Over on CAPS, 110 of the 113 All-Star members who have rated China Security -- or 97% -- believe the stock will outperform the S&P 500 going forward. These bulls include jsbalaban and TSIF, both of whom are ranked in the top 15% of our community.
Two weeks ago, jsbalaban tapped the stock as a secure way to play in China: "Great growth record, the right govt connections, good cash flow and not too much debt--- this company is going places and already occupies the top security surveillance provider slot in China."
In a pitch from a week earlier, TSIF takes a more balanced bull-view of the company:
I can't think of a better market niche than security in China. The insider buying on this one is incredible and actually getting near 50% ownership which is sometimes a neg in my opinion as someone with an agenda can derail a company. Still, the steady growth of this company, the timing of security in China, the sub 1 Book value and 6/2 P/E tend to indicate this one is under valued. The cash flow is subpar and this one bears watching.
