Think Equity Partners - SunPower starkes Nachfrageumfeld

12:35 29.11.10

San Francisco (aktiencheck.de AG) - Colin Rusch, Analyst von Think Equity Partners, stuft die Aktie von SunPower (Profil) von "hold" auf "buy" hoch.

Im Rahmen einer Branchenstudie zum Solarsektor seien die Bewertungsmodelle überarbeitet worden.

Das globale Nachfrageumfeld sehe derzeit stark aus. Das Marktwachstum in 2011 und 2012 dürfte deutlich über den bisherigen Erwartungen liegen. Es wäre keine Überraschung, wenn die Solarinstallationen in 2011 weltweit auf 20 GW und in 2012 auf 25 bis 26 GW steigen würden.

Auf Grund einer Verbreiterung der Solarendmärkte dürften Produkt- und Plattform-Entwicklung zunehmend an Bedeutung gewinnen.

Im Zuge einer Anhebung der Gewinnerwartungen sei das Kursziel für die SunPower-Aktie von 16,00 auf 20,00 USD heraufgesetzt worden. Das Unternehmen profitiere im Vergleich zum Sektor von den Unterschieden im Hinblick auf Produkte, Zulieferkette sowie die Vertriebsstrategien.

Vor diesem Hintergrund empfehlen die Analysten von Think Equity Partners die Aktie von SunPower nunmehr zum Kauf. (Analyse vom 29.11.10)

with Southern California Edison...

investors.sunpowercorp.com/releasedetail.cfm?ReleaseID=542640

SAN JOSE, Calif., Jan. 10, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- SunPower Corp. (Nasdaq: SPWRA, SPWRB) announced today that it has signed three power purchase agreements with Southern California Edison (SCE) for delivery of a total of 711 megawatts (MW) of solar power. SunPower will install its solar technology at sites in Rosamond and Los Banos, Calif.

"This is an important turning point for solar photovoltaic power," said Marc Ulrich, SCE's vice president, Renewable and Alternative Power. "The advances in photovoltaic technology, coupled with economies of scale, enable SCE to provide Californians with a large-scale power plant's worth of emission-free energy at a competitive price."

"This historic 711-MW commitment by SCE reflects the growing value of solar photovoltaic technology as a reliable, cost-effective energy resource delivered across rooftops or as a central-station power plant," said Howard Wenger, president of SunPower's utility and power plants business group. "SunPower's world-leading high-efficiency technology and history of reliable performance will maximize the solar energy delivered to SCE's customers."

SCE estimates that the 711-MW capacity will provide the equivalent power required for more than 460,000 average California homes.

The three contracts include:

   * 110 MW in Los Banos, Calif., scheduled to be operational by year-end 2014.  
   * 325 MW in Rosamond, Calif., scheduled to be operational by October 2016.
   * 276 MW in Rosamond, Calif., scheduled to be operational by October 2016.


At the sites, SunPower will deploy the SunPower Oasis™ power plant, the energy industry's first modular solar power block that provides a cost-effective way to rapidly deploy utility-scale solar. Engineered to optimize use of available land, each SunPower Oasis power block uses high-efficiency, 425-watt SunPower solar panels with the SunPower T0 Tracker, which positions the panels to track the sun during the day, resulting in up to 25 percent more energy capture over fixed-tilt solar power systems. Additional SunPower Oasis features include pre-manufactured cabling to minimize on-site wiring, the Oasis smart inverter control system to enhance grid interoperability, and SunPower's Tracker Monitoring and Control System for wireless control of the power plant.  

These contracts are a result of SCE's voluntary competitive renewables solicitation, and are contingent on approval by the California Public Utilities Commission and SunPower's ability to secure all applicable environmental reviews and permits.

The capacity of these projects are described in an alternating current (AC) basis.

SunPower: Racking Up U.S. Power Purchase Agreements Is a Good Move

Zitat:
The end result of all that is that module prices will probably decline 10% to 15% this year, which can still be profitable for manufacturers. Bachman writes that investors have been overly pessimistic, assuming price declines more like 25% this year.

What happens to the stocks?  The long-only investors have fled the scene, he observes, leaving the stocks to be mere “trading vehicles,” with forward P/Es below 10 times. That will change, he argues, as confidence returns about growth and about prices.
