Country Style Cooking Restaurant Chain (NYSE:CCSC)

The volume is picking up, does anyone know why. I read good things on the yahoo BDs but who are those people? I am way under water on this one. If sales are indeed picking up even while the economy in China is slowing down then this will become a real winner for me.

Concerns regarding macro-economic conditions in China have provided a great entry point near its all-time low for a stock that has the potential to be an incredible growth story. At a market cap of just $165 m with only 12% institutional ownership, this stock has real ten-bagger potential. Given the amount the company has been expanding its operations, it is not altogether surprising that it's not making money, but that will soon change.

Ten Plus Years Time

I think that casual dining in China will be big hit, more so than in America. As long as Country Style Cooking can establish itself as a brand name in casual dining, there is a huge potential that it can be one of the top three or top five restaurants for Chinese to go. Having said that, people who buy this stock now is buying on such hope of potential growth. We do not currently have enough of financial statement to judge if the management are executing their strategies with great financial control or not. We most likely need another year of financial results to make a better judgement. So far, they are also still trying out their dishes, so will their offerings stick around like the Iconic Big Mac? Time will tell. Before there is a solid following, and yoy same store sale increases, investors are buying on hope. Once we get the financial backing with more financial results this year, then we can know what its intrinsic value will be. For now, I am not so sure about its profit margins because I have visited its website and its coupons will mean lower profit margin as it tries to attract more people to dine at their locations. My other restaurant stock on my watch list is Wendy's. Wendy's is a turnaround story, and it is already two years plus into its turnaround. I think there could be some good results coming out starting this year too. I am actually quite bullish on Wendy's. As to Country Style Cooking, I rate it as speculative buy or speculative accumulate right now.

I expect this will be a great growth success story in China.

more and more chinese has extra spending money now that their economy is going up.

Business model show patient growth. Already proven to be almost double the price recently.

love it. mcdonalds of china

Great concept, solid leadership, expanding Chinese middle class market hungry for new food options

Despite recent blowups of Chinese stocks, I believe Country Style Cooking is a good company with low fraud risk. They are investing in their business and have solid growth potential.

This stock could do as well as YUM brands in China. It already has a huge following and is improveing its core bussiness to be more profitable. Also adding more and more stores and increaseing its customer base. One of the few promising long term holds in China right now.

Great customer attraction, low costs and still healthy gross margins; good opportunities for growth and reasonable valuation.

Well priced considering growth potential.

Going with Global Gains: "The Chipotle of China..."

Lots of room for growth, and the MF team visit had a lot of very positive things to say about the company and the restaurants themselves.

TMF visit confirmed stores were packed. Presently beaten down w/ other Chinese small caps.

Taking a gamble, company has potential to grow in the emerging chinese market and it is currently trading near 52 week low
