STREET RESEARCH: In the past quarter, SINA announced an agreement on a strategic alliance with Alibaba that is expected to generate $380M in advertising and social commerce services revenue in aggregate for Weibo over the next three years. Alibaba also announced that it invested $586M for 18% stake in Weibo. Following the announcement, the company's price target was raised at Piper Jaffray and it was upgraded at Jeffries and Goldman. The analyst firms expected better Weibo monetization and accelerated revenue following the alliance. Citigroup, on the other hand, said the deal does not solve issues involving strategic challenges that lie ahead, including mobile disruption, declines in portal and social media lags. Ahead of Q1 earnings, TH Capital said 1H13 could be better than expected and maintained its Buy rating because the Alibaba partnership could accelerate Weibo's monetization to a "meaningful level." IT added that Weibo could show its strength and upside in 2H13 and could bridge the gap between market valuation and underlying value of its assets.
