JANCO Partners upgrades SINA Corporation (NASDAQ: SINA) from Accumulate to Buy, raises PT from $66.59 to $100.88.

JANCO analyst says, "We expect the Company will release fiscal Q4’10 performance mid February. We’re confident the Company can meet or exceed fiscal Q4’11 guidance and street consensus. We’re encouraged over the long term macro performance drivers including: online advertising, Internet penetration growth, micro-blog (social network) development and China economic growth. The Company’s micro-blog platform has shown considerable subscriber generation, and will likely be a dominant social networking platform. As it relates to their Weibo platform, we realize Egypt’s recent flashmob experience could have some tangential impacts on Weibo, although we suspect PRC authorities are confident in their ability to quickly shutdown the microblog in the event of civil unrest; PRC authorities have blocked Egypt as a searchable word."
