  • Close Enough To Touch

    By Reuben Brewer - May 10, 2013 | Tickers: AAPL, CHL, CHA

    Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) has been struggling to prove that it still has growth ahead of it. In order to put that question to rest, it either needs to bring out a new revolutionary product or find a new market with lots of customers. On the latter count, China is a market close enough to touch that Apple hasn't been able to fully tap yet.

  • Ways to Make Money From the World's Largest Cellular Market

    By Madhu Dube - April 5, 2013 | Tickers: CMGE, CHA, CHU

    According to Reuters, the Chinese mobile phone market has reached a massive 1.13 billion subscribers. A large number of new subscribers in February 2013 resulted in 1% increase in the total number of subscribers.

    Talking about 3G users in February, a total of 15.68 million net additions were recorded, taking the 3G user base to 262.84 million in the country. These figures led me to think that more »

    CES 2013 successfully ended on Jan. 11, 2013. This article will provide a snapshot of developing technology trends from CES to help investors research further into the technology sector for 2013.

    Qualcomm Inc.: Wireless and Mobile

    "Born Mobile" was the central theme for Qualcomm (NASDAQ: QCOM) this year. Qualcomm's CEO, Paul Jacobs, delivered the opening keynote to kick start CES 2013. The CES featured Qualcomm-powered Android phones with 5-inch more »

  • Apple: Is It Time To Celebrate in China Yet?

    By Subhadeep Ghose - January 10, 2013 | Tickers: AAPL, CMGE, CHA, CHU, NOK

    It’s something that has to happen one of these days. The only question is – how soon? With the competition breathing harder than ever down its neck, Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) just cannot afford a half-hearted scenario in China. After all, it’s tough to ignore a country that opens up massive growth possibilities for the future, on the basis of sheer numbers. And now, Cupertino’s future in the mobile more »

  • Chinese Domination: 5 Reasons the Dragon Will Breath Fire in the World Economy in 2013

    By Luke Pinkney - January 2, 2013 | Tickers: CAAS, CHA, JASO, PTR, PKX, TSL

    If someone were to survey a random sampling of the people closest to me, he might conclude that I am a die-hard cheerleader for Chinese investment.  I would argue, however, that this is not the case.  For if I am a cheerleader I am a poor one, at best, for I only cheer when the team is winning.  At worst, I will abandon the team when it becomes obvious to more »

  • Is the Time Ripe for China Mobile?

    By Daniel James - December 28, 2012 | Tickers: AAPL, CMGE, CHA, CHU

    The last few years have been pretty brutal for Chinese stocks, posting losses from 2009 to 2011. Partly, this is a result of slowing economic growth that has investors spooked about the health of the world’s second largest economy. However, some analysts maintain that the worst may be behind us for Chinese equities, as the macro economic data suggests that the Chinese economy may finally be recovering. However, as more »

  • Apple's Next Leg Up: China

    By Matthew Frankel - December 17, 2012 | Tickers: AAPL, CMGE, CHA, CHU, QCOM

    With the recent 27.7% decline of Apple’s (NASDAQ: AAPL) share price from the September highs of $705 to the current levels of $509.79 as of this writing, there is no shortage of reasons to dump the stock being broadcast constantly by the various news outlets.  I have heard reasons ranging from “Apple is out of ideas” and “there is no more room for growth,” to “sell before more »

  • 2 Companies Calling Growth Investors

    By Chad Henage - October 20, 2012 | Tickers: T, BRCM, CHA, QCOM

    It should come as no surprise that telecommunications companies could be good investments. When you consider the popularity of both smartphones and tablets, and the increased use of mobile data, it seems obvious that investors would want a piece of this growing pie. With this in mind, I went to the Fool.com CAPS Screener to try and come up with some new investing ideas. However, I wanted companies that not only played in the telecom. arena, but also companies with some consistency in their results. I ran a screen for companies that had both 10% revenue growth, and 20% EPS growth over the last three years. To make sure they would be well established and have the capital to expand, I also limited my search to large caps. This was a tough screen and only two companies made the cut: China Telecom Corp. (NYSE: CHA) and Qualcomm (NASDAQ: QCOM).

  • China Mobile: Ready for an Upsurge

    By Piyush Arora - October 1, 2012 | Tickers: CMGE, CHA, CHU

    China’s economy might be growing at a slower pace than before, but the growth expected is still 5% plus. It is due to these growth estimates that China is expected surpass US as the largest market for smartphones. The country is expected to see an increase of nearly 8% in the global market share of smart phone sales, by the end of the current fiscal year. This doesn’t more »

  • iPhone 5: How China’s Mobile Carriers Stack Up

    By Karen Rogers - September 6, 2012 | Tickers: AAPL, CMGE, CHA, CHU

    With preorders starting on September 15th and an anticipated release date of October 12th, Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) is looking for the iPhone 5 to jump-start its presence in the Chinese mobile telecom market.

    Apple’s iPhone success varies with each of China’s big three carriers.  China Mobile’s 3G network remains a major barrier to Apple as the iPhone isn’t compatible with this network.  China Unicom more »

  • The Coming 4G Revolution in China

    By Tony Daltorio - August 25, 2012 | Tickers: AAPL, CMGE, CHA, CHU, NOK

    When it comes to the global telecoms sector, the "holy grail" has to be the vast number of consumers in China. It will be important to the future of not only the Chinese telecommunications companies, but also to the future fortunes of Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) and Nokia ADR (NYSE: NOK) who are battling both Samsung and local rivals for the hearts of Chinese consumers.

  • Profit from This Rebound

    By Jonathan Yates - July 21, 2012 | Tickers: ALU, AAPL, CHA, S

    Like Sprint-Nextel (NYSE: S), Alcatel-Lucent (NYSE: ALU) is still working its way through a counterproductive merger.  Alcatel SA's $13 billion stock swap with Lucent Technologies in 2006 has not delivered as envisioned, much like Sprint's $35 billion purchase of Nextel in 2004.  At present, the market capitalization for Alcatel-Lucent is around $2.6 billion while Sprint-Nextel's is about $10.96 billion, not even close to the acquisition more »

  • Invest In This Chinese Telecom Giant

    By Soroush Pour - July 12, 2012 | Tickers: AAPL, CMGE, CHA, CHU

    With 660 million subscribers and counting, China Mobile (NYSE: CHL) is truly a telecom behemoth.  Officially the largest mobile phone provider in the world, shares of CHL have returned 13.4 percent year-to-date, outpacing both the telecom services industry and the broader market indices, most importantly the S&P 500 and the Shanghai Composite Index.  Despite reports of the Middle Kingdom’s slowing growth (as seen here), CHL has actually more »

  • Apple’s Fortunes Lie Behind the Great Wall: Part I

    By Soroush Pour - June 15, 2012 | Tickers: AAPL, CMGE, CHA, CHU, GOOG, HPQ

    Perhaps no market is as ripe for growth as China and its population of over 1.3 billion people.  Officially the 92nd richest country in the world in per capita terms, wealth has been growing at an annual rate of 10.3 percent over the past decade.  Millions of Chinese enter into the middle class each year, which has fueled domestic technology consumption at a massive rate.  In 2012 more »

  • An Attractively Valued Chinese Titan

    By Andrés Cardenal - May 31, 2012 | Tickers: AAPL, CMGE, CHA, CHU

    China Mobile (NYSE: CHL) is the leading telecom company in China with an estimated market share above 66% and more than 670 million subscribers. The telecom sector in China is plagued with regulatory challenges, but China Mobile is offering interesting growth prospects and an attractive entry point in terms of valuation and dividend yield.

  • Baidu: Is Now the Best Time to Get In?

    By Maxwell Fisher - April 26, 2012 | Tickers: BIDU, CMGE, CHA, GOOG, RENN

    Baidu (NASDAQ: BIDU), China's largest internet search engine, is often thought of as the East's version of Google (NASDAQ: GOOG). Fair or not, with this sort of analogy comes expectations. Baidu came through with an outstanding earnings report, but butting up against absurdly optimistic current and future expectations, Baidu stock was hammered.

    In its first quarter of 2012, Baidu posted earnings of $299 million $0.87 per share more »

  • China Mobile Has the Best Coverage, But Not a Great Buy

    By Meena Krishnamsetty - April 11, 2012 | Tickers: CMGE, CHA, CHU

    The European economy has been weak after the sovereign debt crisis last year, while emerging markets such as Asia and Latin America remain strong. One of the fastest growing countries is China and an increasing number of investors are investing their money in this promising market. One way to do this is by investing in American Depository Receipts (ADRs).

  • Should Apple Fear a Smartphone Subsidy Revolt?

    By Chris Moore - April 11, 2012 | Tickers: AAPL, T, CHA, CHU, GOOG, NOK, S | Editor's Choice

    Earlier this week Walter Piecyk of BTIG Research made headlines by cutting his rating on Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) from “buy” to “neutral.” The call attracted lots of attention being one of the only negative calls on Apple. Last week an analyst gave Apple a $1,001 price target; this week Piecyk is forecasting a revenue miss driven by a subsidy revolt, which is a bold call indeed. His reasoning is more »

  • NOKIA CALLING, LEAVE A MESSAGE AT THE TONE.......

    By Michael Mistaleski - April 4, 2012 | Tickers: AAPL, T, CHA, MSFT, NOK

    I had to take a calculated gamble and purchase Nokia (NYSE: NOK) recently. It was beaten down so far from the point I began following it that it became worth the risk. Granted taking on Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) in two of the worlds largest mobile markets (U.S. and China) will be a major task. With a decreasing global smartphone market share of about 12% and falling and three straight more »
