  Potential for explosive growth

Gmarket (Nasdaq: GMKT) is the eBay (Nasdaq: EBAY) of South Korea. Although eBay has a presence in the country, Gmarket seems to have a better understanding of its users - and naturally, a better relationship with them because of that.

Gmarket also has $230 million in cash and no debt. And at less than 7 times free cash flow and 18.5 times earnings, the valuation seems reasonable, given that earnings growth over the next five years is expected to roll in at 35% annually. Not to mention that in 2008, operating margin grew sharply from 11.9% to 16.6%.

Currently, Yahoo! (Nasdaq: YHOO) owns 10% of Gmarket, but I wouldn’t be surprised to see eBay acquire it in order to capture that growing cascade of free cash flow.
