Over on CAPS, 341 of the 357 members who have rated NII -- or 95.5% -- believe the stock will outperform the S&P 500 going forward. These bulls include All-Stars bigpeach and Alex1963.

Last week, bigpeach tapped NII as a multibagger in the making:

I love companies that are growing in the technology industry in Latin America. Huge potential growth opportunities. [NII] has been growing both the top and bottom lines at a break neck pace in recent years. This is a potential home run stock that is trading at a P/E of barely 7. I'll take that even with no growth.

In a pitch from last month, Alex1963 pushed to talk about his own customer experience:

I've had push to talk [PTT] since it 1st became available. It is a huge convenience and money saver since it uses radio waves and is therefore (so far) free to use. The coverage areas have increased globally and a caller can use the radio to contact another PTT user even across the country. I think the growth opportunity for NII is huge and that their moat is actually currently wide … I am breaking several criteria rules with this pick in that I now stay away from any company with over 50% LTDebt and I strongly prefer companies with better employee efficiency #s vs their industry. But I believe in this product.
