Powerchip Semiconductor Manufacturing Corporation

A top-tier grower that's turning around. Top-tier growth across the board with the forward pace exceeding the past. A textbook fit for aggressive growth and quality-growth strategies. The strongest point: revenue is set to grow 38%/yr over the next 3 years, ahead of most of the market. The one thing to watch: revenue has shrunk over the past 3 years.

Returns rank poorly over both the short and long run, and the price is still falling. Momentum is firmly negative — catching this is a bet against the tape, not with it. Wait for a base to form. The strongest point: strong recent results. The one thing to watch: the stock is underperforming over the past month and over three months.

A genuinely cheap stock. Forward P/E, EV multiples, and book value all screen attractive versus the market. A textbook fit for pure value and smart-value strategies. The strongest point: today it trades at 7x forward earnings, cheaper than 90% of companies worldwide. The one thing to watch: it trades above its own historical P/E.

A middle-of-the-pack business on quality. Margins, returns and balance sheet sit around the market average. Workable, but not a standout on business quality. The strongest point: best on free cash flow margin at 24%, better than 80% of companies worldwide. The one thing to watch: the operating (EBIT) margin is negative.
