Chinese media is exploding. I like the fundamentals as well as the fact that this company practically has a monopoly on all major digital media space in China. The only conis the shady management and the opaque company reporting which always adds to your apprehension when looking at a foreign company like this.

With the upcoming olympics, FMCN is in the driver's seat to benefit from the flock of companies that will wanna increase their visibility during that time. They are the leader in their sector in China, where consumption is increasing thanks to ever growing middle class with good puchasing power. Good recent acquisitions. Good entry point after correction, the stock remained strong in Jan with high institutional ownership. reasonable P/E ratio and strong growth in fundamentals.

N/A

Looking for plays on a Chinese advertising market recovery?

Then today is your day.
