Earnings came in at a $0.07 loss per share while analysts predicted just a $0.01 loss. The loss was led by a significant increase in sales and marketing expenses, along with cost of goods sold compared to 2013.
In the third quarter Youku expects revenue in the range of 1.09 billion and 1.13 billion renminbi.
Shares last exchanged hands at $19.82, 7.9 percent lower than Tuesday’s close.
