Historical Stock Chart
From Nov 2019 to Nov 2024
Dutton Associates updates its coverage of China Solar & Clean Energy
Solutions (OTCBB:CSOL) with a Strong Speculative Buy rating and a $5.46
price target. The 11-page report by Dutton senior analyst Paul J.
Resnik, CFA is available at www.jmdutton.com
as well as from First Call, Bloomberg, Zacks, Reuters, Knobias, and
other leading financial portals.
China Solar & Clean Energy Solutions is the new name of Deli Solar USA,
an established and significant seller of solar water heaters and
space-heating devices in the People’s Republic
of China (“PRC”).
The name change reflects the Company’s
decision to expand into other areas of energy conservation. The
well-documented need for China to turn to environmentally friendly
energy sources to support its dramatic economic growth forms the basis
for substantial opportunities in the alternative energy sector. China
Solar’s solar water heating business is
achieving solid gains as it expands its geographic footprint and market
share in China. That market is benefiting not only from the need for
alternative energy sources but also from the rapid growth of the middle
class and a strong housing market in China. We project 44%
earnings-per-share growth in 2007, and a gain of 53% in 2008, aided by
internal growth and a recently completed major acquisition; yet the
shares trade at less than 8x estimated 2008 EPS. Longer term, we believe
that the Company’s interest in other
alternative energy sectors further enhances China Solar’s
growth potential. Based on “street”
estimates for S&P’s 500 earnings in 2008,
the S&P 500 P/E is currently about 14. Assigning this multiple to China
Solar’s estimated 2008 EPS, despite the
Company’s prospects for above-average growth,
generates a 12-month price target of $5.46, over 55% above the current
share price.
