CHICAGO, Nov 05, 2009 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Zacks.com releases the latest Industry Outlook. Today, Zacks Equity
Research discusses the Alternative Energy Industry, including Evergreen
Solar Inc. (Nasdaq: ESLR),
JA Solar Holdings Co Ltd. (Nasdaq: JASO),
A-Power Energy Generation System (Nasdaq: APWR),
LDK Solar Company Ltd. (NYSE: LDK)
and First Solar Inc. (Nasdaq: FSLR).
A synopsis of today's Industry Outlook is presented below. The full
article can be read at http://www.zacks.com/stock/news/26898/Alternative+Energy.
Alternative energy stock prices generally rise and fall in direct
proportion to the price of crude oil. While in times of high oil prices
this may present an opportunity, it also increases volatility in the
sector.
Industry-wide excess solar cell and module capacity have led to
stockpiling across the board. As a result, we think the performance of
companies such as Evergreen Solar Inc. (Nasdaq: ESLR),
JA Solar Holdings Co Ltd. (Nasdaq: JASO),
A-Power Energy Generation System (Nasdaq: APWR)
and LDK Solar Company Ltd. (NYSE: LDK)
-- burdened as they are with high inventory levels -- will remain under
pressure in the near term.
Germany, one of the prime solar markets with a lucrative subsidy
program, is considering a roll-back of its grants. This will affect
companies such as First Solar Inc. (Nasdaq: FSLR),
who generate a substantial portion of their sales from Germany.
