<<Can Yahoo have a market cap of $100B in five years?>> Try putting together some numbers and answer for yourself. MSFT has monopoly power and sells for 29 x Rev CSCO is a market leader in a competitive market and sells for 18 x Rev Let's say YHOO will be more like CSCO in 5 yrs, than MSFT. Will YHOO have $100B/18 = $5.5B in Revenue? YHOO currently has $200M in revenue. YHOO would need to increase revenue by factor of 28 in 5 yrs 2 to the 5th power = 32 YHOO needs to almost keep doubling revenue every year for 5 yrs to be worth $100B Do you think YHOO will continue to double revenue each year for 5 years? (Actually 95% rate of annual increase works to 28) Or do you think that 5 years from now people will still be saying they can value YHOO on the basis of momentum?
