Hapoalim Securities downgrades Yingli Green Energy (NYSE: YGE) to Sell
Hapoalim analyst says, "After updating our model to include: (1) higher ASPs (inline w/ YGE's guidance),(2) higher shipments (above YGE's guidance), & (3) lower poly-Si sourcing costs (which implies YGE works thru the majority of its excess poly-Si inventory), we are still below the Street for C3Q09; given our analysis suggests consensus is underestimating YGE's minority interest & OPEX expenses, we see risk of neg. EPS revisions on the horizon...Despite a number of aggressive new assumptions/updates to our bottom-up YGE segment model (i.e., higher ASPs, higher shipments, quicker costs saves, & capacity ramping to 900MW in CY10), we are still notably below consensus EPS ests for C3Q09, CY09, & CY10; in short, where our model diverges from the Street is in our forecasts for YGE's minority interest & OPEX expenses in 2H09/CY10, as well as the company's CY10 ASPs; given YGE's share price outperformance YTD (+99.8% YTD vs. +18.3% for S&P 500), we see outsized risk to the company's forward valuation multiple ahead of Friday's (11/13/09) pre-market earnings report."
