Stock Watch List For Friday

(Benzinga Lightning Feed Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) ( click to enlarge ) China Natural Gas, Inc. (NASDAQ: CHNG)  - China Natural Gas Chairman enters into exclusivity with private equity consortium for take-private transaction at proposed price of $4.25/share cash. The stock closed at a price of $3.82, a moderate change of 10% from its previous day's close. This stock has a short interest ratio of 4.5 based on average daily volume of 200,962 shares and 1.2 million shares short. I guess this deal  will force these short traders to cover their positions, and we may see a short squeeze play out. ( click to enlarge ) Newmont Mining Corporation (NYSE: NEM) has recovered nicely this week and can potentially set-up very well for a swing-trade if the stock breaks through the resistance level at $54.54. Technical indicators are becoming more favorable with MACD and Stochastics starting to turn up. There could be good upside in this trade, so watch NEM closely on Friday.( click to enlarge )In line with my anticipation, NetApp Inc. (NASDAQ: NTAP) confirmed today the reversal when it broke up above the $51.50 level. The stock price is now riding on an upward movement. Technically, my model remains long, targeting $55.33. Immediate support is seen at $50 area. NTAP can be a good trading stock, so watch it closely on Friday. ( click to enlarge )FormFactor, Inc. (NASDAQ: FORM) setting up for higher prices, 200 day EMA is key to break thru. As I mentioned on Twitter, I keep holding my long position in FORM waiting for something BIG.

The Cadmium Telluride Solar Factory Race « iTEK

Abound Solar has won a US DOE loan to support a new 640 MW/yr facility in Tipton, Indiana.  General Electric (GE)  recently announced buying Primestar. They indicate that they will be building the largest PV manufacturing facility in the world. Finally First Solar has announced a 250 MW/yr facility to be built in Mesa City Arizona near Phoenix.  Let’s take a closer look to see which one of these factories might have the best advantage to be in the lead to generate revenue.

First Solar As the largest manufacture of PV modules in the world,  First Solar Inc (FSLR)  is the defending champion.

First Solar has produced so many factories, it almost seems like their real product is factories, not solar panels. They indicate a total manufacturing capacity of 1.5 GW/yr (that is gigawatts per year) at the end of 2010. They have plants in Perrysburg, Ohio, Frankfurt/Oder, Germany, and Kulim, Malaysia. They plan to increase manufacturing to 2.9 GW/yr including additional facilities in Vietnam and the United States by the end of 2012. They are well capitalized, and will finally be manufacturing in Arizona with a 250 MW/yr factory, where the corporate headquarters is located. Don’t blame First Solar on the long delay to manufacture in Arizona. Arizona has a backwards micro-economic energy policy. They import their fuel while exporting their dollars. With the 3,739 MW Palo Verde nuclear power plant dominating the electrical generating landscape of the state, solar energy has been a hard sell even with all that sun. The CdTe technology is very appropriate for the hot Arizona climate because of First Solar’s  advantageous temperature coefficient in comparison to crystalline silicon PV  technology. While Arizona has been debating solar for the last ten years, First Solar was building factories all over the world. This new facility is expected to take one year to build. Can Abound or GE build a factory and create markets faster?

Abound Solar Privately held Abound Solar is the young colt with a rich patron.  In December 2010 Abound Solar closed on a long-anticipated $400 million loan guarantee from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) to fund the expansion of the company’s manufacturing capacity. They have an existing facility located in Loveland, Colorado with a nameplate capacity of 200 MW/yr.

Having a loan from the US DOE might seem like a great opportunity. However, getting the money and building the factory might take longer than anticipated. The first PV company announcing such an award was Solyndra, a copper, indium gallium and selenium (CIGS) thin film on tubes of glass PV technology. DOE had announced the Solyndra loan guarantee in March of 2009; however Solyndra failed to complete their initial public stock offering. With major delays, Solyndra indicates their annual production run rate will be approximately 200 MW/yr per year by the end of 2011, effectively eliminating them from this race.
