Do you see any buying opportunities presently?
SINA Corp. (Nasdaq: SINA) is one of the most well-known online
brands in China. The company is a leading provider of online media and
value-added information services to global Chinese community. SINA
continues to do well in its online brand advertising and is increasing
the gap between it and its closest competitor in the online brand ad
market.
Sohu.com, Inc. (Nasdaq: SOHU) is a leading online brand in China.
Services provided by the company include news, search, e-mail, games
and wireless messaging. The company offers services through one of the
most comprehensive matrices of Chinese language web properties and
proprietary search engines, consisting of the mass portal and online
media destination sohu.com; interactive search engine sogou.com;
online mapping service provider go2map.com; online alumni club
chinaren.com; games information portal 17173.com; real estate website
focus.cn; and wireless value-added services provider goodfeel.com.cn.
In the second quarter of 2008 the company derived about 42.5% of
its revenue from online advertising. Online games and the wireless
business each contributed 47% and 9% of the company's revenue,
respectively. Gaming is growing rapidly and should do well over the
next few years.
Which companies would you advise investors stay away from in this
space?
A decline in consumer purchases would impact Sony (NYSE: SNE), as
well as the contract manufacturing companies such as Sanmina-SCI
(Nasdaq: SANM). We would avoid these stocks.
