- Monday, June 17, 11:04 AM Chinese solar manufacturers react favorably to Beijing's introduction of "reformed methods" to support them. The methods include easier financing, electricity subsidies, and a requirement that utilities buy all the electricity solar plants create. The government has also reiterated its call for industry consolidation. In addition to Canadian Solar (CSIQ +10% - previous), winners include LDK (LDK +8.8%), Yingli (YGE +11.8%), Daqo (DQ +17%), Trina (TSL +7.4%), and JinkoSolar (JKS +8%). Yingli just struck a deal to help develop 3GW worth of solar plants in Southern China by 2016. Comment! [Tech, On the Move]
- Tuesday, June 11, 10:40 AM Volatile solar stocks head south (TAN -4%) after LDK Solar (LDK -8.5%) beat Q1 revenue estimates by $7.1M, but missed EPS forecasts $0.25 thanks to a -57% gross margin (-42.7% exc. a $15.1M inventory write-down), and provided somewhat disappointing revenue guidance. JKS -5.5%. TSL -4.9%. JASO -6.2%. DQ -4.8%. SPWR -4.4%. FSLR -4.9%. YGE -5.2%. GTAT -3.6%. FSLR -4.9%. LDK ended Q1 with $174M in cash, $182M in pledged bank deposits, and a whopping $2.6B in debt. (SolarCity) Comment! [Tech, On the Move, Earnings]
- Wednesday, June 5, 11:41 AM Solar stocks see a bit of profit-taking after Goldman downgrades JA Solar (JASO -9.3%) and Trina (TSL -6%), and the EU officially announces Chinese module tariffs that will only total 11.8% for now, but could soar as high as 67.9% on Aug. 6 if a settlement isn't reached. Yingli (YGE -5.4%) states its tariff will rise to 37.3% on Aug. 6, which it claims is "the lowest rate" of all Chinese mobile vendors. Trina says its tariff will rise to 51.5%. LDK -5.2%. CSIQ -3.5%. JKS -3.2%. CSUN -4.1%. SOL -4.4%. FSLR -3.4%. CSIQ -3.5% in spite of its solar plant sales. Comment! [Tech, On the Move]

[On the Move] - Friday, May 31, 10:21 AM Japan’s solar shipments have nearly tripled during the past 12 months as its government attempts to boost the use of clean energy, but Trina Solar (TSL -2.7%) hasn’t been able to take advantage, according to a bearish report from Axiom which says Q1 results show TSL is lagging JA Solar (JASO -2.6%) and Yingli Green Energy (YGE -3.5%) in penetrating Japanese markets.

Losers: TSL -13%. CSIQ -6%. CHS -6%. Comment! [On the Move] - Wednesday, May 29, 7:42 AM More on Trina Solar's (TSL) Q1 results: Solar module shipments were ~393 MW, -5.3% Q/Q, gross margin was 1.7% vs. 1.9% in Q4 2012. TSL's prior guidance called for shipment volume of 420-430 MW and gross margin in low single digits. Expects to ship 500-530 MW of PV modules in Q2. Maintains previous guidance of 2.0-2.1 GW of total FY 2013 PV module shipments. Shares -11.5% premarket. Comment! [Tech, Energy, On the Move]
- Tuesday, May 28, 10:33 AM 2013's giant solar stock rally continues (TAN +3.9%) as the EU faces a backlash over Chinese tariff proposals, and Canadian Solar (CSIQ +15.2%) soundly beats Q1 estimates with the help of a 470 bps Q/Q increase in gross margin to 9.7%. Though CSIQ's opex would only have fallen 3% Y/Y if not for the reversal of a $30M arbitration award, it still fell 17% Q/Q (exc. one-time events) thanks to 25% Q/Q drop in selling expenses. Also: CSIQ is guiding for module shipments to rise to 380MW-410MW in Q2 from Q1's 340MW, and (like JA Solar) is seeing surging Japanese shipments - they rose 76% Q/Q in Q1, and made up 25% of total shipments. TSL +8.4%. JKS +4.6%. YGE +6.9%. LDK +4.8%. DQ +7%. SCTY +2.5%. Comment! [Tech, On the Move, Earnings]

[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. Solar shares are broadly lower: STP -18.7%, JASO -3.4%, TSL -2.3%, YGE -2.5%, SPWR -2.5%, LDK -7.3%, JKS -4.1%, FSLR -2.5%. Comment! [Energy, Tech, On the Move]
- 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]
- Tuesday, May 21, 9:21 AM Solar stocks took off in response to JA Solar's results yesterday, and they're surging premarket in response to Yingli's guidance hike today. Chalk it up to both heavy short interests, and growing optimism capacity cuts and rising non-European demand can put the troubled industry on more stable footing. Lux Research predicts solar's supply glut will evaporate, but not until 2015. TSL +9.1%. JASO +14.6%. LDK +9.8%. FSLR +1.6%. CSIQ +6.2%. JKS +6.5%. SOL +11.3%. Comment! [Tech, On the Move]

Losers: FSGI -46%. CIMT -10%. CUK -7%. NBG -6%. CCL -6%. Comment! [On the Move] - Monday, May 20, 10:45 AM JA Solar (JASO +34.4%) is now skying higher following its Q1 beat and full-year shipment guidance reiteration, and is providing fresh fuel for the colossal solar stock rally that started last fall (TAN +4.4%). TSL +13.3%. DQ +20%. LDK +9.9%. JKS +10.3%. SCTY +11.6%. SOL +9.4%. CSUN +8.9%. SPWR +4.9%. ASTI +9.4%. YGE +8.4%. CSIQ +6.6%. The fact 38% of JA's Q1 module shipments went to Japan (a market with higher ASPs/margins than China) is likely going over well with investors. 6 Comments [Tech, On the Move, Earnings]

TruffelPig: Well, for conventional you always have to buy fuel - day and night. Solar after one investment is basically free. 50% free is still free. -
TruffelPig: To think you now can run everything with nat gas (temporarily cheap) is an illusion. Nuclear is an illusion too and coal is unpopular.
