Sohu.com, Inc.
Thesis
Sohu.com is undervalued due to its significant cash reserves and ownership stake in its gaming subsidiary, Changyou. The market is pricing the non-gaming business at an extremely low multiple, suggesting that investors are paying only a fraction for its popular internet properties and advertising business. With a target price of $67 based on DCF analysis, there is substantial upside potential from current levels.
Did it work?
The thesis for Sohu.com was based on its undervaluation due to cash reserves and its gaming subsidiary, but the stock has significantly underperformed, declining by 71.6% since the pitch. This drastic drop indicates that the market has not recognized the value proposition outlined in the thesis, leading to a clear failure of the investment thesis.
