Everyone calling
$FIG “dead” clearly hasn’t been paying attention to how markets actually work…
Quick reality check:
$VZ picked up Yahoo back in 2016 when it was doing ~
$5.1B in revenue. Fast forward to today, estimates have that number closer to ~
$7B in 2025. That’s not “dead” — that’s adaptation.
Yahoo has been declared dead multiple times over the last two decades… 2005, 2008, 2012, 2016 — and yet it’s still generating billions. Markets don’t kill companies overnight, they reprice them. Big difference.
Same playbook could apply here. Sentiment collapses first, then comes stabilization, then re-rating when nobody’s watching.
Calling bottoms feels stupid in real time… until it isn’t.
Nothing truly dies in this game — it either evolves, gets acquired, or quietly keeps printing while everyone looks elsewhere.
