ORLANDO, Fla., Nov. 21, 2006 (PRIMEZONE) -- RedChip Independent, a division of RedChip Companies, announced today that they have updated research on China BAK Battery Co., Ltd. (Nasdaq:CBAK).
Jin Xing, CFA Level I Candidate, RedChip Research Analyst, wrote in the report:
"CBAK is attractively valued compared to the industrial electrical equipment industry. It is currently trading at a P/E (ttm) of 17.34 times compared to the industry average P/E of 24.8 times. CBAK has a PEG ratio of 0.32 which remains fundamentally strong. The Company's EPS has been growing at an annual compounded rate of 36.6% on a fully-diluted basis between FY04 and FY06. Our projected EPS in FY07 is $0.74, representing a 57.9% increase from FY06. As CBAK continues to penetrate the OEM market and expand its production capacity, we believe that the Company will further improve its profit margin. With such strong growth potential, we conclude that CBAK's EPS will grow at an average rate of fifty percent over the next three years. We generate a target price of $14.50, which translates into 19.5 times FY07 projected earnings."
