Suntech Power: Upgraded to Buy
STP
-19.08%
in
23 days
Filed under: Suntech Power Hldgs ADS (STP), Stocks to Buy  I've upgraded photovoltaic play Suntech Power Holdings Co. (STP) to buy from the hold rating recommended on October 27, 2009. Here's why.
The stock chart of Suntech, a company expected to benefit from China's solar subsidy program, as well as U.S. government initiatives to invest in renewable energy, had formed a bear hug -- a bearish pattern in October. However, the stock held key, psychological support at $10 in November -- it actually fell to only $11.90 or so, and has since rebounded, breaking the downtrend of the bear hug. <><>Continue...

My prediction is SunTech moves into the red in the next 24 months, and when it does it will struggle to come out of the red. The balance sheet has enough debt and ST liabilities to challenge it going forward, but certainly capital raisings can change my target price. Solar industry is low margin business even for the low-cost provider. If Suntech loses cost advantages, this is a big problem.

Filed under: Trina Solar ADS (TSL), Suntech Power Hldgs ADS (STP), Stocks to Buy, Green Stocks, Obama Picks  President-elect Barack Obama has often repeated his stance on alternative energy. He plans to spend $150 billion over 10 years on alternative energy, not only as part of his energy independence plan, but also in order to help clean the environment, and perhaps most important of all, to create 5 million new jobs.
With Obama winning in the polls, it is no wonder that on Tuesday solar stock prices soared: SunPower Corporation (NASDAQ: SPWRA) finished the day up 14.6%, Suntech Power (NYSE...

Solar and Oil, Part Deux

<>So...I wrote about a break in the correlation between oil and solar stocks the day before oil takes a major tumble that crushes solar stocks at the same time. The one-day massive move on September 2 did not re-establish a correlation, but it was jarring nonetheless. All sorts of stops and targets triggered, and I am still trying to sort out the meaning of the action and make plans for the next month or so. At times like these, I find writing to be a great organizing and clarifying tool. I will focus here on explaining my short-term positioning in various solar stocks since I did not do so t...

Suntech: The Sun's the Limit

<>With oil prices sky high, it only seems appropriate to look to the sky for an energy solution. If you are not in an office all day as I am, your gaze towards the heavens provides you an often times blinding solution... the sun (don't try the exercise at night, it won't work). No longer a creation of overactive sci-fi minds, solar power is quickly emerging as a valuable alternative to more traditional, and limited, resources. While more people are beginning to recognize and appreciate the value of alternative energy of the solar sort, it can become difficult to determine which companies i...

As the market rebounds, investors continue to reward the large cap growth leaders, and alternative energy led by solar has been one of the prime beneficiaries.<!--more--> The need for alternative energy continues to be a main focus for all governments as oil continues it's climb to over $110 a barrel.

3/24 - "Cowen & Co is out with a positive call on solar stocks, saying most of the U.S. solar names look undervalued relative to growth and earnings, in their view, reflecting four areas of investor concern: uncertainty about the next phase of subsidies in Spain, Germany and the U.S.; and the tension between silicon supply/cost and module ASP/demand. Each of these is likely to be clarified in the next two to six months, underpinning a group rally. Firm reiterates Outperform on ENER, ESLR, FSLR, HOKU, SPWR, STP, and TSL."
