The UTStarcom Story Products Future Growth Numbers Valuation Agenda Oh man, I love UTStarcom! And it’s a good all around play. We can have our cake and eat it too!
The UTStarcom Story Products Future Growth Numbers Valuation Agenda I know this thing is undervalued. The UVA kids must definitely agree!
The Irony…. Yet UTSI is still undervalued! Concern #1: Increased Inventory ( $1 billion backlog) Answer: Long revenue recognition cycle / 72% is already installed Concern #2: Banc of America offering has diluted stock Answer: What do we care, we are investing after the fact Concern #3: You are investing in sub-par technology Answer: PAS is not going away – demand dictates not performance Concern #4: Investing in Chinese companies is risky and dangerous Answer: Maybe so, but there is no lack of transparency here. Its all risky.
