Rating a stock in CAPS consists of three components:

Your call - Will this stock outperform or underperform the S&P 500? Successful picks are measured in terms of whether or not you were correct and by how many percentage points.

Your time frame - A guideline for other players to see whether your thinking is short or long-term. Time frame is also used to calculate the stock rating, but is not used in the scoring of your pick.

Your pitch - Here's your chance to offer more detailed thoughts, analysis, concerns, or the rationale behind your call. The pitch is optional and may be added later.

Each time you rate a stock, CAPS updates the community intelligence for the company, which may or may not change its CAPS rating. For more information, visit the Help tab at the top of the page.

Still huge potential in people mass. Bougt in Q1/2005 at 15,50$. Will wait at least till the Olympic Games, maybe till the World Exibitiion in 09.





The stock still has some potential to grow.


And the dividend is not that bad at all.

This stock is about to break out technically, and China is super hot again. This one goes to $100.

Fundamentals: I agree with others who have reminded us that the "8 gillion Chinese people are gonna need a cell phone" theory is beyond played out. That theme is already more than priced into this stock, and it's also already more than figured into CHL's real-world business activities. The fact remains, though, that CHL has managed to increase ROIC, sales, and earnings incredibly quickly over the last 5-10 years, while at the same time increasing shareholder equity and paying a dividend. Cash flow is solid. CHL has a good internal market, but it takes more than that to make a Chinese company a good fundamental story. CHL has much more than that, and has operated effectively in its market.
Technical: I owned CHL for much of 2007, which I was very happy about. It rolled over from a technical standpoint in late 2007-early 2008. It has recovered from that rollover and formed a cup with handle base and is in an appropriate buying range.
Valuation: CHL's current price figures about an 18% EPS growth rate and a future p/e of 21. I think both of those figures are reasonable (but not conservative).
I'm getting back into CHL based on good technical indicators coupled with good (though not underappreciated) fundamentals and a fair (but not bargain) valuation. The risk, of course, is that there is not a tremendous margin of safety based on my valuation of this stock. Tight stop.

Highly speculative on this one. From what I do know, their financials and growth rates look solid, 15 quarters of EPS greater than 15% and low debt. Too consistent with growth numbers to ignore their increasing market share. Recent news shows they are building lab to make new mobile technologies with Japans Softbank who purchased Vodafone Japan back in 06'. I see high potential for upward movement.

Chinese wireless... Nuff said?

With market size of a billion people and counting, with no significant competitor in sight (for now), this is almost like a monopoly for the wireless giant.

The amount of wireless traffic will also grow with the Olympics coming up. Oh and one more thing: Asians love to chat over the phone more than Americans... so there you go.
