Investors may be frustrated with some of the decisions that China Mobile (NYSE:CHL)
management has made in recent years, but at least they can say that the
company is what it is – a leading wireless service provider focused
exclusively on China and built around generating solid and predictable
returns on capital and free cash flow.
With that in mind, China Mobile looks like a solid investment pick,
particularly for those investors looking for above-average dividend
potential.
Will 4G Justify The Investment?
China Mobile has been ramping up its 4G network plans, and spending on
this rollout is likely to be a key story over the next couple of years.
Management has targeted having 200,000 base stations in 100 cities by
the end of the year, with an official launch of service either late this
year or early next. Assuming the company keeps to that schedule, it
should provide an effective one- or two-year headstart.

Investopedia: Is China Mobile Too Successful To Succeed?
You would think that holding two-thirds of any market in China would be sufficient to keep a stock near the top of many investor's buy lists. That's not the case for China Mobile (NYSE:CHL), though, as investors fret about the impact of regulatory interference in the Chinese mobile market and wonder just how China Mobile will continue to deliver growth as the company gets ever larger.
Share Erosion a Modest Concern
Although China Mobile still has about two-thirds of the Chinese wireless market, that number has been declining in recent years as Chinese regulations have favored rivals China Unicom (NYSE:CHU) and China Telecom (NYSE:CHA) and allowed these companies to gain momentum.

Investopedia: China Mobile May Be Right For The Times
There are plenty of reasons not to like China Mobile (NYSE:CHL). Not only is China's largest cell phone operator closer to the Chinese government than many investors will find comfortable, but the company is also likely well past the point of exciting top-line growth. All of that said, though, this is a company with major market share, hand-over-fist cash flow generation, and a very solid business. Given how turbulent the markets are and the spasms that go with even modest disappointment, China Mobile looks like a dividend growth idea where investors can lay low for a while.
Second Quarter Results - Solid, But Not Scintillating
China Mobile's results probably won't impress casual observers, but they were better than many analysts had expected. First half revenue rose almost 9%, while second quarter revenue rose a half-point more. Second quarter EBITDA rose more than 7% (and margins compressed about 80 basis points), and net profit was up 7%. (For more on EBITDA, see A Clear Look At EBITDA.)

Motorola Back From The Dead This Halloween
Motorola (NYSE:MOT) was not supposed to do this. The company was supposed to be dead and buried, and just another entry in the pages of American technology companies that used to matter but could not compete. And yet, here the company is - revitalized by the smartphone boom and perhaps with another chance to make a real go of it.
Nothing Spooky About The Quarter
Motorola reported that total revenue rose 6% in the third quarter, with revenue from continuing operations up 13% to nearly $5 billion. The difference comes from the part of the networking business that is being sold to Nokia Siemens Network. Overall, GAAP earnings per share were 5 cents a share, a 400% increase over 2009 third quarter earnings. The year-over-year increase was similar in non-GAAP earnings which increased from 6 cents to 16 cents, well above the company's guidance figures.

China Mobile's Search For Growth
You can never really tell what a company's management team will come up with when thinking about how to fuel the next leg of growth. While I can understand why China Mobile (NYSE: CHL), China's largest mobile phone company, might want to diversify and deploy some of its substantial cash holdings, I was initially a little surprised by the latest idea.
According to a very brief announcement from Xinhua News Agency, China Mobile and Xinhua are going to collaborate to launch a new search engine company in China. So, a company that has enjoyed a sizable market share virtually from the first day of operation is volunteering to challenge Baidu (Nasdaq: BIDU) and Google (Nasdaq: GOOG) on their home turf.
