"This move reflects Yahoo's focus on our core brands, while aligning Engadget with an owner whose primary focus is operating and growing editorial media brands. This also includes a broader Yahoo partnership with Static Media that will support audience and revenue growth across its portfolio of brands, including Engadget."
Yahoo has sold Engadget, a long-running tech news website, to Static Media in a deal signed in early February with closure scheduled for March. The transaction reflects Yahoo's ongoing strategy to concentrate on its core brands including Yahoo Sports, Yahoo News, and Yahoo Finance. Static Media, whose primary focus is operating and growing editorial media brands, will now manage Engadget. This sale aligns with Yahoo's broader partnership with Static Media to support audience and revenue growth across its portfolio. The deal follows Yahoo's previous sale of TechCrunch to media investment firm Regent, demonstrating a pattern of divesting non-core publishing assets while maintaining publisher partnerships.
