Another Chinese Solar Stock Disappoints Investors

By | More Articles
March 11, 2013 | Comments (1)

The fourth quarter has been epically bad for Chinese solar companies. Shipments are rising but losses are growing, and there doesn't seem to be any way they'll be able to pay back mounting debt loads. 

The latest to tell us how bad the fourth quarter was is Canadian Solar (NASDAQ: CSIQ  ) , once one of the stronger Chinese solar manufacturers. The company reported a 5% gross margin, which is sadly on the high end of Chinese solar manufacturers, but a $2.43 loss per share is nearly as much as the stock trades for. Alison Southwick sat down with solar analyst Travis Hoium to discuss what this means for Canadian Solar and Chinese solar in general. 

If First Solar a top solar play?
Investors and bystanders alike have been shocked by First Solar's precipitous drop over the past twelve months, and now the stakes have never been higher for the company. Is it done for good or ready for a rebound?

    I don't consider it "disappointment". What happened last year is irrelevant. Not sure why people are so hung up on past performances. If anything, 2012 was the bottom of the cycle.
