- Monday, May 20, 9:41 AM Qihoo (QIHU +8.1%) shoots to new highs following its Q1 beat. A big reason: Q2 guidance is for revenue of $142M-$144M, far above a $121.5M consensus and evidence search monetization is ramping. Ad revenue +40% Y/Y (+49% in Q4) to $63.4M, value-added services (largely games) +119% to $45.8M (+105% prior). Monthly active users +11% Y/Y, to 457M, but up just 1M Q/Q (high penetration). Browser MAUs +7% Q/Q and +22% Y/Y to 332M. Mobile security users +33% Q/Q and +272% Y/Y to 275M. Home page daily visitors +3% Q/Q and +22% Y/Y to 94M. Home page daily clicks +9% Q/Q and +66% Y/Y to 489M. Opex +89% Y/Y due to search investments. CC at 10:30AM ET (webcast). (PR) Comment! [Tech, Earnings, On the Move]

Monday, May 20, 9:10 AM
Premarket gainers: AQ +116%. MEAD +97%. PACT +38%. WBSN +28%. RSOL +26%. ROSG +16%. JASO +16%. JRCC +14%. QIHU +12%. LDK +9%. PXP +7%. IQNT +5%. VOYA +5%. DANG +5%.
Losers: XNPT -26%. NBG -8%. Comment! [On the Move] - Wednesday, May 15, 12:21 PM Qihoo (QIHU +2.6%) rallies after Sohu CEO Charles Zhang dampens M&A speculation. Shares had previously slumped on reports Qihoo is in talks to buy Sohu's Sogou search engine (competes with Qihoo's so.com search engine) for $1.4B. Qihoo's Q1 report arrives on May 20. Comment! [Tech, On the Move]
- Monday, May 13, 10:13 AM Sohu (SOHU +2.5%) pops on Chinese media reports it's set to sell its Sogou search engine to Qihoo (QIHU -2.5%) for $1.4B. However, Sohu CEO Wang Xiaochuan has denied deal rumors; past reports have claimed Baidu and Tencent are also in the running. With Sohu still only having a market cap of $2.4B, it looks like many investors are skeptical (Sogou makes up less than 12% of Sohu's revenue). Qihoo (and for that matter, Baidu) would have to do a lot of heavy lifting to integrate Sogou with its own search engine. Comment! [Tech, On the Move, M&A]
- Wednesday, May 8, 1:10 PM A recent Chinese government proposal to allow local investors to buy stocks traded elsewhere could give a lift to "companies familiar to them," argues Stifel. The firm mentions Baidu (BIDU +3.3%), Qihoo (QIHU +2.1%), Youku (YOKU +1.2%), and Tencent (TCEHY.PK - trades in HK) as beneficiaries. All 3 U.S.-traded names are rallying, as are YY (YY +8.9%), Sohu (SOHU +5.1%), Perfect World (PWRD +1.6%), and Changyou (CYOU +3.1%). Youku fell yesterday after Baidu confirmed it's buying video site PPS, and will integrate it with its iQiyi site. Baidu claims PPS/iQiyi will create China's largest Web video platform in terms of mobile users and viewing time. 1 Comment [Tech, On the Move, Quick Ideas]
- Monday, May 6, 11:04 AM Qihoo (QIHU +7.3%) will be able to "generate material search revenues in the coming quarters," with the majority eventually coming from its own ad sales efforts rather than via Google, says Maxim's Echo He in a note lifting shares to new highs. He admits Google could do a better job of monetizing Qihoo search than Qihoo itself over the near-term, but sees the company's sales investments paying off long-term. Qihoo's relatively low capex (it has a 2013 budget of $70M-$80M) also sits well with He. (Barclays) (Google deal) Comment! [Tech, On the Move, Quick Ideas]
- Friday, April 26, 5:51 PM "Mobile monetization is distant, macro conditions do not warrant aggressive pricing inflation, and online video is competitive," writes Goldman on Baidu (BIDU -7.9%), following its Q1 miss. The firm thinks surging SG&A and traffic acquisition costs will lead op. margin to fall to 39% in 2013 from 50.5% in 2012. Brean (downgrading to Hold) and Barclays also aren't confident about near-term mobile monetization. On the earnings call, CEO Robin Li admitted mobile ad prices, though "growing nicely," remain below PC prices. Rival Qihoo (QIHU -0.3%), which may have contributed to Baidu's 6.5% Q/Q drop in revenue per ad customer, was nearly unchanged. 3 Comments [Tech, Earnings, On the Move]
- Wednesday, April 17, 11:30 AM Qihoo (QIHU +3.2%) rallies after Barclays' Alicia Yap starts coverage with an Overweight and $38 PT. Yap is optimistic about improving search ad revenue as Qihoo ramps its salesforce, mobile opportunities fueled by Qihoo's popular security software and app store, and margin expansion (eventually reaching 40%). Thus far, Qihoo shares have spent 2013 digesting their big 2H12 gains. Comment! [Tech, On the Move, Quick Ideas]
- Wednesday, March 20, 10:57 AM Solid earnings from Tencent (TCEHY.PK) and a rally in Shanghai help Chinese Internet stocks trade higher. YOKU +3.8%. SINA +2.8%. QIHU +2.5%. SOHU +1.8%. YY +1.8%. NTES +1.5%. PWRD +1.7%. Tencent, which rose 1.5% in Hong Kong, reported a 53% Y/Y increase in Q4 sales to $1.96B, and a 37% increase in net income to $557M. Ad sales were better than expected, and value-added service sales (includes online games) rose 32%. Registered accounts for Tencent's WeChat mobile IM platform, which competes with Sina's Weibo, have topped 300M. Comment! [Tech, On the Move, Earnings]
- Wednesday, March 6, 10:14 AM Sell on the news: Qihoo (QIHU -6.9%) is now off sharply post-earnings, albeit still up from Friday's close. Jefferies has cut shares to Hold: while noting Qihoo's strong revenue guidance, the firm is worried about weak margin guidance and a marketing spend ramp. It's also cutting its 2013 search revenue forecast by 12% to $100M. On the earnings call, management stated its mobile monetization efforts will be focused on games rather than ads over the near-term, and declared its Mobile Assistant marketplace the most popular Android app store in China.

Wednesday, March 6, 9:10 AM
Premarket gainers: PRAN +13%. PBR +12%. CYTX +9%. PPHM +8%. GEVO +8%. MTG +8%. TSL +8%. HNR +7%. BIG +7%.PBR.A +6%. PAY +5%. WPRT +5%.
Losers: AVAV -25%. TFM -11%. AEO -9%. SOHU -8%. QIHU -5%. NBG -5%. Comment! [On the Move] - Tuesday, March 5, 2:04 PM Qihoo (QIHU +4.7%) makes new 52-week highs ahead today's Q4 report; shares are now up 14% since last Tuesday's close. In addition to T.H. Capital, Maxim Group has been singing the company's praises: last week, the firm argued strong Q4 traffic and sales volume for Chinese e-commerce sites (they make up ~50% of Qihoo's ad sales) bodes well. Shares now trade at 32x 2013E EPS. Comment! [Tech, On the Move]
- Monday, March 4, 1:17 PM Qihoo (QIHU +2.5%) bucks a weak day for Chinese stocks to trade higher in front of the company's earnings report scheduled for tomorrow. Sentiment is getting swayed by a positive note out from T.H. Capital which points to a boost in online shopping sales and web game hosting activity for the company. Comment! [Tech, On the Move]
- Tuesday, February 26, 11:15 AM A month after Qihoo's (QIHU -3.7%) iOS apps were banned from the App Store due to policy violations, the company is reportedly thinking of abandoning the App Store. A Qihoo exec sent to Apple HQ to smooth things over "was not granted an audience," Marbridge Consulting reports, and most of Qihoo's mobile users (in-line with Chinese smartphone trends) rely on Android. However, iPhone users are a wealthier demographic, and still a sizable portion of the market. Qihoo -6.4% over the last 2 days. Comment! [Tech, On the Move]
- Tuesday, February 5, 10:28 AM Raymond James and Stifel have downgraded Baidu (BIDU -10.6%) to Hold following its Q4 report (I, II); the former is worried about 2013 margin pressure, mobile, and continued investments. CEO Robin Li mentioned on the earnings call Baidu now has 80M mobile search daily users, while adding the company is working with ad customers to create mobile-optimized sites (only a small % have done so thus far). Barclays asked whether Baidu's revenue/customer drop was due to competition from Qihoo (QIHU +3.2%); Baidu argued a mix shift towards SMBs was responsible. 1 Comment [Tech, On the Move, Earnings]
- Monday, February 4, 6:18 PM Baidu (BIDU) now -5.2% AH in response to its Q4 report, as investors show their concern over the company's guidance and perhaps also a 3.1% Q/Q drop in revenue per online ad customer (a metric that has been rising for some time). Sina (SINA) -0.6% after falling 5.1% in regular trading. Qihoo (QIHU) -0.6% after rising 1.1% in regular trading. 1 Comment [Tech, On the Move]
