Alibaba To Take Big Stake in Web Video Company Youku
By KEVIN SHALVEY, INVESTOR'S BUSINESS DAILY
Posted 04/28/2014 01:35 PM ET
Alibaba is leading a $1.22 billion investment in Chinese Web-video company Youku Tudou (YOKU) that will give China's e-commerce leader and an equity partner an 18.5% stake.
Alibaba and Yunfeng Capital, a private equity firm founded in 2010 by Alibaba Chairman Jack Ma, will pay the equivalent of $30.50 per U.S.-traded share for about 707 million newly issued Youku shares, according to a Youku press release.
Alibaba's stake will be 16.5% and Yunfeng's 2%.
The deal will give Youku an influx of cash to help it monetize the Web TV series and other programs that it creates, says Tian X. Hou, an analyst at T.H. Capital in Beijing.
"With Alibaba's investment, we believe YOKU can start to monetize on its traffic instead of competing for content purchase or cash," Hou wrote in an email.
But Youku stock, which shot up nearly 6% at the open on news of the deal, quickly reversed sharply. Youku stock was down 8% in early afternoon trading in the stock market today, at an eight-month low near 22.
TheStreet.com says that the decline stemmed from action taken over the weekend by the China government, which ordered that China websites remove several U.S. shows, including "The Big Bang Theory" and "The Good Wife." Censorship has been an issue for some China Internet companies.
Youku's TV dramas are mostly soap-opera-like programs with extended storylines. They had about 25 million average daily views in Q1, according to data from T.H. Capital. Internet users in China watching videos online jumped 83.8% last year to 247 million, according to statistics from the Chinese government.
Alibaba, meanwhile, is preparing what likely will be a huge U.S. initial public offering.
Alibaba has built an operating system for smart TVs, notes Josh Horwitz, a blogger at techinasia.com. The deal with Youku "will likely allow the firm to strengthen its smart TV content in new ways," Horwitz wrote.

YOKU and other internet stocks down a bit today ; $16. So did EDU on probe.
UPDATE 1-ADR REPORT-Chinese Internet stocks down on economy
Wall Street suffers worst loss in three weeks
Thu, Jun 21 2012
Tue Jul 17, 2012 2:58pm EDT
By Angela Moon and Doris Frankel
(Reuters) - U.S.-listed shares of Chinese Internet companies fell on Tuesday on concerns about a weak growth outlook in the world's second largest economy.
Hong Kong shares produced their best day in more than two weeks and Chinese insurers and railway sectors jumped in anticipation of more policy support, but the gains were seen as largely technical. Profit warnings that have emerged daily during the past week, and Premier Wen Jiabo's downbeat comments on the Chinese economy pressured Internet stocks, one of the strongest growing sectors.
U.S.-traded shares of Baidu.com Inc fell 2.4 percent to $104.80.
Youku.com Inc shares fell 8.4 percent to $16.50 and Sina Corp shares lost 7.3 percent to $44.33. Sohu.com Inc shares were down 4.3 percent to $35.62 and NetEase Inc shares fell 3.8 percent to $54.62.
"With the recent announcement of a slowdown in the Chinese economy, some investors are concerned that it would even impact Chinese Internet companies," said William Lefkowitz, options strategist at New York-based brokerage firm vFinance Investments.
"As a result, you are seeing these stocks under pressure and some large put buying in some of them."
Traders exchanged 56,000 puts and 43,000 calls thus far on Baidu Inc, 2.9 times the typical levels, according to data from options analytics firm Trade Alert. The most active option in Baidu was the July $100 strike puts, which traded 13,011 times thus far, mostly in small lots.
Overall options volume -- in NetEase, Youku Inc, Sina.com and Baidu -- were all above the average daily levels on Tuesday, Trade Alert data showed. Turnover in their shares has also been active.
"The options market reflects elevated risk in the Chinese digital media stocks as the implied volatility has been rising and the stocks have been dropping over the last week and yet the news flow on them has been sparse," said Ophir Gottlieb, managing director of options analytics firm Livevol.
"The risk appears to be systemic rather than stock specific."
In NetEase, put options were more active than usual, with around 19 contracts changing hands for each single call option in play on the stock late on Tuesday. Overall options volume of 21,000 contracts traded so far compares to a paltry average daily volume of just 824 contracts, according to Interactive Brokers Group data.
But the broader market edged up on gains in Latin American stocks listed in the U.S. The BNY Mellon index of leading Latin American ADRs gained 0.6 percent
The BNY Mellon index of leading American depositary receipts was up 0.3 percent, while the Standard & Poor's 500 index gained 0.6 percent. The BNY Mellon index of leading European ADRs was up 0.3 percent.
The BNY Mellon index of leading Asian ADRs rose 0.1 percent.

Youku to buy Tudou, creating China online video giant
Reuters – 1 hour 3 minutes ago.. .
By Kazunori Takada
SHANGHAI (Reuters) - China's top two online video companies are joining forces, with Youku.com buying smaller rival Tudou Holdings Ltd in an all-stock deal worth over $1 billion, creating an industry leader with more than a one third share of a market that is losing money as it battles rising costs.
The two U.S.-listed firms have been bitter rivals, locking horns in courtroom battles over alleged copyright infringement and unfair competitive practices.
Both companies have this month reported a net loss for last year, pinched by rising costs for Internet bandwidth, content and mobile video services.
But bringing the two together is a good move for a highly competitive industry with many players fighting over more than 450 million Internet users, analysts said.
"This creates China's biggest video site, but it doesn't create a YouTube - they still have less than 50 percent market share," said Bill Bishop, an independent analyst based in Beijing.
Youku currently leads the fragmented Chinese online video market with a 21.8 percent share, ahead of Tudou's 13.7 percent, according to Internet research firm Analysys International.
"We know online video is way too competitive. There are 10 players, where there should be only one to two," said Michael Clendenin, managing director of Shanghai-based RedTech Advisors.
"After this merger there are still too many players in the industry," he said, noting others in the market such as Sohu.com Inc, Baidu Inc, and Tencent Holdings Ltd, which is trying to develop an online video platform.
"These are not small, insignificant players. So even though this is a step in the right direction in terms of consolidation, there's still a long way to go," Clendenin added.
Far from stifling competition, though, one rival even welcomed the move.
"From an industry perspective, Youku and Tudou's deal is conducive for the healthy development of the sector," iQiyi, Baidu's online video platform, said in an email to Reuters.
"The cost of purchasing copyrights in the market will be more effectively controlled with fewer ... online video companies. It will also reduce the competition for bandwidth and market talent."
TUDOU SHARES JUMP
Once the deal is completed, the combined entity will be named Youku Tudou Inc, and headed by Youku chairman and CEO Victor Koo. Tudou's CEO Gary Wang will join the new entity's board of directors.
As of Friday's close, Youku's market value of around $2.85 billion was six times that of Tudou. Under the terms of the deal, Youku stock and ADS holders will own around 71.5 percent of the new company, with the rest held by Tudou shareholders and ADS holders.
In pre-market trading on Monday, shares of Tudou, which is 9 percent owned by Sina Corp, more than doubled to $33.52 from Friday's $15.39 close. Partly reflecting the tough competition, Tudou shares, which debuted in August, had consistently traded below their IPO price of $29 each.
"It (the deal) is a sign of how difficult this market is and both companies have probably realized how hard the road ahead would be if they went the independent route," said Bishop. "It should help them get to profitability. Tudou's earnings were released last week and were horrible."
"I imagine this will help other companies in the sector that are trying to list, by reviving interest in the sector. It will also pull up other stocks such as Renren, which could now become takeover targets," he added.
The two firms have sparred publicly in recent months, with Youku filing a lawsuit against Tudou earlier this year seeking 4.8 million yuan ($762,000) in compensation, saying it incurred losses because of claims by its smaller rival that Youku had misused copyrighted material, the official Xinhua news agency reported in February.
The row began in December when the two firms traded accusations of stealing and reposting videos from each other's sites.
Goldman Sachs, Allen & Company LLC and China Renaissance Holdings Ltd are financial advisers for Youku, the two companies said in statement.
Morgan Stanley acted as lead financial adviser and Credit Suisse as co-financial adviser for Tudou on this deal, they said.
