Earlier this month, one of those Fools, henbrobrice, succinctly summed up the Guangshen bull case for our community:
With due diligence and the necessity of rail in a growing economy, I think this should be a solid play. Its dividends (given on a yearly basis) have increased or been maintained for 5 straight years. Its P/E ratio is less than 16 so it has been fairly valued in my estimation.
