Vimicro International Corp (ADR) (VIMC)

Overvalued, short term pick while it corrects itself.

A small but very well run chip mfg., located where long-term demographic consumer trends are evergrowing.

Buying this on a rec and significant cash holdings. Could see it just as easily fail as succeed. I'm betting on success with their cash holding.

bought this one at about $7. Morningstar analyst's have reduced fair value for Vimicro given the sustained competitive environment which Vimicro is no longer able to dominate, despite its leading technological advantage.

The Gardner's call for a buy under $11 is no longer valid but the rollout of China's domestic G3 network in 2008 should provide further avenues for growth.

I've followed the stock down to $4.91 and am holding there. Anyone contemplating buying now should be rewarded with a bounce in a year or so.

This stock is in my view undervalued. Although it is volatile, its market segment in healthy one and the results must sooner or later (I believe sooner) come and materialize.

under review

VIMC is selling at its net cash value. A locally dominant business in China, and growing, is available free.

With a market cap of $126 Million (not $500M like this site states) and $120 Million in cash, VIMC sports an enterprise value of just $6 Million and trades below book value. For a growth company with a leading position, this is just ridiculous.

As long as VIMC's Institutional Ownership remains low (currently at <5%), this company will remain an undiscovered gem. But with early signs of a recovering semi industry, Inst. Investors may bump into VIMC and snap it up in no time. For starters, VIMC should do a reverse stock split to get the price above the low single digit territory to be able to hit the screens of Inst. Investors.

Just like a young Bordeaux, buy it and stash it away for a few years. You could be in for a very pleasant surprise.

As of close of business on 12/31/07, this was a 5-star Morningstar stock that was trading at less than half it's Morningstar fair value.

Well run company with new product sure to help bottom line. Undervalyued and expecting 50% gain in next year or so.

Currently priced near its book value. Someone will buy or the analysts will take notice (like they did with CMGI).

run stock run. good boy.

Like all pops chinese stocks.At a give away price range of $4 and anything we all know where its headed in the end.Will be slinging out some products for a small company and as all pops stocks sure to make pops and grandma happy again.I tell ya,Grandma love her some pops.

This stock was just cut by Morgan Stanley... I don't understand. They have no debt, and a rising webcam market. They beat the street in August, and outlooks are positive for a great Q3 earnings report. Buy now, and hold on tight...

83% insider holdings, 117M cash, 0 debt

Good cash position, has been beat to hell unfairly.

GOOG

Earnings due out August 9. If they beat estimates it flies. If they miss it goes down a tad more. The market once again overpunished a good company with good growth prospects in a context of getting nervous about China.
