“In our view, 4Q results demonstrate the cost synergies from the Tudou merger and management’s cost-conscious approach after the merger. We expect this trend to continue for the rest of 2013. However, the mid-point of 1Q revenue guidance missed our/consensus estimates by 10%/9%. The weak 1Q guidance is likely to lead to a stock price pull-back near term, but we believe this is likely to be a one-off and company-specific, given healthy market growth, intact core attributes and a favorable regulatory environment; Buy on weakness.,” the firm’s analyst wrote.
