On CAPS, 96% of the 4,316 members who have rated Ctrip believe the stock will outperform the S&P 500 going forward. These bulls include sirishkr and robotbugs.

Just last month, sirihkr tapped Ctrip as a great way to go for growth: "Leading online travel reservation agency for China. international travelers to China, and foreigners of Chinese origin, will increasingly be using [Ctrip]. Market will expand significantly and [Ctrip] is likely to lead or become an acquisition target."

Ctrip's position as the dominant online travel portal in China continues to drive our community's fondness for the stock. While competition has certainly been increasing, Ctrip's sales are still about six times that of its closest rival, eLong (majority owned by Expedia). More importantly, Ctrip's consistent 20%-plus returns on equity also dwarf eLong's.

Of course, at a forward P/E of 34, Ctrip doesn't exactly seem cheap. But if the growth winds working for Ctrip are as strong as CAPS member robotbugs believes they are, the stock could be offering some pretty decent value:

CTrip.com is the upcoming [Expedia] of China. As China's economy improves and its middle class swells more people will be booking travel and they are going to be doing it online. This industry is still small in China, and despite their current economic slowdown, their future looks promising.
