October 29, 2009 10:53 AM EDT

Susquehanna maintains a 'Positive' on AsiaInfo Holdings (Nasdaq: ASIA), raises price target to $24.

Susquehanna analyst says, "Most important about ASIA results in our view were: 1) the blowout operating margins (all-time high of 23.2% versus our 19.1% estimate, how high can they go?); and 2) the sharp increase in Deferred Revenue (up 17% Q/Q, the highest sequential growth since late 2008). While investors have become accustomed to ASIA's rapid revenue growth (up 42% Y/Y), the quality of revenue was healthy. Hardware resales were negligible (a nominal 0.2% of revenue), and while concentration is still high (there are only three telcos in China), ASIA showed steady progress diversifying its customer base, as China Mobile was 60% of revenue, improving from 63% last quarter). We are raising Q4 and 2010 estimates, and believe at 16.8x EPS, ASIA offers one of the most attractive GARP investments in our universe."
