Over on CAPS, 804 of the 823 members who have rated AgFeed -- some 98% -- believe the stock will outperform the S&P 500 going forward. These bulls include All-Star TMLonggun, who is ranked in the top 0.5% of our community, and bcnu6.

In late May, TMLonggun tapped AgFeed as a particularly live stock:

Low P/E. Very good long term growth prospects. Chinese will eat regardless of how the economy does, and likely to eat a lot more meat as they continue to become more affluent and shift towards protein based diets.

In a pitch from earlier in the month, bcnu6 also helped feed Fools the opportunity:

AgFeed Industries should appeal to both value and growth investors. The company focuses on increasing the efficiency of pork production in China, particularly through improved diet. P/E and Price to Cash Flow are well below industry levels. The company is raising cash "for the development of its genetic program and other growth initiatives" while keeping debt low. The company has a very good management team.
