    We believe margin pressure is likely to continue into 2H while a recoverymight start in 2015 as returns on investment kick in. Gaming-drivenearnings growth momentum is likely to slow down in 2015, while we seeample room for advertising revenue to ramp up in the next few years. Westill like the risk/reward profile of the stock from a PEG perspective(currently trading at 0.7x PEG, vs our target PEG multiple at 1.0x).Maintain OW, lower PT to US$145.

    2Q profit beat on accounting gain; core operation in line. 2Q non-GAAP EPS of US$0.50 was 13%/9% above our/consensus est., largelydue to the US$8.4m gain on disposal. Stripping out the gain, the bottomline would have been in line with our estimate. Revenue was 2%/3%above our/consensus estimates, with non-GAAP OPM of 21.9% largelyin line.

    Margin pressure to remain in 2H; expect a recovery in 2015. We seecontinued margin pressure into 2H on aggressive marketing activities,which we believe should taper off in 2015. Hence, we expect returnsfrom investment to drive margin expansion and accelerate earningsgrowth in 2015, which will likely stabilize in 2016.

    Mixed growth outlook across different segments in 2015. We see apotential slowdown of IVAS revenue in 2015, given: 1) webgamemarket slowdown; and 2) challenges from Tencent on mobile gamemarket share. Nonetheless, we see multiple drivers for ads revenue,

    which we believe will serve as the main top line driver in 2015. Maintain OW and cut PT to US$145 from US$170 on lower earnings

    growth assumption due to a weaker gaming outlook. Our Jun-15 PT isbased on 2015E non-GAAP FD EPADS of US$4.10, a FY15-17EEPADS CAGR of 35% and a PEG of 1.0x.

    Near-term margin pressure followed by margin recovery in2015

    Near-term margin pressure due to more investment in the rest of 2014

    We see continued margin pressure in the second half of 2014 due to increasing

    marketing activities in order to drive search and mobile monetization. More specially,

    the spending will be around:

    Promoting mobile products (e.g. mobile browser and mobile search app) through

    pre-installations.

    Building brand awareness of Qihoos mobile search service.

    Hosting the 2014 China Internet Security Conference in Beijing.

    But expect margins to recover in 2015

    We believe the large-scale investments will begin to scale down in 2-3 quarters,leading to margin recovery in 2015.

    According to management, such massive spend is unlikely to continue into 2015, as

    The demand for pre-installation will gradually scale down as smartphone

    penetration increases.

    Qihoo has already established its market position and is approaching its

    investment goals.

    A mixed 2015 growth outlook

    Top line growth in 1H14 has been driven by solid IVAS revenue (+154% YoY) and,to a lesser extent, online ads revenue (+102% YoY). We expect the trend to sustain

    into 2H14, to support a JPMe 102% YoY growth of revenue in 2014. However,

    heading into 2015, we see mixed growth outlook for different business segments and

    expect ads to serve as the bigger revenue driver.

    Web game: Potential impact from structural slowdown of the market

    The webgame market has experienced a faster-than-expected slowdown in 2014.

    Rise of mobile games, which capture increasing time spent from users. Total

    number of webgamers has declined for the second consecutive quarter, reaching

    258m in 2Q14 vs. 287m in 1Q14 and 303m in 4Q13 (Figure 2). Developers tend to co-operate with large platforms that have better publishing

    efficiency. However, these large platforms have increasingly begun to operate

    webgames on an exclusive basis, and this has squeezed the growth of smaller-

    sized channels.

    We expect the webgame market in China to grow at an 18% CAGR from 2014 to

    2017 (Figure 3), compared to over 60% YoY growth in 2013, with large platforms

    taking market share.

    Figure 2: Number of webgamers s arted to decline

    Source: GPC, CNG

    Figure 3: China webgame market

    Source: iResearch, J.P. Morgan estimates

    Stripping out the revenue contribution from acquisition (JPMe USD18m in 2Q14),

    we estimate Qihoo's webgame business grew c31% organically in 2Q. Into 2015,while we believe Qihoo could continue to outperform the market, we estimate a 25%

    YoY growth for Qihoo webgame revenue, vs 22% YoY our estimate for the market.

    Mobile game: Sees more challenges from Tencent

    Qihoo's mobile game revenue and mobile ads revenue (largely from mobile game

    developers) grew 18% QoQ/9% QoQ in 2Q14, or collectively 15% QoQ,

    underperforming Tencent's 67% QoQ, despite a smaller revenue base. We believe

    that:

    Tencent has captured a majority portion of incremental growth of the mobile

    game market due to its better content control capability;

    Due to lack of control on content, Qihoos mobile game business is subject toseasonality or the game launch cycles of developers.

    Hence, we expect Qihoos mobile game related revenue to grow 277% YoY in 2014,

    off a low base in 2013, and slow to 35% YoY in 2015.

    Advertising: Likely to become the main driver

    We believe advertising revenue is likely to outperform expectations into 2015 as we

    see multiple growth drivers, including:

    Further PC search monetization. Search revenue grew 50% QoQ to reach

    USD62m in 2Q, vs our estimate of USD53m, with total traffic share already

    reaching 30%. We expect continued traffic share gain and optimization of search

    monetization system to provide potential revenue upside.

    Non-game mobile ads, incl. mobile search, still not monetized as of 2Q14.Management noted that mobile search currently accounts for low-to-mid teens of

    total search traffic, targeting 25% by end-2014.

    Continued development of PC and mobile affiliate ads network business.

    Improvement of PC start-up page monetization efficiency, especially post the

    integration of MediaV.

    We expect total ads revenue to grow 68% YoY in 2015, vs 51% YoY of our total

    revenue growth estimates.

    2Q results review

    Qihoo reported 2Q non-GAAP EPS of US$0.50, which beat our estimate (US$0.44)by 13% and Bloomberg consensus (US$0.46) by 9%. The earnings surprise was

    largely due to income below the line, especially a US$8.4m gain on sales of

    investments.

    Total revenue reached US$317m, 2% higher than our estimate US$311m and 3%

    higher than consensus US$310m. Online advertising and IVAS revenue reached

    US$171m and US$146m, respectively, 2%/2% higher than our estimate US$168m

    and US$143m.

    Cost of revenues was US$66.6m in 2Q14, 10% higher than our estimate US$60.5m.

    Non-GAAP operating expenses (US$183m) were slightly lower than our estimate

    US$184m.

    Non-GAAP operating profit was US$70m, 5% higher than our estimate US$66.5m.

    Gross margin (79%) missed our estimate by 2ppt due to higher-than-expected cost of

    revenues. Non-GAAP operating margin (22%) beat our estimate slightly by 1ppt.

    Forecast revisions

    We raise 2014/2015 revenue forecasts by 1%/2% on strong advertising outlook

    driven by search monetization. This is partially offset by a cut in game revenue due

    to 1) an industry-wise slowdown in the webgame market, and 2) increasing difficulty

    in gaining further market share in mobile gaming due to competition from Tencent.

    We cut non-GAAP operating profit forecast in 3Q14 and 2014 by 29% and 10%,

    respectively, on an expected increase in marketing activities (e.g. The Internet

    Security Conference). We expect non-GAAP operating margin to rebound by 5ppt to31% in 2015 as marketing activities normalizes.

    As such, we revise down non-GAAP EPS forecast in 2014 by 7% and tweak up 2015

    Valuation

    We maintain Overweight on Qihoo and cut PT to US$145 from US$170 on a lower

    earnings growth assumption due to a weaker gaming outlook. We meanwhile roll

    forward PT end date from December 2014 to June 2015.

    Our Jun-15 PT is based on 2015E non-GAAP FD EPADS of US$4.10, a FY15-17E

    EPADS CAGR of 35% and a PEG of 1.0x. We leverage PEG as our primary

    valuation methodology, as it is able to balance growth prospects against P/E multiple.

    Our PT implies a 2015E P/E of 35x and a 2016E P/E of 25x.

    As an additional check, we conduct DCF valuation that yields a price of US$149.

    Key assumptions in our DCF valuation include 1) a long-term risk-free rate of 4%, 2)

    an equity risk premium of 7% in the China market, 3) a beta of 1.1, 4) a discount rate

    of 12%, and 5) a terminal growth rate of 3%.

    Investment Thesis, Valuation and Risks

    Qihoo 360 Technology Co. Ltd (Overweight; Price Target: $145.00)

    Investment Thesis

    2Q results were broadly in line on both top and bottom line. We believe margin

    pressure is likely to remain in 2H while a recovery may start in 2015 as return on

    investment kicks in. Gaming-driven earnings growth momentum is likely to

    slowdown in 2015, while we see ample room for advertising revenue to grow into

    next few years, in our view. We still like the risk/reward profile of the stock on PEG

    basis (currently trading at 0.7x PEG, vs 1.0x our PT implies). Maintain OW.

    Valuation

    We maintain Overweight on Qihoo and cut PT to US$145 from US$170. Our Jun-15

    PT is based on 2015E non-GAAP FD EPADS of US$4.10, a FY15-17E EPADS

    CAGR of 35% and a PEG of 1.0x. We leverage PEG as our primary valuation

    methodology, as it is able to balance growth prospects against P/E multiple.

    Our PT implies a 2015E P/E of 35x and a 2016E P/E of 25x.

    As an additional check, we conduct DCF valuation that yields a price of US$149.

    Key assumptions in our DCF valuation include 1) a long-term risk-free rate of 4%, 2)

    an equity risk premium of 7% in the China market, 3) a beta of 1.1, 4) a discount rate

    of 12%, and 5) a terminal growth rate of 3%.

    Risks to Rating and Price Target

    Downside risks to our view include:

    Search algorithm is behind the market leader.

    National distribution channel is behind the market leader.

    Lagged search monetization.

    Competition from Tencent on mobile gaming

    Higher-than-expected marketing expenses

Morgan uses the following rating system: Overweight [Over the next six to twelve months, we expect this stock will outperform theaverage total return of the stocks in the analysts (or the analysts teams) coverage universe.] Neutral [Over the next six to twelvemonths, we expect this stock will perform in line with the average total return of the stocks in the analysts (or the analysts teams)coverage universe.] Underweight [Over the next six to twelve months, we expect this stock will underperform the average total return ofthe stocks in the analysts (or the analysts teams) coverage universe.] Not Rated (NR): J.P. Morgan has removed the rating and, ifapplicable, the price target, for this stock because of either a lack of a sufficient fundamental basis or for legal, regulatory or policyreasons. The previous rating and, if applicable, the price target, no longer should be relied upon. An NR designation is not arecommendation or a rating.
