ADC Telecommunications and China will grow together

ADCT is a global supplier of broadband network equipment, software, and systems integration services that enable communications service providers to deliver high-speed internet, data, video, and voice services, with an emphasis on that critical 'last mile' (homes/businesses) portion of the network.

The growth proposition with ADCT? The company's China business, Century Man, will yield promising returns, as a result of its participation in China's 3G network buildout.

Further, a domestic broadband stimulus package in the U.S. may provide an additional tailwind. The First Call F2009/F2010 EPS estimates for ADCT are 13 cents to 39 cents.

To be sure, a longer than expected decline in telecom spending and/or the loss of a large customer(s), are risks, moving forward, but the risk/return is still tipped way in favor of the Buy rating.

Stock Analysis: ADC Telecommunications' is a moderate-risk stock. If you've already purchased the company's shares, hold them. If not, consider buying a 50% position in ADCT now; then buy another 25% in three months, if U.S. and global economic conditions don't worsen substantially. Under any circumstance, don't buy more than 75% of your ADCT position before December 2009. Sell/Stop Loss if you were to buy shares in this company: $3.
