Yingli Green Energy Hold. Co. Ltd. (ADR) (YGE), First Solar, Inc. (FSLR), SunPower Corporation (SPWR): The European Party Is Over

Page 2 of 2

Conclusion

Even if the European Union only places minimum prices and quotas on Chinese panels, this will be a negative force on Chinese manufactures. It will take away their pricing advantage and leave Yingli Green Energy Hold. Co. Ltd. (ADR) (NYSE:YGE) and Trina Solar exposed to more competition. First Solar, Inc. (NASDAQ:FSLR) and SunPower Corporation (NASDAQ:SPWR) are more attractive investments with better margins and less exposure to Europe’s troubles. Right now SunPower Corporation (NASDAQ:SPWR) is far away from First Solar’s profit levels, but Sunpower’s high reliability should help it to regain some its pricing power.
