(CHL, rated BUY) We maintain our Buy recommendation with a higher valuation target for China Mobile (CHL), the largest mobile service provider of the world according to subscriber count, following its first quarter 2008 financial results, in line with our expectations. Successful expansion initiatives in rural regions of China, along with effective network optimization strategies and the introduction of customized mobile value-added services for different market segments, were enabling factors during the reporting period. China Mobile currently commands 69% share of the total Chinese wireless market. Given the low level of mobile penetration in this region, significant opportunities remain for the company. However, the proposed restructuring of the Chinese wireless market by regulatory authorities, lingering delays of commercial TD-SCDMA (3G) networks, and recent recessionary expectations throughout the world may inject transient business fluctuations for carriers in this part of the world. by Zacks significant opportunities remain for the company. http://astuk-virtuallystocks.blogspot.com/ SocialPicks Tuesday, April 22, 2008 11:04 AM Media Digest for 4/22 Submitted By Optiondragon [More...] home: iStockAnalyst....

In his Asia Stock Alert newsletter, he notes, "I believe the chief beneficiaries of the Olympic Games will be consumer and travel-related stocks. And within these sectors, I've chosen six stocks poised to bring home Olympic gold from Beijing." "We saw a 19% gain in the Spanish stock market in the 12 months before the 1992 Barcelona Olympics, and the 27% gain in the Greek stock market in the year before the 2004 Athens Olympics. And those countries were not growing at a fraction of the breakneck pace that China is. So it wouldn't surprise me to see the Chinese stock market do even better.

In China, the cell phone 'is' the personal computer. "Heck, most new high-rise condominium and apartment complexes being built in China aren't even wired for land lines. Once you understand the device's role, you'll see why China Mobile has more cell phone users (360 million) than the U.S. has people.

Olympic Gold Winner #2: Focus Media (quote.htm?sym=fmcn) ( NASDAQ: FMCN (quote.htm?sym=fmcn)): "China is booming but most Chinese still can't afford TVs, personal computers, or cars. Because of that, the only way for companies to reach those consumers is through billboards and video monitors strategically placed in heavily traveled areas like elevators, train stations, and bus stops. "Focus Media is the dominant advertising firm in China. So every company that wants to reach people attending or watching the Beijing Olympics will be spending millions on Focus Media ads.Olympic Gold Winner #3: Home Inns (quote.htm?sym=hmin) ( NASDAQ: HMIN (quote.htm?sym=hmin)): "While most affluent foreigners will stay in fancy western hotel chains, the more budget conscious travelers — like me — will be checking into one of these spotlessly clean, bargain-priced rooms at the fastest-growing hotel chain in China."At less than $40 a night, Home Inns was running at a 90%-plus occupancy rate, but they are already sold out for the Olympics at triple the price. The company's tremendous value proposition will make it a big, big winner for many years after the Olympics.Olympic Gold Winner #4: CTrip.com (quote.htm?sym=ctrp) ( NASDAQ: CTRP (quote.htm?sym=ctrp)): "CTrip is China's largest travel agency and odds are good that it will be handling the hotel and airline reservations for many Chinese travelers. "In fact, business is already skyrocketing ... and the Olympics are six months away. CTrip recently reported its quarterly results and they were spectacular: A 52% increase in revenues and a 58% increase in profits. That's an amazing growth rate and yet CTrip only sells for 33 times earnings.Olympic Gold Winner #5: Yum Brands (quote.htm?sym=yum) ( NYSE: YUM (quote.htm?sym=yum)): "Hungry visitors are going to swarm Yum's restaurants during the Summer Games. Heck, I always utter a huge sigh of relief whenever I see the unmistakable logo of the 2,000 KFC and Pizza Huts peppered around China. "I bet those stores will be packed morning, noon, and night during the Olympics. You better believe that Yum Brands will be making some very big profits during the Summer Games.Olympic Gold Winner #6: New Oriental Education (quote.htm?sym=edu) ( NYSE: EDU (quote.htm?sym=edu)): "Beijing is going to be flooded with foreign visitors and very few of them will speak Mandarin. That's why any Chinese worker with even basic English skills is going to be in very high demand ... and very well paid."That opportunity isn't lost on the Chinese and they are signing up in droves for basic English classes at New Oriental. And while the payoff at the Olympics may be immediate, the long-term payoff for acquiring English skills is to the moon. That means plenty of future business for EDU."Overall, the pullback in Chinese shares is opening up a great opportunity. I am not suggesting that you rush out and buy all of these stocks today. As always, you should do your own research. "And while weakness could continue in the short term, it is also creating what looks like a great long-term opportunity. China's economy may be the most powerful in history. Adding in the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing, and the country's stock market could explode with potential." TheStockAdvisors.com Thursday, March 27, 2008 06:24 AM China Mobile - The Ultimate Large Cap Growth Stock (CHL, rated BUY) Overview: China Mobile (CHL) is the largest wirless service provider in China. In April 2006, "China Mobile" ranked number 4 in the "BRANDZTM Top 100 Most Powerful Brands" announced in The Financial Times by Millward Brown, a global market research firm and, in August 2006, it ranked number 1 in the "20 Best Chinese Brands" jointly announced by Interbrand and BusinessWeek.China Mobile have 60% market share in their business in China and they are growing at a rapid pace. CHL is a large cap company trading in Hong Kong and New York. The market cap of China Mobile is 271 billion US dollar as of Mar 2008. (This size of Miscrosoft is about 271 billion US) In 2007 China Mobile (CHL) bring in 68 million customers (that's almost twice the size of the population in Canada). At the end of 2007 China Mobile has 384 million subscribers. Profitability: While China Mobile is doing a great job bring in customers to their business, it's not a good business if they can't make a profit with them. And here is the profits they make in the last 7 years: 2000 EPS 1.25 RMB 2001 EPS 1.51 RMB (21% growth) 2002 EPS 1.71 RMB (17% growth) 2003 EPS 1.81 RMB (6.5% growth) 2004 EPS 2.14 RMB (18.2% growth) 2005 EPS 2.71 RMB (27.8% growth) 2006 EPS 3.32 RMB (22.5% growth) 2007 EPS 4.35 RMB (31% growth) It is reasonable to expect China mobile to grow its earnings at 15% to 20% pace in the next 3-5 years. The population of China is 1300 million right now and if every one of those people owns a mobile phone in 3 to 5 years atime and China mobile have a 50% share of the markets, China mobile will have 650 million subscribers in 3-5 years. China mobile can easily achieved this goal by growing their subscriber at 20% pace in the next 3-5 years. Management: The management of China Mobile have a commitment to the interest of shareholders and they are doing sensible things with their fortunes. Apart from the necessary investments in growing their business in China, they are committed to use their cash to pay off debts and return excess cash to shareholders as dividends. 2007 2006 2005 2004 2003 EPS 4.35 3.32 2.71 2.14 1.81 Dividend 1.95 1.55 1.02 0.66 0.36 Payout ratio 45% 46.69% 37.64% 30.84%19.89% Credit Rating of China Mobile By S&P 2002 BBB 2003 BBB 2004 BBB 2005 BBB+ 2006 A- 2007 A (10% long term debt to equity ratio) Investment thesis: 1. Strong brand & market share in China: Mobile services business in China is a oilygopoly and any foreign firms are shut out of that market. China mobile has 60% market share right now.
