Alphabet Inc's Google unit is mulling a bid for Yahoo Inc's core business, Bloomberg reported, citing a source.
Verizon Communications Inc, which has been rumored to consider bidding for Yahoo, plans to make a first-round bid for the internet giant's web business next week, Bloomberg reported, citing people familiar with the matter.
AT&T Inc, Comcast Corp and Microsoft Corp are not bidding this time, Bloomberg said.
Yahoo shares were down 1% and Verizon shares were down 3%.
Yahoo launched an auction of its core business in February after it shelved plans to spin off its stake in Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba Group Holding Ltd.
Verizon and Yahoo declined to comment.
Google, AT&T, Comcast and Microsoft could not be reached immediately for comments.
