On CAPS, 97% of the 670 members who have rated Xinyuan believe the stock will outperform the S&P 500 going forward. These bulls include beststockpikker and valuehunter007.
Just last month, beststockpikker tapped Xinyuan as an overlooked bargain opportunity: "Extremely oversold. Balance sheet and fundamentals continue to improve, but hasn't been noticed yet. It will."
In fact, Xinyuan currently sports a particularly paltry price-to-book of 0.3. That represents a clear discount to U.S. counterparts like D.R. Horton
CAPS member valuehunter007 expands on the outperform argument:
Growth play. There is lot of cloud surrounding China Real Estate boom and government's plan to slow the growth. On the long run, this company is better placed for growth than many others in China Real Estate. ... Negatives seem to have been already reflected. Their target market is more of second tier but fast growing chinese towns.
