Over on CAPS, fully 1,904 of the 1,941 members who have rated GigaMedia -- some 98% -- believe the stock will outperform the S&P 500 going forward. These bulls include Wayferer2003 and sumbawa.

Late last month, Wayferer2003 noted that despite its slumping stock price, GigaMedia's "long-term growth prospects are still solid with no long-term debt, a sound balance sheet, net income up 11% and sales up 31% over last year."

A pitch from sumbawa two days later shares that contrarian spirit, elaborating on the trends still working the stock's favor:

[GigaMedia] has been sold off heavily this year like just about everything China (and Taiwan). But this company is healthy and growing quickly. Chinese gaming/gambling is not going away and will only grow. Strong free cash flow, rising margins and return on capital. Yet the current price seems to be pricing in 0% growth indefinitely. I'll "bet" their growth is higher.
