Yahoo Finance is slated to receive an overhaul as part of CEO Marissa Mayer’s mobile strategy, reports Garett Sloane of the New York Post.

Sloane writes, “The company is retooling its popular finance product, which delivers stock updates and money news.

“Finance is getting the full mobile treatment, much like the one Yahoo! developers performed on its other top property, Weather, with an updated, highly stylized app.

“The latest Weather app was released yesterday on Android phones, months after it was redesigned and launched on Apple’s iOS.

“It was unclear when the new Yahoo! Finance would be ready, but it is clear the coming weeks could be crucial for Mayer’s ambitions as Apple is set to release iOS 7 next month.

“Apple’s new mobile operating system is considered its biggest leap forward, giving app makers like Yahoo! a chance to recapture users’ attention.”
