Over on CAPS, fully 336 of 343 of the All-Star members who have rated Huaneng Power -- about 98% -- believe the stock will outperform the S&P 500. These All-Star bulls include EMG114 and Terok1313, who are ranked in the top 5% of our community.

In May 2008, EMG114 wrote that Huaneng is "China's largest power producer by capacity. Recently, it agreed to buy Tuas Power Ltd. for about $3 billion to expand into Singapore, which could also promise to be a big market."

In a pitch just a few days earlier, Terok1313 shared that bullish attitude, highlighting Huaneng as a Chinese power play:

There's no question that China is developing quickly or that the development will continue for many years to come, and many stocks will bubble up and burst along the way. Is Baidu really the next Google? I don't know. Will Ctrip.com teach a vast new middle-class how to vacation? Ya got me. ... But one thing I will guarantee... the world will still need ways of generating and distributing electricity in five years, and China in particular is going to need a lot more of it than it has now.
