Wednesday, May 22, 10:55 AM Suntech's (STP -14.8%) local creditors claim the Chinese solar panel maker's bankrupt Wuxi subsidiary owes them a combined 15.6B yuan ($2.5B), as a debt restructuring process expected to last months begins. The restructuring of STP's domestic debts is being closely watched by its overseas creditors, whom analysts say are likely to take a haircut. Comment! [Energy, Tech, On the Move]
Wednesday, May 22, 10:19 AM Talks designed to ease the solar panel trade spat between China and the EU by agreeing on export prices have failed, Xinhua reports.

Tuesday, May 21, 12:43 PM Another driver for the run in U.S. solar stocks today is a big move in Chinese solar stocks overnight, particularly Hareon Solar Technology, which jumped to its 10% daily limit on speculation that the U.S. and China are seeking to resolve a dispute over trade in solar-energy equipment that could lead to soaring tariffs: JA Solar (JASO +5%), China Sunergy (CSUN +5.2%), Ascent Solar (ASTI +32%), Spire (SPIR +9.6%), Trina Solar (TSL +10.3%), Hanwha Solarone (HSOL +11.5%), Suntech Power (STP +20.5%), ReneSola (SOL +8.1%), LDK Solar (LDK +10.3%). 2 Comments [Global & FX, On the Move, Tech, U.S. Economy]
Thursday, May 16, 3:10 PM ReneSola's (SOL -14%) larger than expected Q1 loss on falling prices and shipments has shares reeling and is dragging down other Chinese solar stocks. SOL offered an optimistic take on the rest of the year, saying Q2 sales could hit $330M, but investors aren't impressed. TSL -4.2%, JASO -3.5%, STP -1%, but YGE +2%. Comment! [Energy, Tech, On the Move]
Wednesday, May 15, 2:14 PM Solar stocks continue to surge (TAN +4.6%) following SunPower's strong analyst day guidance. A few more winners: DQ +19.8%. SCTY +4.3%. JASO +9.2%. CSUN +7.9%. YGE +6.8%. Chinese solar names could also be getting a lift from news bankrupt Suntech (STP +9.7%) has reached a new forbearance agreement with a majority of its convertible debtholders, under which the debtholders agree not to exercise their rights until June 28. Also: LDK (LDK +8%) has filed its 2012 20-F. (yesterday) (Monday) 2 Comments [Tech, On the Move]
Wednesday, May 15, 1:57 PM Suntech Power (STP +9.6%), the reluctant poster child for heavily indebted solar companies, trades higher after saying most of the holders of its 3% convertible notes have consented to a forbearance agreement under which they will forgo their rights under the notes until June 28 to allow STP more time to devise a mutually agreeable restructuring proposal. (PR) Comment! [On the Move]
Friday, May 10, 12:29 PM Volatile/well-shorted solar stocks are ripping higher (TAN +5.4%) to close out a week in which the EU imposed long-expected tariffs on Chinese solar panel imports. TSL +10%. CSIQ +16.1%. STP +9.1%. SCTY +8.6%. SOL +8.3%. JASO +7.5%. FSLR +4.6%. JKS +9.4%. LDK +3.4%. SPWR +7.8% A Reuters column today notes the pace of module price declines is expected to slow, as weaker players are forced out and U.S./emerging markets demand gradually soaks up excess capacity. 4 Comments [Tech, On the Move]
Wednesday, April 24, 12:59 PM First Solar (FSLR +12.9%) and other solar stocks (TAN +3%) are sharply higher, apparently related to news the MLP Parity Act is being re-introduced today in the House and Senate - a bill that's not likely to even pass and is not a game changer. JKS +12.1%, SPWR +10.7%, STP +11.4%, LDK +9.6%. Comment! [Tech, Energy, On the Move]
Monday, April 15, 12:49 PM Disappointing Chinese GDP data helps fuel a rout in solar stocks (TAN -3.8%). A broader selloff in risk assets isn't helping either. Suntech (STP -21.1%) is the biggest loser, as the Buffett rumor rally officially comes to an end. JASO -11.8%. LDK -10.7%. YGE -8%. WFR -7.9%. GTAT -5.9%. SOL -8.2%. TSL -6.9%. SPWR -5.1%. JKS -8.5%. DQ -5.2%. YGE -8%. Comment! [Tech, On the Move]
Wednesday, April 10, 8:28 AM Suntech (STP) +6.3% premarket is seeking to sell some assets and bring in a strategic investor to repay debt and revitalize the company, Reuters reports. Shares have jumped 50% this week alone after a rumor that Warren Buffett is looking at buying the bankrupt company. 1 Comment [Tech, Energy, On the Move]
Tuesday, April 9, 1:41 PM First Solar (FSLR +23.8%) guides on its analyst day for 2013 revenue of $3.8B-$4B and EPS of $4-$4.50, far above a consensus of $3.15B and $3.46. Shares have spiked higher on the news, and were shortly halted due to volatility. Other solar names are also surging: SPWR +9.8%. TSL +8.7%. DQ +12.3%. STP +36.1%. LDK +15%. JKS +15.4%. WFR +7.5%. JASO +6.6%. (previous) Update (1:56): First Solar shares are now up 48.2%, and have been halted again. CNNMoney's Paul R. La Monica notes over 1/3 of the float is shorted. "Can you say squeeze?" 9 Comments [Tech, On the Move, Earnings, Breaking News, Top Stories]
Tuesday, April 9, 8:21 AM Suntech Power (STP) +12.5% premarket after jumping 15.7% yesterday, as reports circulated that Warren Buffett is interested in buying the company. This morning, STP is notified by the NYSE that it does not meet price criteria for a continued listing; STP now has six months to regain compliance. Comment! [Tech, Energy, On the Move]
Monday, April 8, 11:00 AM Bankrupt Suntech (STP +16.1%) soars on a rumor Berkshire Hathaway's MidAmerican Energy division is interested in the company. Though MidAmerican has acquired solar projects and provides installation services, buying a Chinese solar module maker would be off the beaten path. 3 Comments [Tech, On the Move, M&A]
