Core <CORJ.J> shares surge on Yahoo Inc. deal JOHANNESBURG, March 24 (Reuters) - Shares in South African information technology firm Core Holdings Ltd soared almost 38 percent on Wednesday as the market applauded an exclusive deal with Internet search agent Yahoo Inc <YHOO.O>. Core stock had risen 30 cents to 110 cents by 1027 GMT with more than two million shares having changed hands during the session. Core Holdings announced on Tuesday that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Internet Strategies Ltd had clinched an exclusive agreement to represent U.S-based Yahoo in sub-Saharan Africa, including South Africa.
