China stock market summary March 18, 2010

March 18, 2010 (Chinavestor) The DJIA ended up for the eight days in a row, setting a positive tone for China stock investors. Yet large cap China stocks underperformed and ended the day in the red. Small cap China stocks were mixed, measured by the Claymore/AlphaShares China Small Cap ETF (NYSE:HAO), ending the day higher.

Shares of China Biotics (NASDAQ:CHBT) advanced +13% with heavy underlying volume. City Telecom (NASDAQ:CTEL) was an oversold China play that was ready to turn around. Today's rally of +6.4% is a third straight up day in a row suggesting the company bottomed out earlier at $11 a share. Chinese airliners advanced on falling oil- as was expected after a strong showing in Asia this morning. Shares of American Dairy (NYSE:ADY) bottomed out at $20 and is not oversold anymore. More upside is on the road ahead...

Solar stocks underperformed today as price of oil subsided. Trina Solar placed 7,900,000 ADRs diluting the value for her shareholder base. AirMedia Group (NASDAQ:AMCN) fell -6.7% today making it the six day in a row. The stock isn't oversold yet, more downside is possible. Most of the gains following strong financial results evaporated for Global Sources (NASDAQ:GSOL) in two days. Shares of the company fell -4.0% making investors wonder where the stock is going to go from here. Shares of China Infrastructure Development (NASDAQ:CIIC) shed -3.9% by the end of the day.

China stock market at noon, March 18, 2010

China stock market at noon, March 18, 2010

March 18, 2010 (Chinavestor) Oil, earnings have been moving China stocks today. Price of the crude fell -1.23% to $81.96 a barrel, hurting oil and solar stocks the most. Trina Solar (NYSE:TSL) lost -8.5% today while Suntech Power (NYSE:STP) is trading -2.9% lower at noon. Falling oil prices spurred investors interest to airliners. Earnings have been another important factor as smaller cap Chinese stocks continue to report financials. Shares of KongZhong Corp. (NASDAQ:KONG) gave back -4.8% so far today after a +20% rally a day before. Shares of Harbin Electric (NASDAQ:HRBN) are trading -5.2% lower as energy prices subside. The company reported earnings two days earlier. Stocks on the positive include China Sky One Medical (NASDAQ:CSKI), a stock that's up +5.4% after a 15% dive a day before. Shares of Focus Media Holdings (NASDAQ:FGMCN) are trading +3.4% higher while Semiconductor Manufacturing (NYSE:SMI) is up +5.9% by noon.

Shares of China Eastern Airlines (NYSE:CEA) are trading +6.1% higher while China Southern Airlines (NYSE:ZNH) is up +5.2%. The rally was foretold - both airliners advanced strongly in Hong Kong - see best five components of the Hang Seng Index below. Shares of Air China (HKG:0753) advanced +2.0%, making it the best stock among the Xinhua 25 Index components.

Shares of China Sky One Medical (NASDAQ:CSKI) bounced back off after an over twenty percent drop yesterday. The sell-off was overdone in our opinion - most if the disappointment was a result of overly optimistic expectations. CSKI falls on earnings. But wait a minute!

Shares of Focus Media Holdings (NASDAQ:FMCN) experienced a highly volatile two days trading session after fourth quarter numbers. The excitement is understandable, Focus Media rattles nerves with Q4 numbers.

Stocks on the negative include solar plays such as Trina Solar (NYSE:TSL). There is no company specific news out there to justify the weakness but when oil falls, so is demand for solar. Conventional wisdom holds that solar makers make money when price of oil is above $60/barrel. If that's the case current sell-off of TSL looks irrational. To gauge how does TSL measure up to the rest of the sector, including industry leader Suntech Power (NYSE:STP), read Complete 2009 Q4 China solar stocks guide.

Shares of HQ Sustainable Maritime (AMEX:HQS) continue to show weakness. Shares of the company are considered oversold - but when a small cap AMEX stock gives way, no one knows where the bottom is. Read Oversold China stocks ready to bounce back.

Shares of KongZhong Corp. (NASDAQ:KONG) made a complete reversal from yesterday. The stock was the best performing China ADR on Wednesday but failed to hold on to gains and is now among the worst five China stocks of the day. Shares of the company are trading -4.8% lower at noon. We were of a view that the 20% surge was too optimistic - read KongZhong up 17%. Will it last?

And finally, a stock that's not as volatile but is certainly a great value stock, China Mobile (NYSE:CHL).  The company reported 2009 full year number today passing by analysts estimates. We have liked this company for a long time and our assessment proved to be true. China Mobile is on the Conservative and Growth portfolios, a stock pick that was a great choice for March.

March 17, 2010 (Chinavestor) Small cap U.S. listed Chinese stocks softened up by the end of the day as earnings fell short of expectations. Fuqi International (NASDAQ:FUQI) fell -37.2% following investigations into the earnings of the company. Worse than expected earnings hurt China Sky One Media (NASDAQ:CSKI), HQ Sustainable Maritime (AMEX:HQS), and Global Sources Inc. (NASDAQ:GSOL) the most on Wednesday. Volatile Rino International (NASDAQ:RINO) took a breather and fell -6.1% for the day. Focus Media Holdings (NASDAQ:FMCN) won the title of "the biggest reversal story" of the day. After an over eight percent jump at the open shares of the company eroded steadily to end the day in the red.

Stocks with the best performance today include KongZhong Corp. (NASDAQ:KONG), a stock that advanced +20.8% on strong earnings. China Digital TV Holding (NYSE:STV) rose +5.3% followed by Suntech Power (NYSE:STP) with a +5.2% advance. Shares China of Grentech Corp. (NASDAQ:GRRF) advanced +4.15% as earnings announcement nears.

KongZhong Corp. (NASDAQ:KONG) was the best China stock of the day, measured by percent change. With a +20.8% advance in one day, investors were spinning their heads. But we're of a view that future stock price remains uncertain and today's bulls might disappear should market sentiment sour. KongZhong up 17%. Will it last?

Rally of China Digital TV Holdings (NYSE:STV) have been caught by the overbought monitor several times. We will have to run the overbought monitor this time to see if shares of the company became overbought.

Suntech Power (NYSE:STP) is propelled by strong fundamentals. The company reported one of the best quarterly report among its peers with revenue and earnings growth accelerating in 2009. Expect additional gains down the road. Complete 2009 Q4 China solar stock guide.

Shares of China GrenTech Corporation (NASDAQ:GRRF) advanced +4.2% with low volume. Given that the company is going to report four quarter earnings later in March, current strength is just a run up before actual numbers. Investor, exercise caution!

Shares of China Fire & Security Group (NASDAQ:CFSG) advanced +2.52% today bouncing back off from the big drop the day before. We're of a view that current numbers are not as horrible as it might have looked for the first sight. Risk increases for CFSG as earnings disappoint but outlook sweetens.

Another earnings related reversal took place with Focus Media Holdings (NASDAQ:FMCN) today. Shares of the company jumped 8.7% at the open just to see all of the gains evaporate by the end of the day. Shares of the company ended the day -2.21% lower... Focus Media rattles nerves with Q4 numbers.

The biggest decliner of the day by far was Fuqi International (NASDAQ:FUQI). The company announced that it will restate the last three quarter and delay the announcement o f the current quarter. Investigations have started to find any wrongdoings on top of the bad news... But a -37.2% drop if way excessive in our opinion and it just may be a unique opportunity to pick up FUQI shares in the cheap. Don't panic FUQI investor!

Disappointing earnings hurt China Sky One Media (NASDAQ:CSKI)and HQ Sustainable Maritime (AMEX:HQS). Today's weakness of Global Sources (NASDAQ:GSOL) is a technical correction following two days of strong advanced following record earnings. Global Sources 2009 Q4 rocks!

China stocks at extremes: FUQI, KONG

March 17, 2010 (Chinavestor) This doesn't get any better - "Earnings, earnings, and earnings... when it comes to China stock movers." we wrote in the overbought/oversold report this morning. Earnings moved Fuqi International (NASDAQ:FUQI) big time - the stock lost -36.0% by noon today! Another stock on the move is KongZhong Corp. (NASDAQ:KONG), this time on the positive. Shares of the company are trading +19.8% higher as earnings rolled out.

Other noticeable China stocks on the move include China Digital TV Holding (NYSE:STV), Qiao Xing Mobile (NYSE:QXM) to the upside and China Automotive Systems (NASDAQ:CAAS), and China Sky One Medical (NASDAQ:CSKI) to the downside.

Let's start with the good news: shares of KongZhong Corp. (NASDAQ:KONG) advanced on better-than-expected earnings. The huge underlying volume suggests the rally is well founded and will stick.

China Digital TV Holdings (NYSE:STV) has been a highly volatile stock in the past that the overbought / oversold monitor recorded. Today's big advance is technical in nature after five days of decline.

A lesser know, small cap, low volume China play, Qiao Xing Mobile (NYSE:QXM) advanced +4.4% so far today. This rally is the third in a row but is part of a larger technical correction. Shares of the company has lost over 50% of their value since last November and the three days strength is more of a technical correction than a well founded, long term rally. Low volume today suggests the bounce back won't last for long.

Fuqi International (NASDAQ:FUQI) is screaming off the chart above as the worst stock of the day among U.S. and Asian listed Chinese stocks. The -36.0% drop following earnings announcement is a stark reminder that small cap Chinese stocks are risky investments.

Shares of China Sky One Medical (NASDAQ:CSKI) lost -9.0% by noon as earnings disappointed. A significant increase in volume suggests the stock will not recover anytime soon...

Shares of Chinese car part makers tumbled today. China Automotive Systems (NASDAQ:CAAS) and Tongxin International (NASDAQ:TXIC) are among the five worst performers today, highlighting the weakness of the sector.
