Morning Research on MEMC Electronic Materials, SunPower, Trina Solar, and JA Solar
LONDON, April 4, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --
Solar stocks were among the worst performers in 2012 as solar companies struggled due to pricing pressure and excess capacity. However, investors' confidence in solar sector has been reinstated after Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway made an investment in the sector earlier this year. The outlook for U.S. solar companies such as MEMC Electronic Materials Inc. (NYSE: WFR), and SunPower Corporation (NASDAQ: SPWR) has improved significantly. Chinese solar companies also faced significant challenges last year. The Chinese solar industry, however, has received significant support from the Chinese government. China is also planning to increase its solar installations over the next few years, which will benefit companies such as Trina Solar Limited (NYSE: TSL), and JA Solar Holdings Co. Ltd. (NASDAQ: JASO). Solar stocks struggled in Wednesday's trading session as the broad market fell sharply amid concerns over North Korea and as investors digested some weak U.S. economic data.
