Netease & Sina Set To Lead Chinese Web & Tech Stocks (NTES, SINA, BIDU)

Today we’ll get to see earnings out both Sina Corp. (NASDAQ: SINA) and Netease.com Inc. (NASDAQ: NTES).

Sina Corp. (NASDAQ: SINA) estimates for the Chinese online media company from First Call are $0.33 EPS on $69.14 million in revenues.  Next quarter estimates are $0.26 EPS on $65.87 million in revenues. Estimates for fiscal 2008 are $1.49 EPS on $333.86 million in revenues.

Analysts have an average price target north of $55.00 on Sina.  Options trading looks a bit difficult to use for a prediction too, but the pricing-in range looks to be a move of $1.90 to $2.75 in either direction.  Sina’s stock currently sits right under its 50 and 200-day moving averages, which are $43.07 and $44.12 respectively. 

Sina’s shares were down less than 1% in early afternoon trading at $42.95, and Sina Corp.’s 52-week trading range is $31.19 to $59.27

Netease.com Inc. (NASDAQ: NTES) estimates for the Chinese interactive online and wireless company from First Call are $0.30 EPS on $75.9 million in revenues.  Next quarter estimates are $0.30 EPS on $76.44 million in revenues. Estimates for fiscal 2008 are $1.24 EPS on $328.46 million in revenues.

Analysts have an average price target north of $22 on Netease.  Options are a bit of a guessing game, but it looks like traders are braced for a move of up to $0.50 to $0.68 in either direction.  The chart here may play some influence as well, as its shares have just recently gotten above the $18.15 200-day moving average and the 50-day moving average is $18.75.            

Netease shares were down almost 2% in early afternoon trading at $18.34, and its 52-week trading range is $13.45 to $24.00.

Keep in mind that Baidu.com (NASDAQ: BIDU) has already reported earnings last week, and its shares are down roughly 4% since that report.  That being said, these two could still influence Chinese web and Chinese tech stocks that trade in the U.S. tomorrow.

Sohu.com Earnings May Guide Chinese Web Stocks (SOHU, BIDU, NTES)

On Monday evening, we’ll get to see earnings out of Sohu.com Inc. (NASDAQ: SOHU). The estimates from First Call for the Chinese online search and advertising company $55.42 million in revenues.  Estimates for fiscal 2008 appear to be $1.55 EPS on $272.55 million in revenues.

As a reminder, the company just raised guidance back in December to $0.36 to $0.38 non-GAAP EPS on revenues of $55.5 to $57.5 million, with its non-advertising revenues at $24.5 to $25.5 million.  This is also after the company stock did so well after its last earnings.

Analysts have an average price target upwards of $62. If Friday’s closing prices are any indicator and if the earnings were coming out immediately, it appears that options traders would be pricing in a move of up to $4.00 in either direction. We are a bit cautious in using that as a firm number because of the activity in web stocks on Friday.  You can bet that Baidu.com (NASDAQ: BIDU) and Netease (NASDAQ: NTES) will be watching this earnings report closely.

As Sohu is a Chinese Internet stock, this one was up big on Friday after the announcement of the largest merger of the Internet as far as total reach.

Sohu.com’s 52-week trading range is $20.94 to $64.83.

Netease.com, Not All Chinese Web Stocks Created Equal (NTES)

Just when you think that all Chinese Internet and communications stocks only go up, you get to see Netease.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:NTES) fall by more than 10% after an earnings report.  Third quarter profits fell to an equivalent of $0.27 EPS on revenues of $76.2 million.  First Call had analyst estimates at $0.29 EPS on $72 million in revenues.

Shares closed down 2.6% after-hours at $22.28, but shares are down over 10% at $20.00 in late after-hours.  The 52-week trading range is $13.45 to $24.00.

You can still get a peak into 24/7 Wall St.’s "Small Cap Internet Watch List" of potential Internet buyout candidates, and we even named the likely acquirers.  Of course the right circumstances would have to surface, but that is always the case.  You can also joing the public distribution list that previews certain special situation data ahead of the web site formal posts.

NetEase.com operates interactive online and wireless communities in China through online games, wireless value added services, and web portals.

Baidu.com Up Eight Straight Days, Can It Continue? (BIDU, SINA, SOHU, NTES)

Baidu.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:BIDU) is one of these stocks that is pretty amazing when you look at its trading activity and its volume.  BIDU stock closed up Wednesday another 2.6% at $275.95 on 11.8 million shares, which is another yearly high and more than double average daily volume.  This wouldn’t be a big day on a percentage stock move basis alone unless you look at how it has been trading of late. 

This stock has managed to close up for Eight consecutive days from its last down day on September 2, 2007 when shares closed at $213.64.  Here are the descending closing prices from before Wednesday: $268.79; $252.89; $234.88; $232.47; $230.12; $227.04; $218.10; $213.64. But compare that to dates below and this one looks amazing.  If you compare this to lows in the past months it becomes "exuberant":

  • Lowest close August: $168.89 on August 16, 2007
  • Lowest close July:       $175.04 on July 24, 2007
  • Lowest close June:      $135.64 on June 12, 2007
  • Lowest close May:        $121.35 on May 1, 2007
  • Lowest close April:       $93.523 on April 2, 2007
  • Lowest close 52-Week: $87.28 October 2006

Obviously this one has everything going for it.  It is a hot stock for sure, but it is a hot web search engine stock in the even hotter Chinese market.  The overly obvious is that one incredible quarter is being priced in.  Should we dare we mention the hype from the coming 2008 Olympics?  But what else could be coming besides that?  Obviously a stock splitcomes to mind, but what else?
