Under The Radar: Gushan

For Speculation Friday, Cramer highlighted a stock that touches on three of the hottest themes out there: China, energy and the environment.

Gushan Environmental Energy [GU  Loading...      ()   ] is the largest producer of bio-diesel fuel in China. While bio-diesel hasn’t caught on in the U.S., thanks in no small part to what Cramer called our “politically mandated marriage to ethanol,” it is becoming the fuel of choice for the Chinese. They’re hungry for energy and they’ll take it any way they can get it.

Gushan makes fuel from trash. It turns vegetable oil and animal fat that get thrown away into bio-diesel, part of the reason the company is actually profitable, Cramer said. It’s also got a long-term growth rate of 25%. The business is real, it works and it’s getting bigger. Add that to the big-picture idea that, as the wealthy class grows in China, more and more people are worrying about quality of life and demanding clean air and clean fuels. The Chinese government has actually mandated that 15% of Chinese fuel be renewable by 2020, which is great news for companies like Gushan.

The stock is about as under-the-radar as they come, according to Cramer. It came public in December at $9.60 and still trades in that range. At this price, Gushan is a bet Cramer would be willing to make, especially with the rising tide of the Beijing Olympics almost certain to lift Chinese stocks.
