Verizon is still willing to acquire Yahoo after the data breach revelations because Verizon still needs Yahoo. Specifically, without the cash flows that Yahoo will provide, Verizon will likely be forced to sell more assets to maintain its big dividend payments. Either way, Verizon’s share price has come down, the dividend is safe, and Verizon is a decent place to have your money, especially considering historically low market volatility likely won’t last forever.
