Xunlei Ltd. (XNET.US) fell off our radar screen long ago, after the company largely ditched its original video streaming services and made a move into the cloud with a shared-resources business model that looked interesting but failed to generate much excitement. In that process, the company’s market value dipped below the $100 million mark, under which we generally don’t follow listed companies.

But the stock has come roaring back lately, living up to its name that means “thunder” in Chinese, harkening back to its days when it was at the forefront of China’s online video revolution. The shares have risen more than fivefold over the last year, including a 96% jump over the last three days after the company released its latest earnings report for the second quarter, giving it a market value of $550 million.
迅雷有限公司（XNET.US）已淡出我们视野多年，因为该公司基本放弃了原有流媒体业务，转向云服务领域，采用看似有趣但未能引起市场兴趣的资源共享商业模式。在此过程中，该公司市值一度跌破1亿美元门槛（该市值规模以下的企业通常不在我们追踪范围内）。
In a somewhat ironic twist, investors seem to be getting excited as Xunlei inches closer to returning to its roots as an online video company. The company made an important move in that direction in June when it completed its 500 million yuan ($70 million) acquisition of Hupu, a platform providing sports media and data. But unlike its earlier foray into the sensitive Chinese online video market, Xunlei seems to be setting its sights on less regulated foreign markets with its latest online video drive.
然而，近期这家公司的股价强势反弹，不仅彰显其名中的“雷霆”之意，更让人追忆其引领中国在线视频革命的高光岁月。发布二季度财报后，迅雷过去三个交易日股价暴涨96%，推动其近一年累计涨幅逾五倍，当前市值达5.5亿美元。
