On CAPS, 99% of the 376 members who have rated NIVS believe the stock will outperform the S&P 500 going forward. These bulls include Option1307 and All-Star Seansonfire, who is ranked in the top 5% of our community.

This past summer, Option1307 wrote that NIVS' bargain-like valuation was almost too good to be true:

I know everybody in the world right now is suspect of fraudulent Chinese companies, and with good reason as several have gone all "Enron" on us with their financials recently. But if [NIVS] is even remotely telling us the truth on their income statements, holy geez is this undervalued!

Despite some skepticism over its financials, NIVS is just way too cheap for our community to ignore. Over the past two years, the audio and video equipment specialist has posted whopping compounded sales and profit growth of 67% and 52%, respectively. Yet for whatever reason, NIVS sports an unbelievable P/E of four -- a massive discount to slow-growing multinational foes like Microsoft (12.1), Motorola (45.7), and Nokia (33.6), as well as closer Chinese rivals China Mobile (NYSE: CHL) (12) and China Telecom (NYSE: CHA) (19.8). If NIVS' voice-recognition tech is as decent as CAPS member Seansonfire believes, it's tough to see the shares trading this cheaply forever:

The thing I like is their focus on the Intelligent aspect of their products, which is voice recognition integrated into several of its products. This means TVs, Robots, Cable boxes, DVD players, and other electronics can be controlled via Voice commands. This is not a totally unique technology as other companies have access to it through other patents or technologies, but it does NIVS a potential takeover target for a larger electronics manufacturer. They continue to work with Universities in China through research agreements to improve the technology, which could yield further patents which many help contribute to the success of the company.
