotiations eventually broke down.
