Beijing-based Weibo (Nasdaq: WB) runs Sina Weibo, a micro-blogging site that is often described as the "Chinese Twitter". Launched seven years ago, it now boasts over half the domestic market, with 600 million users, of whom 126 million are daily users.

In the second quarter of 2016 revenue rose by 36% year on year to $147m. Weibo listed in 2014 and saw its share price fall by 40% in its first year. But in the last 12 months the stock has soared by more than 300%.
