Auriga reiterates a 'Buy' on Daqo New Energy (NYSE: DQ), PT $22.

Auriga analyst says, "With polysilicon prices remaining stubbornly high, we are encouraged by management's confirmed intention to expand in higher margin polysilicon production. Our $22 target is 10x our 2012 EPS estimate of $2.20."

"Near-term polysilicon prices remain stubbornly high near $80/kg, unchanged since 4Q10 and indicative of its short supply despite the hiccup occurring in Italy. While we do expect prices to come down at some point, recent commentary from other management teams are now pointing to 2H11 as the most likely time when polysilicon prices start to decline when previously the expectation was 2Q11."
