    Conference spotlight puts fresh attention on Yelp

    Yelp (YELP) heads to the Goldman Sachs Communacopia + Technology Conference at The Palace Hotel today, giving investors a fresh look at this San Francisco based reviews and advertising platform.

    The appearance comes after a tough stretch for the shares, with the price down over the past month and past 3 months, and a market value of about US$1.1b based on the last close of US$20.47.

    At around US$20.47, Yelp’s 1 day share price return declined 2.34% and the 7 day share price return fell 8.70%, extending a year to date share price drop of 32.22% and a 1 year total shareholder return decline of 34.39%. This points to fading momentum as investors reassess growth prospects and risk after earlier moves.
