On CAPS, 95% of the 1,087 members who have rated ReneSola believe the stock will outperform the S&P 500 going forward. These bulls include ahwang84 and All-Star Seansonfire, who is ranked in the top 10% of our community.

Late last month, ahwang84 tapped ReneSola as a particularly multifunctional pick: "We all know that China is investing a lot of money in renewable energy and solar is one of the major plays. China + renewable energy + cheap = strong buy!"

While ReneSola continues to face increasingly ruthless competition, management has made some decent cost-cutting progress in recent months. Of course, with the stock trading at a clear forward P/E (4.9) discount to more established foes like Trina (7.2), MEMC (12.3), and Yingli (7.8), ReneSola investors should still be able to benefit from any further improvement.

CAPS All-Star Seansonfire elaborates:

ReneSola might not have the technology advantage that other solar producers like First Solar (Nasdaq: FSLR) or SunPower (Nasdaq: SPWRA) have, but they have a tremendous growth plan for both Modules and Wafers. ... ReneSola's impressive manufacturing capacity growth plan will drive their earnings and revenues to double over the next year. They also have shown to have a strong cost advantage on the wafer side which will keep their gross margins up compared to some of their competitors.
