I have complete faith that XIN is doing everything they can for their shareholders. I think in the next few months we're going to see some serious price appreciation.
XIN - I've been in this name for awhile now and have followed the company very closely. The stock price was once over $15 a share and I see no reason it can't get back there one day. The company is much better now than it was back in 2007 at that price.
Catalysts -
1) Any earnings report. The earnings have consistantly been strong.
2) Any institutional money. The float is so low someone can gobble up shares in a hurry and push the price up.
3) Buyback is currently in place.
4) The company now pays a dividend and once it gets over $5.00 all the dividend mutual funds will want in.
Buy and hold. This is the best company in the china space.
LPH - I just got out. In reading the annual report I came across the details of the CEO and CFO pay. CEO is considered a "consultant" and his pay is significantly less than any CEO I've ever met from a company this size. I'm sure he's a nice guy but he's either a terrible negotiator and seriously underpaid or something is wrong here.
XIN dividend announced again today. 5.8% at today's stock price.
YONG is still trading at a 15% discount to the offer price. I'm buying more shares since I'd imagine the chairman would have gotten Morgan Stanley invovled in this somehow. This deal will go through IMO.
LPH is going to blow...fast! No long term holder is planning on selling anytime soon IMO so the float is pretty tight. Just one good sized buyer and we just may hit $3.00!
XIN - I actually love both deals. The building in Williamsburg is going to be marketed to Chinese looking for homes in New York and should sell out very quickly. Just about every new build piece of property in NY is scooped up by investors. The Williamsburg deal is also good for the profile of the company to the investment community. It gives the company a large US asset.
The second deal in Beijing seems to be a no brainer. 8% is already sold to the government! They're going to be builder smaller apartments and targeting younger first time home buyers outside the city. Think living on Long Island or New Jersey and commuting to NYC. Everyone does it because it's less expensive!
Well played XIN.
Perfect Monday morning footage!
XIN - huge news!
XIN - Major Development! The company is now an international builder with US assets. This should remove any doubt of "chinese equity fraud" IMO. And if you haven't seen what's going on in Wiliamsburg, Brooklyn, NYC..take notice. XIN is still the single BEST chinese stock to own IMO.
BEIJING, Sept. 28, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Xinyuan Real Estate Co., Ltd. ("Xinyuan") (XIN), a residential real estate developer with a focus on high growth, strategic cities in China, today announced that its U.S. development arm, XIN Development Group International, Inc. ("XIN" and collectively with Xinyuan, the "Company") has acquired a parcel of land, located at Kent Avenue and South 8th Street, in the Williamsburg neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York. XIN purchased the Williamsburg development site for US$54.2 million.
The property offers a total site area of approximately 92,000 square feet (8,547 square meters), and already has approximately US$8 million of permitting, zoning and foundation construction completed. Located in the trendy Williamsburg area, the site will accommodate approximately 506,000 square feet (47,194 square meters) gross buildable residential condominium development. The project is shovel-ready, and with some design modifications, XIN expects to begin construction in the first half of 2013.
Williamsburg is one of the most popular neighborhoods in New York for singles and new families because of the expanding high-quality housing, restaurants and night life, Waterfront Park, and in close proximity to Manhattan. The site has views of downtown Manhattan and is a short distance from the Wall Street financial district. The acquisition represents XIN's first major U.S. residential development project, and its third investment in the United States.
"With this pioneering acquisition in one of the most competitive and attractive markets globally, New York City, we have entered the U.S. residential real estate development market. The location is very popular with U.S. domestic purchasers, and New York is a top destination for purchasers from China," said Mr. Yong Zhang, Xinyuan's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.
"The Williamsburg project will offer a quality residential condominium development to more than 200 New York families, as well as allow us to capture a large demand from China for quality residential product in the United States," added Mr. Zhang.
Buyers from China and Hong Kong accounted for $9 billion of U.S. residential sales in the 12 months ended March 2012, up significantly from 2010, making them the second largest group of foreign buyers of homes in the U.S. behind Canadians, according to data released earlier this year by the National Association of Realtors.
"I want to commend our New York team for acquiring a quality site at a favorable price. We believe this will be attractive to both U.S. and Chinese purchasers alike, and we are pioneering in systematically capturing this attractive market opportunity," said Mr. Zhang.
LPH is a buy, plain and simple. Closing the deal, while it took longer than we would have liked, shows that management delivered on their promise and didn't dilute shareholders.
$1.68 on the premarket is nice but the company has a book value of $3.31. Let's not forget that they just bought a $110 million facility and at a stock price of $1.68, have a market cap of just $169 million. They just doubled capacity. They still have plenty of cash on the books and no debt. They're generating millions in cash flow every quarter. Now that we can trust management is it possible a dividend is coming soon?
I'm buying more.
XIN - still the best company in the entire space in my opinion. Dividend at 6.1% at today's stock price. Big time cash on the books. Last quarter the company purchased their first plots of land in the US.
What I really like about XIN is their transparency. When asked on the earnings call about their filings in the US and China the answer was very detailed. I'd say very little fraud risk here considering their buybacks, dividends, and the fact that they IPO'd rather than reverse merger.
I would not want to be short this stock. EPS of $0.36 last quarter with margin expansion. DHRM keeps putting out good news and their products are gaining serious traction. See below:
In April 2012, Dehaier renewed its strategic cooperation agreement with Timesco of London Ltd ("Timesco"). The agreement appointed Dehaier as the exclusive distributor for Timesco's CXL and Eclipse series laryngoscope products in mainland China for three years.
In May 2012, the Company extended its exclusive distribution authorization with INTERMEDICAL ("IMD"), to distribute IMD's RADIUS C-arm X-ray machines in mainland China. The extended term runs through 2014.
In June 2012, Dehaier entered a three-year strategic mutual cooperation agreement with HEYER Medical AG ("Heyer"). According to this agreement, Dehaier will continue to be one of the key Chinese distributors for Heyer's anesthesia machines and the exclusive distributor of its nebulizers in China.
Also in June 2012, the Company co-developed a "High-Efficiency Oxygen Inhaler" with Dr. Ding Jianzhang of Beijing Haidian Hospital. This inhaler is expected to begin selling in mainland China in the third quarter of 2012. The portable device is designed for use in homecare oxygen therapy, emergency treatment, disaster relief activities and high-altitude settings.
Between April and June 2012, the company obtained software copyrights from China's National Copyright Administration for four of its proprietary technologies, including (1) Analysis and Monitoring Software of Adsorption Tower Oxygen Generation Process, (2) Dehaier Homecare CPAP Controlling Software, (3) Ventilator of CPAP Controlling Software and (4) Air Compressor Controlling Software. These copyrights have been approved for 50 years from the grant date.
In July 2012, Dehaier received approval from China's State Food and Drug Administration ("SFDA") for its proprietary homecare medical CPAP device, the DHR-CPAP-C5.
CBP - Third quarter earnings announced today. Sales up 21.8% y/o/y. EPS for the first three quarters of $0.63 p/share. $41.3 million in cash.
Share price is currently $0.57 and the company has a market cap of $21.3 million.
I've never seen anyone raise questions as to the accuracy of the companies numbers or its products. Considering they count the chinese government (army) as one of their customers, I'll be buying up shares this morning.
I agree. Earnings today to be the final catalyst. LPH is ready to takeoff.
This is definitely a positive move. I like the decision.
EGI - something is up here. I'm guessing some new may have leaked early.

That is correct. But in my opinion, after management stated on the earnings call they would resume the buyback as soon as legally allowed, they're doing just that.
They already executed a $10 million buyback earlier this year. Now they're in the midst of another $20 million. Plenty of cash in the bank to make it happen without breaking a sweat.
XIN - by my count I believe the company has bought about 195,000 more shares today. That makes two straight days of heavy buying. This buyback is in full effect!

XIN - big buyer steps in anytime this hits $3.00 or below. Seems like a floor is in.
XIN - making moves today. Looks like someone may have picked up 41,000 shares (about $120,000). I think it's either the buyback kicking in or institutions are getting on board.
XIN - keeps moving north. Buyback may be kicking in slowly but still a long way to go for the company to spend the $9.5 million remaining!
Agreed. Nice to see expenses down as well.
I owned TPI back in 2009-2011. They canceled the dividend because they felt the money was better used to expand production.
XIN- starting to get some love. Volume up over the last two days and buyback should be kicking in anytime.
XIN - are you paying attention! The company is trying to buy back shares but no one wants to part with theirs! Incredibly tight float here! Buy em' if you can.....
XIN - buyback kicking in? Baby's gonna fly......
XIN- Buyback kicks back in tomorrow. Could this be the last day to buy before it flies?
I believe XIN is going pull off a great move for current shareholders with this buyback. in my opinion, they're going to buy back these shares ASAP, run the price up, and then they're going to issue shares after the road show in private placements raising a large amount of money that will lead to acquisitions of smaller companies and large land parcels.
But that's just what I think....
What I really like is that XIN bought some US assets. To me that alone takes the fraud risk away. And that "minor" dividend is an annual 5.5% at today's $2.90 share price.
The SAIC/SEC filings were discussed at length on the conference call and I was more than satisfied with management's answer.
As for earnings, while they MAY decline a little next year, EPS will likely rise due to the stock buyback. Let's also not forget the companies current valuation which is less than half the cash on the balance sheet after debt along with all of the real estate assets.
What other chinese companies are heading out on roadshows in the fall to convince the investment community that their company is fantastic? These guys believe it.
Before the market tanked in 2008, XIN was a $15.00 stock when the company was half the size with half the assets. It will get back there IMO.
Best trade of the week; XIN.
Buyback resumes this Wednesday and it's a big one. $19.5 milliion or so remaining. In perspective at today's price, that's 6.7 million shares which is equivalent to about 26x the average daily volume and almost 80% of the float!!!!!!! Management said on the conference call they will be buying shares immediately.
XIN is a $4.00 in a week IMO.
Smart move there and a trend I think we'll continue to see.
As for the guy who wasn't elected to the board, sounds like he's just a little sour. He didn't get re-elected so he tendered his resignation early. Why should he have been re-elected? He wasn't even at the meeting!?!
I don't know....I didn't see a pump anywhere.
Maybe not...but when a Nasdaq traded stock rises 32% on 10x normal volume and no news I do tend to take notice. Just saying it's interesting...
CJJD - interesting action today. A lot of buying. Does someone know something?
XIN also has about $19.5 million left in the buyback plan which WILL resume next week. They said so on the call and have proven they're using it. At $3.00 a share that translates into 6.5 million shares or about 38% of the float.
Pop comes next Wednesday/Thursday.
XIN just broke $3.00. Guess I'm not the only one who liked what they heard/saw.
Well slower growth isn't a positive but the conference call was extremely informative and the question and answer session felt very personal. I felt he had some passion behind the company and didn't want to hold back anything.
I believe he'll do an excellent job of selling this company to the investing community during the road show. Let's not forget the stock is tremendously undervalued.
