ChinaSecurities.com Small-Cap Company Feature: Nutrastar International Inc.

Posted by AGORACOM Admin at 8:17 AM on Wednesday, March 28th, 2012

As many of you know, we are very bullish on the long-term future of Chinese small cap and mid cap companies for two reasons:

1] The obvious reason – China is the fastest growing economy on the planet and nothing is going to slow down its ascent over the next 50 years and beyond. Investing in growth companies there just makes too much sense.

2] Great Results and Valuations - Despite some real problems in the Chinese small-cap space, we continue to believe that too many companies have suffered from “babies being thrown out with the bathwater” syndrome.  Investors have to remain patient and wait for the smoke to clear – but when it does we see a great opportunity to profit from the real companies that have been left standing.  As such, we’re going to continue reporting and remaining patient.

Orsu Metals Knocks on China’s Door: Develops Copper-Gold Projects in Central Asia via Prospecting Journal

Posted by AGORACOM Admin at 12:51 PM on Thursday, March 22nd, 2012

NALYSISProspectingJournal.com—In the race for precious and base metals, miners are drawn to the riches of Central Asia. The region’s proximity to China, now the world’s largest copper and gold consumer is an exciting investment opportunity for companies looking to create substantial returns.

Orsu Metals (OSU-TSX.V) is one of the best prospects in the region. The London-based company is developing advanced staged gold deposits in the Tien Shan gold belt in the Kyrgyz Republic, one of the largest and most prolific gold belts in the world, and the Rudny Altai copper belt in the Republic of Kazakhstan. Orsu was formed in June 2008 after the acquisition of Lero Gold Corp. by European Minerals Corporation.

Karchiga Project

Orsu Metals [OSU – TSX.V] is bringing investor interest to the region, with the latest focus on the DFS on its Karchiga VMS Copper Project in Kazakhstan.

Lying in Kazakhstan’s renowned Rudny Altai copper belt, the Karchiga Project is on its way to becoming an open-pit mine. The positive DFS, used to determine the viability of mining at the project, highlights a considerable mineral reserve in two open pits. The Probable Mineral Reserve estimate is 8.5 million tonnes of sulphide ore in the Central and North East pits, containing 145,227 tonnes of copper at an average grade of 1.71%. As well, there is an additional 1.5 million tonnes of ore in the Central pit containing 21,339 tonnes of copper at an average grade of 1.43%. Overall this reserve estimate is worth more than $600 million at current spot prices.

The cost of the mine is offset by production as profit is expected shortly after the initial capital expenditure. With an initial CAPEX of US$115 million and a payback period of only 2.75 years, the mine will operate for 11.5 years with an estimated total CAPEX of US$147 million. Thus the average mining cost over the 11.5 years of mine life is $1.70 per tonne of material moved.

Cheap China Stocks – China Botanic Pharmaceutical Trading At 1.2X EPS

Posted by AGORACOM at 9:54 AM on Monday, March 19th, 2012

The problems with some Chinese Reverse Merger companies are well documented …. but if there was ever an example of babies being thrown out with the bathwater, it is the valuation hits being taken by all Chinese small-caps across the board.   There is no doubt that investors are going to have to be vigilant about any investments made in the space … but one can’t ignore the fact that some incredible opportunities are now presenting themselves as well.

CHINA 2.0

Borrowing from the concept of Web 2.0, in which we saw the implosion of the dot-com bubble, followed by the resurgence of “real” dot-coms and massive subsequent share gains, I fully expect to see the same thing happen with Chinese small-cap stocks.  Specifically, we’re going through the implosion of China 1.0 small-cap stocks right now, thanks in large part to reverse merger frauds.  This won’t last forever.  Eventually – and we are well on our way there –  the scam companies will be discovered and dismissed.

When the dust settles, we are going to find two kinds of companies.  First, existing “real” companies trading at ridiculously cheap valuations.  I see massive gains being made in these companies over the next 24 months (think Aamzon and eBay).  Second, we are going to see new “real” companies starting to list on American Exchanges with great fundamentals and fast growth stories (think Google and LinkedIn).

Investors that keep their eyes and due diligence open today stand to potentially make Web 2.0 style gains in the coming years from cheap Chinese small cap stocks.

Below are just a few I’ve discovered over the past year … and I’m going to keep a rolling list going forward. Today’s new addition is China Botanic Pharmaceuticals (see my notes below)

If you wish to see original entries for each of these companies, just click on my Cheap China Small Cap Stocks category to see each entry and accompanying notes.  Moreover, I have covered these companies on Chinese Small-Cap TV (Today’s Show) (Archives).

CONCLUSION

Babies are being thrown out with the bathwater in the Chinese Small-Cap Space. I don’t see any need to rush into them as I expect this period of lost confidence to extend into the late summer at the very least. On the other hand, I see plenty of reason to begin building positions in these and other candidates over the next few months for long-term holds.

 

COMPANY Q EPS EPS (EXTRAPOLATED) PRICE P/E
China ACM (CADC) $0.19  May 13 $0.76 $2.34 3.1
US China Mining (SGZH) $0.22  May 16 $0.88 $4.00 4.5
China Industrial Waste (CIWT) $0.08 May 16 $0.32 $1.08 3.4
China Green Material (CAGM) $0.04 May 16 $0.16 $0.66 4.0
China BCT Pharmacy (CNBI) $0.16 May 16 $0.64 $2.40 3.8
Nutrastar Int’l (NUIN) $0.18 May 16 $0.72 $3.00 4.2
China TMK Battery (DFEL) $0.09 May 17 $0.36 $0.55 1.5
HQ Global Education Inc. $0.15 July 15 $0.60 $0.36 0.6
China Botanic Pharma. $0.33 Mar 19 $0.88 guidance $0.75 1.2

 

You will note I have a column for “extrapolated” EPS over the entire year. This assumes these companies will continue to generate EPS at the pace on the day we covered them. Yes, this is a major assumption … but it also assumes these companies won’t be increasing EPS over the current fiscal year as well.   That’s  a pretty big trade off considering they are more likely to grow EPS than remain stagnant or even drop.

With those assumptions out of the way, the prevailing theme seems to be P/E multiples of ~ 3.5X. That is damn cheap for any company, let alone companies that are growing their top and bottom lines by 40, 50, 60, even 100%.

In the case of of China Botanic Pharmaceutical, the company has actually provided earnings guidance of ~ $33,000,000 for 2012.  That translates into about $0.88 EPS for fiscal 2012.  At a current price of just $0.75 the company is trading at 1.2 X EPS.   That is not a typo …. 1.2

CHINA BOTANIC PHARMACEUTICAL NOTES

The company released their Q1 numbers for the period ended January 31, 2012.  Here are the highlights:

First Quarter 2012 Highlights

  • Net sales increased 24.4% year over year to $28.1 million
  • Gross profit increased 25.4% to $17.3 million from $13.8 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2011
  • Gross margin increased to 61.6% from 61.1% in the year ago period
  • Net income rose 12.4% to $12.3 million, or $0.33 per diluted share, from $10.9 million, or $0.29 per diluted share, in the first quarter of fiscal 2011

At a market cap of just $28,000,000 as of Friday, the company is ridiculously cheap by ever metric.  For example, it is essentially trading at 1X revenue after just the first quarter of revenue.  Add that to 1.2X EPS at this point and CBP is super cheap.

Financial Condition

As of January 31, 2012, China Botanic had cash of approximately $21.4 million and total current assets of approximately $70.6 million. The Company had working capital of approximately $56.9 million on January 31, 2012, as compared to $40.8 million at the fiscal year end of October 31, 2011.

If the company has $21.4 million in cash on hand, you are buying the actual business for just $7,000,000 ($28M market cap – $21M cash)., which makes the revenue multiple and EPS multiples above so cheap it is almost embarrassing.

Business Outlook

For fiscal year 2012, China Botanic reaffirms its guidance of revenues of between $91.6 million and $93.1 million, representing an increase of 26% to 28% over fiscal year 2011 revenue of $72.7 million. Revenue growth is expected to be driven largely by sales volume increases from the existing product portfolio. The Company expects net income to be in the range of $32.7 million to $33.2 million

Not only are you buying the current company at embarrassingly cheap multiples, you are also buying its growth for even less.

CONCLUSION

Unless China Botanic Pharmaceutical is about to be shut down as a major reverse merger fraud scam, investors stand to make a lot of money from any investment in it.

* I have no share position or affiliation with the company.  I would really like to change that on both fronts over the coming weeks and months.

George

ChinaSecurities.com Small-Cap Company Feature: China Medical Technologies, Inc.

Posted by AGORACOM Admin at 9:30 AM on Friday, November 18th, 2011

As many of you know, we are very bullish on the long-term future of Chinese small cap and mid cap companies for two reasons:

1] The obvious reason – China is the fastest growing economy on the planet and nothing is going to slow down its ascent over the next 50 years and beyond. Investing in growth companies there just makes too much sense.

2] Great Results and Valuations - Despite some real problems in the Chinese small-cap space, we continue to believe that too many companies have suffered from “babies being thrown out with the bathwater” syndrome.  Investors have to remain patient and wait for the smoke to clear – but when it does we see a great opportunity to profit from the real companies that have been left standing.  As such, we’re going to continue reporting and remaining patient.
