Deutsche Bank Downgrades Sohu.com (SOHU) to Sell
Deutsche Bank downgrades Sohu.com Inc (Nasdaq: SOHU) to Sell.
Deutsche analyst says, "Sohu has succeeded in its spin-off of gaming affiliate Changyou, but we fear growth expectations of both on-line ads and games implied in Sohu's current share price could prove too optimistic. Downgrade to SELL on valuation grounds...We cut '09 Non-GAAP EPS to US$3.85 (from US$4.68). We derive our TP of US$39 from a 0.7x PEG (cut from 0.8x) and 15% 10-11 earning CAGR. Upside risks incl better-than-expected online ad performance, operation efficiencies post spin-off, and performance of DMD in 2H09."
Sohu.com Inc. (Sohu) is an Internet company in China, providing Chinese with news, information, entertainment and communication.
