Thoughts on Perfect World (PWRD)

Watchlist Idea for PWRD.

The stock is dirt cheap (famous last words?) while the company has an excellent balance sheet, superior free cash flow generation, and a very strong history of smashing analysts' earnings estimates.

I'm also excited about Perfect World's entry into North American with closed beta testing of Perfect World International which is based on the company's hit Perfect World II. Perfect World has the capital to take risks like this, and I believe it could be a smart one because the company could charge higher prices in developed markets like the U.S. while benefiting from its rock-bottom development costs. Near-term earnings visibility also looks good given a recent guidance boost and what looks like a successful start for Pocketpen Journey West.

Plus, I believe money managers will look to hide out in online gaming and traditional video-game stocks given the fact that industry fundamentals remain very strong in a lousy consumer environment.
