Sina Corp. (Nasdaq: SINA) reported a decline in adjusted earnings for the first quarter when revenues of the China-based online media firm increased 8%. The company’s stock lost sharply early Thursday after the results missed analysts’ forecast.

Net income attributable to shareholders, on an adjusted basis, dropped to $0.40 per share from $0.47 per share last year. Reported profit was $33.08 million or $0.46 per share, compared to $28.69 million or $0.38 per share in the first quarter of 2018. It was weaker than the outcome projected by Wall Street.

Net revenues moved up 7.8% to $475.14 million in the March quarter.  Adjusted revenue came in at $472.5 million. Analysts were expecting a slightly higher top-line number. At $388 million, advertising revenue was up 6% year-over-year. The growth was driven by higher advertising and marketing revenues a the company’s microblogging website Weibo, which was partially offset by a decline in portal advertising revenues.
