Goldman Sachs reinstated coverage on SINA Corporation (NASDAQ: SINA) with a Buy rating and a price target of $63.00.

Analyst Piyush Mubayi said, "Sina is trading at 43% below estimated NAV after declining 43% YTD (vs. NASDAQ -2%). Based on Weibo’s current market cap, the discount is 26%. We believe the discount is due to uncertainty around Sina’s use of its US$1.8bn net cash following Weibo’s IPO, as well as recent concerns over operating licenses for Internet publication and audio-visual content transmission. To reflect these risks, we apply a 25% holdco discount to our NAV to arrive at our target price. We do see favorable risk-reward at current levels, however, and expect the ongoing buyback and Weibo’s positive outlook in coming quarters to drive rerating."
