$$$ SunPower, die amerikanische SW $$$
Wollen wir es hoffen. Ich denke es wird nicht einfach sein, den richtigen Zeitpunkt zum Raus-Rein zu erwischen.
Da sind ja auch himmelweite Unterschiede ;)
Aber, bin schon ein bißchen enttäuscht, zugegeben!
SunPower (SPWRA) (SPWRB) executives expressed an optimistic outlook as they announced third-quarter earnings that beat Wall Street expectations Thursday.
But the company's shares dropped about 11 percent in recent trading as it lowered its earnings outlook for 2009. SunPower now expects to generate between $1.43 billion to $1.5 billion in sales for the year, resulting in $0.50 to $0.60 per share.
Previously, the San Jose, Calif.-based company had expected to post $1.35 billion to $1.7 billion in sales and $0.45 to $0.90 per share.
Executives from SunPower told analysts that they are boosting solar panel production and looking at lining up other solar panel makers to provide products for the company's power plant building business.
"Our Q3 performance reinforces the advantage of our vertically integrated model," said Tom Werner, CEO of SunPower. "We see strong demand into 2010."
On the technology front, the company plans to start shipping its Gen 3 cell in 2010. The company already can produce Gen 3 cells with 24 percent efficiency, Werner said. The cells in mass production have about 22 percent efficiency.
In the third quarter this year, SunPower generated $466 million in sales, a boost from $378 million in the third quarter in 2008.
Net income for the third quarter was $12.8 million, or $0.13 per share, compared with $24.7 million, or $0.29 per share from a year ago. Some one-time charges, including $5.3 million in non-cash interest charges associated with a new way of accounting for interest expense for convertible bonds.
Excluding one-time charges, the company's earnings per share reached $0.42, above the $0.40 per share expected by analysts polled by Thomson Reuters.
SunPower executives highlighted power plants it recently completed or are under construction to show its ability to attract project financing. The company is building a 24-megawatt project in Montalto, Italy.
Back in June, SunPower said it had lined up $100 million from Wells Fargo to finance power projects in the United States.
"Since capital is scarce, banks want to build relationship and avoid technology risks," said Dennis Arriola, SunPower's chief financial officer. "We are finding that SunPower is a company that banks want to do business with around the world."
The company expects to close more project financing before the end of the year," Arriola said.

Let me just give you a short data and then I'll turn it to Howard. You can interpret our Q3 and what looks like the Q4 as well as being sold out, and so it's a question of allocation of product. We have more demand than we can supply, and we think that environment goes well into 2010. Having said that, so therefore it's largely an allocation decision, but Howard, can you add some color?
Ich gehe davon aus, dass nach Eröffnung des heutigen Handels steil nach unten geht und sich danach die Aktie allmählich erholen wird.

Echt blöd sind deine Sprüche, ohne jede Erklärung.
Oder sprichst du nur leise?
Lippenlesen geht aber nur im Fernsehen

drastischer Gewinnrückgang ist übertrieben. Die Umsatzsteigerung bleibt völlig unberücksichtigt und das ist, in meinen Augen, ein beachtlicher Erfolg.
Wir werden sehen, wie anderen abschneiden, aber wenn SunPower bei dem Umsatz den Gewinn gemacht hat, dann werden andere voll einbrechen....
Der Markt reagiert hier wirklich überempfindlich. Nächste Woche werden sicherlich die 30 $ wieder erreicht.
Die Aktie wird für die gesenkte Gewinn-Prognose bestraft! ...
Ging Sunpower für 2009 bisher von einem Gewinn je Aktie zwischen 1,15 USD-1,60 USD aus, so sollen es jetzt "nur noch" zwischen 1,15 USD - 1,25 USD je Aktie werden ... und das ist nunmal eine Art "Gewinnwarnung" , auf die der Markt nunmal fast immer kräftig reagiert ...
Sicherlich ist die Reaktion "recht heftig" ... allerdings unterstelle ich, das die Outperformance der Aktie in den letzten Monaten ebenfalls eine Übertreibung war! ... die der Markt jetzt bereinigt hat ...
salve
Der + 20%-Ruck von Q2 hatte sich schon in Luft aufgelöst
Aber ich gebe dir schon recht, die "Gewinnwarnung" macht vielen Angst.
Was Roecki in 129 angibt hat aber nichts bewirkt. Das ist unfair !
Vielleicht stütze ich meine Hoffnung zu sehr auf eine noch entfernte Zukunf
Der Chart ist schon etwas merkwürdig.Die Aktie hat es jetzt mehrmalig nicht deutlich über die 33$ geschafft. Das hat ja schon fast Tradingdimensionen. Das kann man sich nun entweder mit der allgemeinen Flaute in der Solarbranche erklären oder durch einen grösseren Investor. Immerhin gehört SP nicht zu den Small Caps und sind sogar Marktführer was die Effizienz der Module angeht. Im nächsten Jahr sollen Module mit 22% Wirkungsgrad auf den Massenmarkt gebracht werden, was nochmalig 3,5% mehr sind als ihre z.zt. besten. Das ist zumindest ein altmodisches Argument das für Sunpower spricht.
Das Gegenargument wäre für mich die geringe Präsenz im asiatischen Bereich. Da scheinen mir andere Firmen besser ausgerichtet, von den chinesischen Solarwerten mal abgesehen z.B. Canadian Solar.
Leider ist das ganze Segment für den Privatmann ziemlich unübersichtlich und wenn man davon ausgeht, dass die Goldgräberphase vorbei ist, so sollte es in den nächsten Jahren zu einer Konsolidierung kommen und zahlreiche Small-Caps verschwinden. Die Frage ist, welche Solarfirmen dafür genug Masse haben werden.
Ob 2010 die Solarwerte wieder an fahrt gewinnen hängt nicht zuletzt von der Entwicklung des Ölpreises ab und der wirtschaftlichen Erholung. Vielleicht bringt auch der Klimagipfel im Dezember neue Impulse.

SunPower Announces World-Record Solar Panel With a 20.4 Percent Total Area Efficiency / Prototype Developed Using Funding From the DOE Solar America Initiative
SAN JOSE, Calif., Oct. 26 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- SunPower Corp. , a Silicon Valley-based manufacturer of high-efficiency solar cells, solar panels and solar systems, announced today that it has produced a world-record, full-sized solar panel with a 20.4 percent total area efficiency. The prototype was successfully developed using funds provided by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) under its Solar America Initiative (SAI), which was awarded to SunPower approximately two years ago.
The new 96-cell, 333-watt solar panel is comprised of SunPower's third generation solar cell technology that offers a minimum cell efficiency of 23 percent. In addition, the larger area cells are cut from a 165 mm diameter ingot and include an anti-reflective coating for maximum power generation. With a total panel area of 1.6 square meters, including the frame, SunPower's 20.4 percent panel achieved the highest efficiency rating of a full sized solar panel and this rating was confirmed by the National Renewable Energy Lab (NREL), an independent testing facility.
"SunPower has the engineering expertise and proven technology to accomplish this remarkable milestone in such a short period of time," said Larry Kazmerski, executive director, science and technology partnerships, located at NREL. "My colleagues at the DOE and NREL had cautioned me that reaching a 20 percent solar panel was a stretch, but this did not dampen my optimism that it would happen. I congratulate SunPower and its team of talented engineers on realizing this accomplishment."
SunPower expects to make the 20.4 percent efficiency solar panel commercially available within the next 24 months. The company plans to begin operating a U.S. panel manufacturing facility in 2010 using automated equipment designed and commercialized with SAI funding. SunPower recently announced the availability of the SunPower T5 Solar Roof Tile (T5), the first photovoltaic roof product to combine solar panel, frame and mounting system into a single pre-engineered unit. The T5 was also developed using research and development funds from the SAI.
"We are excited with the rapid pace in which we've been able to develop these advanced technologies," said Bill Mulligan, SunPower's vice president of technology and development. "Without the funding from the SAI, it would have taken us much longer to deliver both the world-record 96-cell solar panel and the innovative T5 Solar Roof Tile. We appreciate the DOE's continued support of the solar energy industry."
The Solar America Initiative is focused on accelerating widespread commercialization of clean solar energy technologies by 2015 and to provide the U.S. additional electricity supply options while reducing dependence on fossil fuels and improving the environment. It aims to achieve market competitiveness for solar electric power through government partnerships with industry, universities, national laboratories, states, and other public entities by funding new research and development activities.
