Deutsche Bank Upgrades SINA Corporation (SINA) to Buy; More Visibility on Weibo Monetization

Deutsche Bank upgraded SINA Corporation (NASDAQ: SINA) from Hold to Buy, raises price target from $92.40 of $94.80.

Deutsche analyst says, "Our upgrade of Sina goes beyond its growing presence in social gaming; Weibo monetization is approaching. We expect Weibo to become a profitable and scalable commercial platform as a core hub of activity in China. We see regulation risk waning. Social gaming is but part of a massively-diversified eco-system around Weibo, contributing to large-scale monetization."

"In the social gaming space, we expect Sina to remain a platform that provides great utility to participants in the eco-system. We specifically don’t expect Sina to become a social games developer, making it a unique play in China’s Internet space, where Tencent and Renren play a dual role of platform and developer."
