Over on CAPS, 2,361 of the 2,434 members who have rated Tata -- or 97% -- believe the stock will outperform the S&P 500 going forward. These bulls include TSIF and CAPS All-Star Matt8265, who is ranked in the top 10% of our community.

Last month, TSIF backed Tata: "Lower cost to produce in India, lower material cost. Working in the fastest growing market for cars and trucks. Getting innovative. … Overall, big enough, well managed and supported by founders."

In a pitch from five days earlier, Matt8265 tapped the company as a terrific growth and dividend play:

India is the fastest growing democratic society on the face of the earth with Tata motors taking 20% of the entire auto market in < 7 years. Unlike the USA, less than 7% of India's households have cars with [tons] of market opportunity. … The Tata family is of the highest integrity. The stock price is off 75% from a year ago. Their cash to debt position is one of the best in the industry. Nano is and will be a world wide HIT with ABS-Electric and Airbag models on the design board. Jag sales have held up very well. The nano will be in production in < 2 months... and the kicker? ... a 9.8% dividend.

Mr. R. Tata is … brilliant and will be known as the Henry Ford of the developing world.
