Goldman Sachs upgraded Youku.com (NYSE: YOKU) from Neutral to Buy and added the stock to their Conviction Buy List.

The firm sees 104% upside to their $55 price target.

Goldman said the recent 44% decline in the last month "presents an attractive opportunity to own a category leader in China media." They believe the selling has been related to China Internet de-risking and profit-taking and YOKU's IPO lockup expiry.

"Although we acknowledge possible near-term stock volatility, we highlight the stock for longer-term exposure to structurally shifting user behavior and advertising budgets toward online video in China," the analyst said.
