UTStarcom = gute Investition in die Zukunft

MERRILL LYNCH 12.12.2003              UTStarcom "buy"
PACIFIC GROWTH EQUITIES 05.12.2003    UTStarcom "overweight"
FIRST ALBANY 04.12.2003               UTStarcom "buy"

Wer also auf ein Comeback der Telekom-Branche setzt und zusätzlich vom Wachstum in China und Indien profitieren möchte, ist also bestens mit UTStarcom bedient. Allerdings ist die Aktie den Konzerns ncihts für schwache Nerven: Die Aktie unterliegt hohen Schwankungen.
Meiner Meinung nach sollte man schnell einsteigen, da der Kurs in der Nähe der unteren Unterstützungslinie bei ca. 31 US$ notiert und der MACD-Indikator bald ein Kaufsignal liefern wird.
1 Monatskursziel: 40 US$ (ca. +16%)
1 Jahr: 70 US$ (+100%)

Collaboration Between Two Companies Will Bring Operators Advanced Wireless Voice, Data, and Multimedia Services Through 3G and PAS

# ALAMEDA, Calif., March 1 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- UTStarcom, Inc. (Nasdaq: UTSI - News), a global leader in IP access networking and services, today announced that it will collaborate with Cisco Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq: CSCO - News) to advance the use of IP technology for third-generation (3G) wireless networks, focused on IP-based core networks, and promote products designed to furnish end users with increased bandwidth and full multimedia capability. As operators in China and throughout the world prepare to deploy IP-based technology, UTStarcom and Cisco seek to promote the deployment of a wide range of reliable, scalable 3G services, with the ease of managing a single IP-based core network.(Logo: www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20031229/UTSLOGO )

Cisco brings to the relationship proven infrastructure-level technology, backbone equipment, and industry-leading expertise in security and quality of service (QoS). For its part, UTStarcom will provide innovative applications and service interfaces such as 3G and iPAS (Personal Access System) (iPAS(TM)) to network operators. The first UTStarcom field-trial network employing 3G will become operational in Beijing in the first quarter of 2004.

"Our network platform is designed to deliver industry-leading performance and increased growth opportunities for our customers," said Jia-Bin Duh, president of Cisco Systems China. "Working with UTStarcom, we will accelerate the deployment of the new-generation network equipment and solutions."

"This collaboration brings further innovation to operators in China with the most advanced technology provided by Cisco and UTStarcom, both leaders in IP networking solutions," said Ying Wu, executive vice president and chief executive officer for UTStarcom China. "Wireless is the next natural step in the convergence of IP voice and data services. Our combined expertise in core and access networks will help operators to quickly and cost effectively provide the new services and mobility their customers desire."

Operators, End Users Benefit from 3G

Telecom operators in China will benefit from this collaboration by gaining access to progressive technologies that will help them provide voice, data, and value-added services such as wireless Internet access, wireless email, and online content browsing with improved user experience. Operators can bring these services to their customers quickly through a single IP-based core network, using multiple access methods such as 3G and PAS. In addition, operators will benefit from better-quality service levels and easier provisioning of applications.

UTStarcom and Cisco previously cooperated on UTStarcom's successful IP-based iPAS wireless communications system, which uses the IP-based core network to provide comprehensive voice, data, and other value-added services. UTStarcom's iPAS is the world's largest IP-based wireless system, which supports more than 21 million subscribers in China to date.

UTStarcom Launches Its First Dual-Mode PAS/GSM Handset
Tuesday March 2, 9:05 am ET
Initial Launch in Vietnam - Phone Allows Users to Enjoy Both GSM and PAS Network Functions in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh

# ALAMEDA, Calif., March 2 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- UTStarcom, Inc. (Nasdaq: UTSI - News), a global leader in IP access networking and services, today introduced the introduction of its first dual-mode PAS/GSM handset -- the UT 818. The phone was initially launched in Vietnam on February 27, to serve the strong demand of PAS Cityphone subscribers in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh. The Company plans to introduce the handset in other markets over time. PAS subscribers who travel outside of their service area will now have the capability of making and receiving calls on surrounding GSM networks. Moreover, while in their service area, users can choose to make or receive calls on either PAS or GSM.(Photo: NewsCom: www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20031229/UTSLOGO )

"The UT 818 handset is the result of tremendous demand by subscribers for the convenience of a dual-mode handset, which allows for interoperability between PAS and GSM networks, and is a testament to UTStarcom's dedication to driving innovative solutions to meet the demands of subscribers and creating new revenue opportunities for its operator customers," said Hong Lu, chairman and chief executive officer of UTStarcom. "The UT 818 represents the best of both worlds -- the cost-effectiveness of PAS service and the ubiquity of GSM networks worldwide."

UTStarcom's UT 818 offers PAS subscribers the very latest in mobile wireless technology and interoperability with the Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM). GSM, which is the most widely used phone standard in the world, has more than one billion users in 200 countries and territories throughout Europe, Latin America and Asia. GSM is used by more than 80 percent of all new mobile customers worldwide and has been a key driver in increasing mobile phone subscribers, adding nearly 200 million new users in just the past 12 months alone.

UTStarcom's new dual-mode handset is lightweight and small, featuring two LCD screens, 32 polyphonic ringtones, phone book, calendar, address book and memo applications, talk time display, alarm clock and games. It also allows for Short messaging service and 32k data service while on the PAS network. The UT 818 is the first of an entire line of new PAS handsets that UTStarcom plans to unveil in 2004, ranging from more affordable models to phones with higher-cost, higher-functionality phones. In 2003, UTStarcom shipped 16.5 million handsets, establishing it as the largest supplier of handsets in the Chinese market and greater than 60 percent PAS handset marketshare.

More than 20 million people subscribe for PAS service throughout the world on networks powered by UTStarcom technology. Key markets include Mainland China, Taiwan and Vietnam and Latin America.

PAS Wireless Access Solutions

UTStarcom's wireless network solutions are designed to enable a rapid network expansion and an easy migration from fixed to wireless networks, enabling service providers to offer wireless voice and data services within a city or community. Marketed as a low-cost investment option for wireless local telephone service, the PAS system features advanced voice and data services within a flexible network architecture that are designed to seamlessly integrated with future 3G and broadband technologies. With deployments throughout Mainland China and Taiwan, Vietnam, Thailand, and Latin America, UTStarcom is the leader in the worldwide PAS market.

Der Netzwerkausrüster UTStarcom wird 5 Millionen seiner an der Börse gehandelten Aktien zurückkaufen. In einer privaten Transaktion habe man bereits 1,623,000 Millionen Aktien eines institutionellen Anlegers gekauft. Zum 29. Februar hatte der Netzausrüster aus den USA, der den Großteil seiner Umsätze in Asien generiert, 117.1 Millionen ausstehende Aktien. Die UTSarcom Aktie sei in den Augen des Managements unterbewertet und biete dem Unternehmen somit eine attraktive Investitionschance, hieß es in einer Stellungnahme.

Die Aktie ist in den letzten Tagen mächtig unter Druch gekommen und hat vorgestern sogar unter 30 $ geschlossen. Danach ging es in einer Gegenreaktion wieder nach oben (heute +3,7% in NY). Damit befindet sich die Aktien nun seit September in einer Konsolidierung. Es wird also mal wieder Zeit für einen längeren Kursaufschwung. Die oben genannte Nachricht spricht auch dafür. Zudem sollte die 30 $ Marke nun als Unterstützung dienen.

Rating-Update:

Die Analysten von Thomas Weisel bewerten die Aktien von UTStarcom (ISIN US9180761002/ WKN 934248) weiterhin mit "outperform".


Ok, sagt nicht viel aus. Aber komplettiert noch mal die Liste der Empfehlungen. Ich glaube folgende Empfehlung hatte ich auch noch nicht genannt:

UTStarcom upgraded to “outperform"

NEW YORK, February 18 (New Ratings) - Analysts at Goldman Sachs upgrade UTStarcom (UTSI) from “in line” to “outperform.”

© 2004 New Ratings

"This licence agreement broadens UTStarcom's global wireless position, complements our existing 3G products and technologies, and opens up an attractive suite of applications that are synergistic with our personal access system (PAS) services in high-growth, developing worldwide markets."

With its turnover reaching 16 billion yuan (US$1.9 billion) last year, UTStarcom became one of the top telecom equipment vendors in China.

In China, UTStarcom has forged a tight relationship with China's two largest fixed-line operators - China Telecom and China Netcom, by providing PAS infrastructure and equipment. Both of the telecom operators have used the PAS service to increase revenues while gaining operational experience and customer relationships ahead of the actual receipt of mobile licences, expected early next year.

Earlier this month, UTStarcom Inc introduced its first dual-mode PAS/GSM handset to the market, which enables PAS subscribers who travel outside of their service area to make and receive calls on surrounding GSM networks.

Insiders believe that under the partnership, UTStarcom is likely to produce dual-mode PAS/CDMA handsets or even multi-mode PAS/CDMA/GSM handsets to meet market demands.

In another development, thanks to the brilliant performance of CDMA technology, the 3G standard has been winning increasing popularity in the international market.

On Friday, the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region's government said it wants to replace the two older standards in the region with CDMA2000.

Also in the European market, a committee representing European telecommunications regulators this week decided to allow the CDMA mobile telecoms standard to be used in certain specialized networks in Europe, according to Dow Jones Newswires.

ALAMEDA, Calif., March 29 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- UTStarcom, Inc. , a global leader in IP access networking and services, today announced that it has signed contracts valued at approximately $85.7 million with China Netcom Corporation (CNC) to expand and upgrade its IP-based PAS (Personal Access System) (iPAS(TM)) networks in Beijing and the Heilongjiang Province. UTStarcom also announced that as a result of the strong demand for its PAS infrastructure and handsets, the company is guiding to slightly higher revenues, slight gross margin pressure, and reiterates GAAP EPS guidance for the first quarter of 2004.

(Photo: NewsCom: www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20031229/UTSLOGO )

"As a result of the tremendous subscriber demand, China Netcom is expanding its iPAS networks for the third time in the Heilongjiang Province and for the second time in Beijing," said Simon Le, vice president of sales for UTStarcom China. "As the sole PAS infrastructure provider to CNC in Beijing and Heilongjiang and the dominant handset manufacturer, with more than 80 percent market share in these two regions, UTStarcom expects continued strong sales and subscriber growth in the provinces in the coming months."

Located in the northeastern part of China, Heilongjiang Province has a population of approximately 38 million people and a fixed-line penetration rate of only 31.5 percent. Currently, approximately 2.1 million people subscribe for PAS service in the province. UTStarcom estimates that more than 50 percent of the total population represents the target market for PAS service, as the demand for low-price telephony with citywide mobility is large in the region. In Beijing, PAS service has developed into a major revenue driver for CNC, representing approximately 60 percent of all new fixed-line subscribers. CNC estimates that more than one million people will subscribe for PAS service this year in Beijing alone.

Updated Financial Guidance:

The overall demand for PAS infrastructure and handsets in China continues to be strong and, as a result, UTStarcom is guiding to slightly higher revenues in the first quarter of 2004 -- in the range of $600 million. Handset demand and shipments also continue to grow with an estimated 4.5M units being shipped in the first quarter and total units shipped in 2004 to exceed the 16.5M units shipped in 2003. UTStarcom''s current PAS handset market share is estimated to be between 55 and 60 percent in China.

Gross Margin as a percentage of revenue is projected to be approximately 28 percent for the first quarter compared to previous guidance of approximately 30 percent. The revised gross margin guidance is primarily the result of continued weakness in the dollar versus Japanese Yen accounting for a reduction of approximately 100 to 150 basis points, requirements for more Yen purchases on critical components, as well as pressure on handset margins, which are currently running at approximately 20 percent. The company believes that handset margins will remain in the 20-23 percent range going forward and overall gross margins to improve throughout 2004.

UTStarcom''s GAAP Earnings per Share Guidance remains unchanged at $0.38 for the first quarter and $1.92-$1.94 for the full-year 2004.

The company is entering the quiet period and will not provide any additional guidance on the Financial Results. Major contract wins will continue to be announced through press releases. Q1 2004 Earnings Release and Conference Call is targeted for Tuesday, April 27.

"PAS has been a key driver of business development for China Telecom in the Fujian Province," said Simon Le, vice president of sales for UTStarcom China. "This contract represents the fourth expansion of our PAS network in the province since we first deployed service in May 2000.

UTStarcom Signs $18.6 Million Expansion Contract for IP-DSLAM in Japan In Support ...

ALAMEDA, Calif., April 22 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- UTStarcom, Inc. , a global leader in IP access networking and services, today announced that it has signed an expansion contract valued at $18.6 million with Softbank BB, the leading provider of broadband services in Japan. The contract is for further deployments of UTStarcom''s AN-2000 IB(TM), a carrier-class IP-based digital subscriber line access multiplexer (IP-DSLAM) that is being used to enable the new Yahoo! BB 45 Mbps high-speed ADSL service to more than four million broadband subscribers in Japan.

(Logo: NewsCom: www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20031229/UTSLOGO )

"Yahoo! BB''s 36 percent share of the DSL market in Japan continues to grow month-to-month as more consumers recognize the company''s strong reputation for high-quality, reliable broadband services," said Masahiko Yabuki, general manager of UTStarcom Japan. "UTStarcom''s IP-DSLAM solution enables Yahoo! BB to offer 45 Mbps for its ADSL service and attract subscribers who require high broadband performance for applications such as online gaming and VoIP. In addition, in support of their tremendously successful VoIP network, Yahoo! BB is also deploying our media and trunking gateways to deliver cost-efficient carrier-class reliability, stability and enhanced features to its ever increasing customer base."

Softbank BB: A Japanese Success Story

As one of the fastest-growing ADSL services vendors in the world, Softbank BB reached more than four million subscribers by the end of March 2004. The company introduced 8 Mbps ADSL data service in September 2001, attracting more than 100,000 subscribers in the first month alone. In August 2002, Softbank BB introduced Japan''s first 12Mbps service, which also provided subscribers with a personal mailbox, a homepage, and a wide range of value-added services.

Softbank BB is the first competitive carrier in the world to surpass the incumbent provider in market share. Yahoo! BB has achieved a dominant share of the DSL market in Japan among residential users, small and medium-sized enterprises, and small office/home office users. With high-speed content delivery made possible by UTStarcom''s AN-2000 IB, Softbank BB believes it offers the highest performance of any service provider in Japan.

In April 2002, Softbank BB added its voice-over-IP phone service, "BB Phone" to its successful Yahoo! BB broadband offerings. Utilizing the BB Phone service, subscribers can place calls within the IP network free of charge, while calls terminating outside the network, including calls within Japan as well as international calls, cost only a fraction of competing services. BB Phone subscriber numbers reached more than one million users just 7 months after the service was introduced and currently has approximately 3.8 million subscribers.

     Hallo Bleck, habe heute wieder ein paar Stück von dieser Netzwerk-Perle gekauft. Ich denke, dass nun die Bodenbildung beginnen kann. Es gibt m.E. 2 charttechnische Gründe, die diese Ansicht unterstützen (lese ich dem Nasdaq-Chart ab):
1. Der Kurs befindet sich knapp oberhalb des langfristigen Aufwärtstrendes seit September 2002 (z. Zt. bei 26,50 USD).
2. Der MACD-Indikator hat seinen Trigger nach oben durchschritten und mit einem kurzen Rücksetzer bestätigt.

Sollte Utstarcom jedoch unter 26 USD fallen, wird der Abwärtstrend wohl fortgesetzt. Die nächste starke Unterstützung sehe ich bei 24 USD. Fällt die Aktie auch darunter, dann steige ich mit ca. 18% Verlust (bei EUR/USD Kurs von 1,20) zähneknirschend wieder aus.

Mich würde übrigens interessieren, ob das Aktienrückkaufprogramm schon eingesetzt hat. Zur Zeit sieht es eher nach Leerverkauf aus.
Gruß Mecki,
Deine Threads sind übrigens sehr interessant für mich, da ich auch eher mittel- bis langfristig kaufe.

Ich denke auch, dass sich UTStar ueber 26 Dollar halten wird, danach sieht es jedenfalls im Moment aus. Auch wenn die Analysten nicht mehr ganz so zuversichtlich sind:

Rating-Update:

Die Analysten von Prudential Securities stufen die Aktie von UTStarcom (ISIN US9180761002/ WKN 934248) von "neutral" auf "underweight" herunter. Das Kursziel werde von 37 USD auf 32 USD gesenkt. www.aktiencheck.de

Der Telekommunikationsausrüster UTStarcom Inc. meldete am Montag, dass er bestimmte Assets der Mobiltelefon-Sparte der Audiovox Corp. für 165,1 Mio. Dollar in bar übernehmen wird, um im Markt für CDMA-Netzwerke zu wachsen.

Die Transaktion soll im vierten Quartal abgeschlossen werden und das EPS-Ergebnis in 2005 um 15 Cents steigern. Auf Basis der Übernahme rechnet UTStarcom für 2004 mit einem EPS-Ergebnis von 1,80 Dollar und für 2005 mit einem Gewinn von 2,38 Dollar pro Aktie, während der Umsatz bei 2,95 Mrd. Dollar bzw. 4,3 Mrd. Dollar liegen soll.

Zuvor war man von einem EPS-Ergebnis von 1,85 Dollar für 2004 und einem von 2,23 Dollar für 2005 ausgegangen. Der geplante Umsatz wurde dabei mit 2,75 Mrd. Dollar bzw. 3,5 Mrd. Dollar beziffert.
