The short answer is - yes.

A parent company is one that owns enough voting stock in another company to control management and operations by influencing or electing its board of directors. The company it controls is called a subsidiary of the parent company; if it owns and controls ALL the stock then the other company is a "wholly owned subsidiary". The actual definition of a parent company differs from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, with the definition normally being defined by the laws in the particular jurisdiction.Yahoo! Inc. is an American public corporation with headquarters in Sunnyvale, CA, thus its status as a "parent company" is determined by how that term is defined by the USA and California.

Yahoo has acquired control or ownership of around 60 different companies most of which still supply functionality or content directly through Yahoo - but some are stand alone entities that function more as parners or related businesses. The majority are US companies, but there are also subsidiaries from China, Finland, Tiawan, Australia, France, Canada, Sweden, Jordan, and Indonesia.
