Lot's of cash, a good dividend...payout ratio of 36% so lots of room to increase dividend. Trading at a discount to book value. No debt.

Technical downtrend at the moment, but worth $17.25/share according to a non-brokerage website I trust.

Strong excess cash position (I show about 850m vs their 1,778m market cap)
Decent dividend (18 cents vs a $7.61 share price, 2.4%)
Cheap: Earning yield of about 12%
Good return on capital (I show on $22m of working capital after you pull out excess cash).
Good prospects/growth - new games in pipeline after a year of being a bit stagnant

Profit, gross, and operating margins all over 60%. Cash of $748.5 million with no debt. Gaming market in China is growing as people have more disposable income. EPS growth of 44.4 over last 3 years. Revenue growth of 47.2 over the last 3 years. Free to play MMO's are vastly more popular than subscription based MMO's in China. New sequel for their flagship MMO due in 3Q 2010. Also have several other very popular game franchises online. The main worry I have is that MMO's, which is primarily their focus, are very expensive to operate and develop so a huge flop could be devastating.

Online gaming is hot. There is no place with more potential than China. They crave innovation and the hip things.

Virtually non-existent pipeline of future games. A wad of cash...for what?

It's definitely true that Giant Interactive (GA) is a stable, financially strong company located in the hot Chinese gaming market. However, mountains of cash do not inherently translate into creative game design, and until GA gets a deep pipeline of games with potential going, they are NOT going to outperform the general market. in short, it's all about the games!

Continues to beat due to low margins. they have revised current game offerings with new features.and they are consumer testing new games as we speak. they sport a young and talented staff and a driven ceo.

I like GA because it is well-positioned in the online gaming sector of China, which has immense growth prospects. Although this company's revenues fluctuate a fair amount quarter to quarter, it generates steady cash flow, has a net profit margin of 74.39% (way above sector average) and over $1 billion in assets with NO debt whatsoever.
GA should be able to use these assets to fuel further growth and also to develop more MMO games for the burgeoning online gaming market in China. I think the Worst-case scenario is this: GA grows in tandem with online gaming in China. And that's a very good thing.

very low pe given potential growth. lots of competitors but they have solid mmog (massive multi-player on line game) more on the way and loyal and growing following. Could tank, but real shot to explode. imho risk/reward is extremely favorable
