Based on recent analyst and expert comments on Yingli Green Energy (NYSE:YGE), we have summarized three reasons to buy YGE today:
First, YGE is cheaper than other leading solar stocks: Trading at 14x 2010 EPS, YGE's P/E ratio is much lower than P/Es of FSLR, STP, SPWRA, and LDK (Click here to see the comparison table). Solar stocks have been performing well lately, and the some of them are trading at higher than 20x 2010 P/Es. For investors looking to buy a solar stock at a reasonable now, YGE is a good candidate.
Second, YGE is gaining market share in U.S. and Europe in the current market conditions. The company is among the top three cost leaders (NYSE:TSL, NYSE:STP, NYSE:YGE) in the solar module industry. The global financial crisis has caused buyers to be much more cost-sensitive. Low-cost solar module producers such as Yingli Green Energy have been gaining market share against their competitors, especially in the U.S. and European markets.
Third, YGE is likely to capture a meaningful share of the China market. In 2009, Yingli has been very aggressive in bidding for solar projects within China. The company is the second largest producer of solar modules in China. YGE will have significant upside if the company can win several bids in the second half of 2009.
