Neutral Tandem Inc. (TNDM) Thrives on Competition

QualityStocks (September 3rd, 2008) Writes:

The business model behind this stock defies conventional wisdom. Market shares and profits are supposed to be all about moats to keep competition at bay. This small-capital member of the Communication Services Industry from Chicago, IL thrives on alternate systems for cellular telephones. It will gain strength as consumers demand even better wireless-communication services.

Staying in touch means everything for us. A single number at which we can be reached at all times is invaluable. The same concept applies to being able to call anyone from everywhere. Service providers have their territories and systems. They compete with each other by making sure that our cellular telephones work wherever we may go. That is why the switching systems of this company make such sound business sense.

The company management has been agile in reflecting the social value of the business in quarterly results. Earnings per Share are at 0.42 and the stock price

The New World Business Paradigm of China BAK Battery Inc. (CBAK)

QualityStocks (August 27th, 2008) Writes:

This stock is an object lesson in a new way of doing business. It treats losses as investments. The company operates in China, though it is listed on NASDAQ. Do not heap scorn on the practice of accumulating losses for market share, because contrary to business management theory, it seems to work.

It may have something to do with the nature of the business of lithium-ion batteries. Look around and you will find that we all use them. Electronic devices cannot be portable without lithium-ion batteries. They power laptops, cellular telephones, and music players.

You might expect that something which is so ubiquitous in modern living would be produced in a market of nearly-perfect competition. The truth is that only a handful of Japanese and South Korean corporations have ever thought of producing these essential batteries.

This Chinese company seems to have figured out that lithium-ion battery production is ripe for

Eagle Test Systems Inc. (EGLT) Hovers Near its 52-Week High

QualityStocks (August 25th, 2008) Writes:

Consider this stock to start the last trading week of August 2008 on a winning note. The opening stock price is tantalizingly close to the 52-week high of $15. However, the Price to Earnings Ratio is just 16.12. The corporation serves the fast-track Semiconductors industry, so you can count on even better days ahead. The company has been in business since 1976, though shares have been listed on NASDAQ only of late. Stock investors will appreciate the management philosophy of building business value before approaching the market for funds.

It should come as no surprise that 86% of the nearly 23 million shares are held by top financial institutions. The management has an excellent track record. The Net Profit Margin, on a Trailing Twelve Months Basis, has been 17.56%. It appears that test equipment for semiconductor manufacturers is a great business idea. Not everyone knows how to validate small chips made
