Brightcove, a provider of an online video hosting platform used by many large sites, is re-filing for an IPO (previously). The company is looking to raise $55M under the ticker BCOV, and says it posted 2011 revenue of $63.6M (+46% Y/Y). However, Brightcove still posted a net loss of $23.3M (up slightly Y/Y), thanks to a surge in SG&A spending. (S-1 filing) Post your comment!

Disappointing guidance (I, II) from Sohu.com (SOHU -14.5%) and majority-owned online game developer Changyou.com (CYOU -12%) takes a toll on some recently high-flying Chinese Internet stocks. SINA -5.9%. BIDU -2%. RENN -4.4%. Bucking the trend, interestingly, is gaming concern Perfect World (PWRD +6.2%), perhaps out of a belief that Sohu/Changyou's loss is Perfect World's gain.

Volkwagen-owned (VLKAY.PK) Lamborghini plans to unveil a SUV at the April Beijing auto show with a planned launch date of 2016.

Zynga (ZNGA -3.1%), no stranger to critical remarks about its business culture (I, II), receives a few more from an ex-engineer who blasts the company for caring more about gameplay metrics than about improving the quality of its games. The engineer also suggests Zynga only cares about a small minority of high-spending users, and is looking to "make [its] own social network for games." 1 comment!

A purchase of Twitter by cash-rich Google (GOOG +0.4%) makes perfect sense, according to The Street's Chris Ciaccia. While Google+ racks up impressive user numbers, it lacks the type of social engagement that Twitter delivers as evidenced by its 10K tweets per second seen during last night's Super Bowl. On the flip side, Google is seen as providing what Twitter lacks - a way to monetize the micro-blogging phenomenon. Though debate rages on what a fair price is for Twitter, a mark north of $10B seems necessary to get late investors out at a profit. Post your comment!

Bank loans to businesses rose just 1% in January's first three and a half weeks, a possible sign of slowing growth in commercial lending. Investors have bought bank stocks (XLF -0.6%) lately on the belief that more loans will mean better earnings, and Stifel Nicolaus is concerned that "slower-than-anticipated loan growth could result in... investor disappointment heading into Q1 earnings."

St. Jude Medical (STJ +1%) outperforms after UBS reiterates a Buy following the company's Feb. 3 investor meeting. The firm touts the strength of St. Jude's product pipeline, and expects recent weakness in ICD product sales to be offset by strength in other areas. It also doesn't see "any evidence of a problematic defect" in St. Jude's Durata defilibration lead, in spite of concerns to the contrary. Post your comment!
