where do they see the growth? By cutting costs, laying off people, speeding bill collection by 7 days and sugar coating EPS?
in PM, this pos was down to 23.55. With just 100k shares, they took it back to 24. Hopefully it will settle down way below today where it belongs.
So far two price targets set, one to $24 by Jefferies and another to $18 by Mizuho.
Totally agree. Look at the income statement from 2012 april to this one. Earnings are down by 3Bil compared to last year same qtr. Annual rev is down by 10 Billion YOY.
8.5 mil is only 25% of the daily average trade volume. No biggy. When the 1.97 Bil shares start trading tomorrow, the supply demand will take over. With the market little nervous today, I am sure everyone will try to book at least 10% profit tomorrow before the market corrects .
Revenue and EPS growth are decelerating. Missed rev expectation by 1.92 pct in this qtr alone. 27.58B actual vs 28.12B expected.
Sentiment: Strong Sell
Also remember. The up guidance for next year is due to the product delay from this year moving to next FY calendar.
I won't be surprised if this falls below $15 tomorrow. AH low this evening was $15.10.
Big rev miss and big loss next qtr. why? No new product and no rev stream. So you have to value this company based on each and every qtr product releases. And don't expect full year profit until 2015 and beyond. Lot of things can change in the next 2 years. If the stock values are based on NPV or fulture EPS growth or consistent revenue growth, I don't know how you can value this company.
At this point everything is a guess. A lot can change in the next 2 years before this company can start or assuming they wlll make consistent profit.
Strong Sell.
Since the take over rumor has been denied by both parties, does this stock go down on Monday by 10%, like in January?
The market vale is is already $1 Billion. Approval is not until end of 2014.. Seems like a too much gain too fast today.
Looks like this prediction is on target so far for the day. Many analysts have reiterated their price target, which is well below current price.
First downgrade PT-reiteration today
Run-Up 'Overdone' - Jefferies
"While we remain bullish about the company's LT positioning, the guidance increase is largely a revenue pull-in from 2015 on a change in accounting," analyst Scott Reynolds said. "We continue to see FSLR as the best house in a bad neighborhood however we don't believe the outlook has radically changed to prompt the move."
The firm maintained a Hold rating and $30 price target.
or a PT set to $32 or below will tank this tomorrow. Not much surprise today. Even with a projected EPS of $4+ in the future, known before today, this stock was trading at a PE of 7. Wonder why that would change all of a sudden tomorrow.
The revenue and EPS are revised up because of recognizing revenue this year. This means it takes away some of the revnue planned to recoginze in 2014, and that will be down.
Based on the EPS range of $2.50 to $4 for next year, if they happen to hit $2.50, which is still in their projected range, that will be down from $4 EPS this year.
TetraSun is many of innovations company , who were trying to survive wth no more venture fund. FSLR did the stunt to give some news today. This purchase is irrelevant. This market is alreay compettive, over supplied, and has become a commodity. Even before figuring out what to with the acquisition, FSLR is giving guidance for 3 years.
Thanks for your predictions. This is actually a survey to see what other people here think.
First Solar's acquisition of Tetrasun allows it to take on rivals such as SunPower, based in San Jose, that it couldn't before. The company must first figure out how to produce these highly-efficient panels at commercial scale and sell into a market that analysts say remains over-supplied.

My prediction is start at 14.10 and goes all way to 16.50 and settle at 16 tomorrow. Might touch 18 on Wednesday.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
