Tudou Holdings Ltd, China's second-biggest video website, is attempting a US initial public offering at a 62 percent discount to larger rival Youku.com Inc after equities plunged this month, sapping demand for new stock.

The Shanghai-based company is seeking to raise as much as $180 million by offering 6 million American depositary receipts for $28 to $30 each, according to a regulatory filing. That values the company at about 16 times sales in the 12 months through March 31. Youku.com, which went public in the United States last year, trades at 41 times.

Tudou's site offers user-generated videos as well as licensed and proprietary content. The company needs cash to invest in copyrighted movies and TV series to gain Internet traffic amid a crowded online-video market, according to Shanghai-based RedTech Advisors. Even at the steep discount to Youku, Tudou's price range is high, according to David Menlow, president of Ipofinancial.com.

"It's a little rich relative to what they have at this point in terms of losses accumulating in the manner that they are," he said. The discount to Youku "could be the only reason why people are interested in it."

Tudou, which is losing market share even as it spends more money, is attempting to complete its sale after 13 US IPOs were withdrawn or postponed from Aug 7 to Aug 12, the most in a week since 2000, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. More than $2 trillion was erased from US equity values in the past three weeks amid Europe's debt crisis, signs of a slowing US economy, and a downgrade of the US' credit rating.

While US stocks rose on Monday, erasing last week's drop, Tudou may be better off selling itself, Menlow said.

"If the stock is going to go down after the IPO, the company would be better off to sell it at a lower price and sell all of the shares," he said. Last week, following a report that Baidu Inc had approached Tudou about a takeover, people with knowledge of the situation said Tudou planned to press forward with the share offering.

The company is tapping the public market for cash to finance technology upgrades, bandwidth expansion and rights to videos to gain a larger share of the world's biggest online market. China had 485 million Internet users at the end of June, according to data from the ChinaInternet Network Information Center. There were about 215 million Internet users in the US as of July, according to the Virginia-based researcher ComScore Inc.

At the same time, Tudou is losing market share. It accounted for 14 percent of online-video advertising revenue at the end of the second quarter, compared with 17 percent at the end of 2010. Meanwhile, Youku gained 2 percentage points to 23 percent and Sohu.com Inc's video site jumped to 13 percent from 7.9 percent, according to data from the research company Analysys International.

Another 28 percent of the market is split among five competitors including Baidu's Qiyi.com, the Nasdaq-listed Ku6 Media Co, and a site operated by Xunlei - which is partly owned by Google.

"Tudou has to price at a pretty significant discount to get investors interested" in a space that has too many competitors, said Michael Clendenin, managing director at RedTech Advisors.

Tudou had 90 million registered users at the end of June, according to its filing, compared with 35.6 million at the end of 2008.
