On CAPS, 802 of the 822 members who have rated Jinpan -- 98% -- believe the stock will outperform the S&P 500 going forward. These bulls include Hozer02 and All-Star mrindependent, who is ranked in the top 2% of our community.
Last week, Hozer02 advised Fools to jump on Jinpan's recent drop: "Appears to be solid, established company … decent balance sheet … and poised to take advantage of infrastructure spending and growth in China. … I'll open a position on this recent dip due to earnings guidance reduced for the year."
In a pitch from two days ago, mrindependent offers even more Foolish guidance:
After its stock price was pummeled due to reduced guidance, Jinpan International is available for less than 10 times estimated earnings and less than 2 times book value. The company is a provider of cast resin transformers and voltage distribution equipment in China. It is a rapid growth company with a clean balance sheet. Profitability is consistent and returns on equity are usually in the 15 to 20% range. Seems like a deal.
