$CAAS A little CAAS history lesson for the weekend. On May 23, 2017, CAAS closed at $4.38, exactly where it trades today. At the time, management offered to take CAAS private for $5.85 per share. That offer was withdrawn in August 2018 after the Trump administration imposed heavy tariffs on imported auto parts, which results in a lawsuit. Since May 2017: • Cash per share has increased by 480% • Tangible book value has increased by 40% • Net income has increased by 110% • Revenue has increased by 70% (after a big drop in 2019-2020 because of tariffs/covid) • The share count has fallen by 2 million shares • Insider ownership has risen slightly to 58% I have no idea on the times of the next take-private offer (or large dividend) but it sure better be FAR, FAR higher than $5.85 based on all of this. It is going to be very hard for them to jusifty anthing under $8-10 given growth and books.

$CAAS For those watching the bigger picture the measured move on the break of this triangle is ridiculous. One of these day (years). I just started rebuilding my position in the very low 4s six months ago so have not been waiting that long but sure feel like it.

$CAAS Fun stat. Over the last two years we have spent 95% of the time in a 0.50 range. Basically we have all been watching paint dry. Market cap is currently $133 million. So while the paint had been drying, during this period CAAS has added ~80 million in net assets (over $100 million in cash) and now sitting on well over $13 per share in tangible assets. Tick tock, tick tock.

$CAAS You just know that one day we are going to wake up and see this hockey-stick to $9+ out of nowhere, with people chasing it on massive volume. The only question is whether that happens next week or a year from now. Nothing works better than sideways action to bore existing holders into selling. Since I have no real clue on the timing of a major special dividend, buyout, or merger that could trigger the move, I just wait and keep adding on weakness. The China auto industry has had a brutal last six months, so CAAS will likely put up weaker numbers for the past couple of quarters. Even then, the earnings and book value are still be better than 99%+ of stocks in the market. Bids in place.

$CAAS They have basically telegraphed their intentions. This was said last August: "And our other shareholder reward program, whether it's dividend or share buyback will continue." This was said in April this year: "In terms of share buyback, we definitely are considering, previously, we do have a buyback plan in place due to the redomicile to the Cayman Island process, we have to meet a lot of compliance. So we put that buyback plan on hold. Now with that procedure completed, me and the CFO definitely will recommend to the Board and to reinitiate share buyback program. We'll make a -- do announcement when that's in progress. [Foreign Language] [Interpreted] As far as dividend, we don't have a plan at the moment, but we're going to make -- also make a suggestion to the Board of Directors." Similar thing happened with $GRVY. Management basically said they are considering capital returns, and now stock is shooting up when they announced it lol. So much for market efficiency.

$CAAS This stock really is a mystery to me. Has traded at mean of 5x EV/EBITDA the past decade + with basically no capital returns and inferior economics. Now there is a clear inflection point in profitability + twice stated that capital returns will happen and it sits comfortably at 1.4x EV/EBITDA. It will be very interesting to watch what will be announced soon. If the stock does gap up on a sizable dividend it will be another one of those case studies how the market is far from efficient. But right now it appears so inefficient that Im starting to think Im missing something here.

$CAAS Aldoleka good point, this stock is trading like junk but doing business with biggest car producers and it has huge revenue and profit growth with cash per share greater then the price per share. It deserves at least $CYD valuation, so it could be easily trading at high $20 or low $30. Technicaly it is poised for a monster break out and it will explode up sooner than latter. Some big china stocks like $BABA and $BIDU or $NTES are under preassure today but I am confident about $CAAS strength. All best!

It deserves at least $CYD valuation, so it could be easily trading at high $20 or low $30. Technicaly it is poised for a monster break out and it will explode up sooner than latter. Some big china stocks like $BABA and $BIDU or $NTES are under preassure today but I am confident about $CAAS strength. All best!

$CAAS EVs are getting more adoption. Their electric steering components sales grew by 25% or smth in that area last year. They’re priced like an uknown microcap while their clients are BYD, Ford (Stellantis) etc in China, Brazil etc. Comps trade at 12x P/E while $CAAS trades at 3x P/E

$CAAS hmmm on today's action. This continues to be my 3rd largest holding and not complain about either today's action or how well it held up on the recent China blood bath. Managed to add just a few in the 4.30s this past week but mostly holding from my low 4 position I started over 6 months ago. Long term hold for either the huge special dividend or buyout massive pop coming down the road.

Don't forget $CAAS is a $30 stock, trading below $5 but it won't last long. Just take a look at 200-MMA and compare it to $CYD and you will see monster move is coming.

$CAAS are we headed back to $4.20 land? Pretty crazy to think we could end up there after the latest earnings. We could be looking at a net cash balance of $200M and book value pushing $15 per share by year end. EPS will probably be close to $1.40 (last year had some one time bumps to EPs).
