Russia has become Europe’s largest population of Internet users, boosting Yandex to the top of the search engine popularity lists
Yandex stocks have garnered interest in investors:
“Also, Yandex’s Accumulation-Distribution Rating has soared to a best-possible A+ from C- at the end of June, indicating that institutional investors find the shares attractive.

To extend its reach, Yandex is headed to the mobile search market and the search engine has also started a mapping service. One of its primary goals is to decrease its dependence on Russian advertising by trying its lot in Turkey. Like anything these days, however, Yandex’s success fluctuates with Russia’s economy, but profit is expected to continue to for the rest of the year. Yandex has its job cut out for it in the US market. Google is so ingrained into the average US’s citizen’s daily life: maps, mail, social networking, documents, etc. that Yandex will have to up its offerings and services to compete.
