Yahoo reported its second-quarter earnings Monday, and as expected Wall Street is not too impressed.

Though Yahoo declined to share many details around the sales process on Monday, Bloomberg just reported that the final bidders had come down to the following five companies: Verizon, AT&T, TPG, Vector Capital Management, and a group led by Quicken Loans founder Dan Gilbert.
