October 11, 2008 - Mira, Portugal – SADIF Investment Analytics SA, today announced the release of a new equity research report covering China Mobile (941=HK). The report utilizes SADIF's powerful StockMarks™ stock rating system and is required reading for any current or potential China Mobile investor.
China Mobile is China's largest wireless carrier with over 425,000 subscribers. The company reported a 17.9% increase in operating revenue a 44.7% rise in profit attributable to shareholders during the first half of 2008 compared to the same period a year earlier. Despite these promising results, China Mobile suffered a sharp decline in its share price of more than 50% since the end of October 2007. The ongoing decline in the company's share price is fueled by a general downturn in the Chinese equity markets, the global financial crisis and uncertainty over the effects that new pro-competition restructuring of the telecommunications industry in China will have on the firm. However, in order to avoid idle speculation, we should look at the company's long-term fundamentals before making any investment decision. We can assess whether the drop in the company's share price is an accurate reflection of changes in the company's underlying fundamentals through the StockMarks framework. China Mobile currently has an overall long-term investment-attractiveness rating (Total StockMark or SMT) of 58, placing the company above the average of other Hong Kong-listed stocks. This rating ranks China Mobile fourth when compared to ten of its closest peers, selected on the basis of similarity of business and market positioning factors such as size.
The complete report breaks down the Total StockMark into its three components – Business, Management and Price, performing a thorough analysis of China Mobile for long-term investors.
