Standpoint Research initiates coverage on First Solar (NASDAQ: FSLR) with a Buy. PT $120.
The firm comments, "FSLR shares are now 70% off the (2008) all-time high of $311, 50% off the 52-week high from February and down 35% since early July. The shares are now trading at 14X trailing twelve months earnings, < 10X estimates for 2011 and just 8X the ($10.96) estimate for 2012. Even if estimates come down by 20% the shares are still attractive. Our $120 price target would be 12X a conservative $10 EPS estimate for 2012-2013. The upside to our target is 36% and that conservative price target is looking out 12-24 months … the shares traded there (at $120) just seven weeks ago.
