how will you rate the stock - ytec?

Question

give me the best analysis of the stock and the best advice to buy or not to buy

Answer 1

Yucheng Technologies Limited, YTEC, has about 9.5 million shares selling for about $15.20-ish, and about a 55 cent earnings per share. It makes a profit, so chalk a point up for that.

It is definitely more affordable than Y (Alleghany), which sells at just shy of $400 a share. But Alleghany earns $35 bucks a share, and change. So, considering that the price per earnings for Y is 11.29 and YTEC is 27.75, if you track earnings as the primary point of value, then Y is miles better than YTEC.

Over most of the last year it was in the $7-9 range, but made an impressive jump to $18, then down to $15-ish and appears to be taking another run at the ceiling. The volume makes me doubt it will make a sustained upward run. It has had some good news, but a million here and a million there is not the stuff to sustain a $144 million market value.

I'm more interested in Y than YTEC, but I can see where it caught your attention. But if you were kicking yourself for not buying in September, don't, the market is full of flash in the pan, which is what I suspect this might be. Good luck.

Answer 2

10-25-2007: Has had good recent volume on up days and light volume on down days. 13.5 is a support level. Buy it as close to but above 13.5 as possible. If breaks below 13 sell.
Good luck.
