On CAPS, 98% of the 1,518 members who have rated Mindray believe the stock will outperform the S&P 500 going forward. These bulls include iddqkfyou and All-Star mrindependent, who is ranked in the top 2% of our community.

Earlier this year, iddqkfyou highlighted Mindray as a healthy opportunity: "I am going to hold my breath and not buy into the stereotype that everything made in China is bad. As the median age continues to increase, Chinese are going to have to spend their savings on something, and it is as likely to be medical care as education."

Fools remaindrawn to Mindray's low-cost position in China's ever-growing diagnostic device space. Over the next five years, Mindray is even expected to grow profits at a faster rate (21.8% per annum) than gorilla rivals General Electric (13.3%), Abbott (10.2%), and Baxter (10.1%), as well as other medical-device giants such as Medtronic (NYSE: MDT) (9.2%) and Johnson & Johnson (NYSE: JNJ) (6.2%). More importantly, Mindray's current valuation, as All-Star mrindependent explains, offers an inexpensive way to go for that growth:

After adjusting the share price downward to reflect the company's net cash position of $3.70 per share, I calculate that Mindray Medical is selling for about 14 times its forward eps. Considering this company's impressive operations history and outstanding growth prospects as a Chinese maker of medical devices, this seems like a deal. The auditor is Price Waterhouse Coopers -- so not much chance of fraud.
