Tingyi's bonds may appeal to strong stomached investors

Article Abstract:

Tingyi Holdings Cayman Islands has experienced a 24% increase in the price of its Hong Kong-listed stock since Dec 1998. The sharp rise in value has been the result of market's favorable response to the Chinese noodlemaker's announcement that it had begun negotiations to sell a substantial amount of stock to Campbell Soup. Tingyi's convertible bonds are also a prudent investment according to the analysts who have placed buy recommendations. However, they advise caution in the event that the anticipated Campbell deal fails to push through.
