"Cowen’s Stone Reiterates OUTPERFORM on First Solar" (FSLR)

Stone, along with Auriga's Mark Bachman are two of the better analysts covering the stock, with Bachman the slightly better timer.*
From SmallCapPulse:

Cowen’s Rob Stone reiterated his OUTPERFORM rating this morning on First Solar (Nasdaq:FSLR) citing strong demand and a rebounding Euro, as well as a large North American utility scale pipeline. Stone sees 25% upside vs. the market in 12 months.

Key Takeaways:

·         Sees 5-10% upside vs. St. Q210E EPS of $1.60 on revenue of $541 million,

·         Sees 2010 global PV demand of 11-12GW (+58%) and 14-15GW (+25%) in 2011...MORE

Be careful. The company reports on the 29th and the stock has run up from $102ish. For the last four quarters there has been a pattern of mystery/history, buy on rumor, sell on news. The big positive is that FSLR announce last quarter that current production capacity was sold out for the year. They are trying to get a couple more lines up and running.
