In the U.S. and Europe, when it comes time to swipe your credit or
debit card, the odds are very high that it is going to go through a
machine made by either VeriFone (PAY) or Ingenico (OTCPK:INGIY). China's PAX Global Technology (OTC:PXGYF)
(327.HK) is hoping to change that, though, and the company already
boasts significant share in China and the wider Asia-Pacific region. As
the U.S. approaches the adoption of EMV standards ("chip cards"), PAX
Global could be approaching some significant share growth potential.
PAX
Global is not a bargain basement stock, though. The stock is not widely
covered by Western sell-side banks yet, but the stock sports a pretty
healthy multiple and still has a lot of work to do in building out the
software and service offerings it will need to compete in North America
and Europe. With that, investors need to make sure they're comfortable
that this company can continue to grow fast enough to outrun these
concerns in the short run.
As a quick note, I would suggest
investors try to buy the Hong Kong-listed shares (327.HK) if at all
possible. Although PAX Global technically has a U.S. ticker symbol it
appears to be effectively a dead ticker.
