Piper Jaffray Publishes Report on Cleantech and Renewable Energy

In its report, Piper Jaffray writes, “We believe potential Chinese solar import duties are likely a near-term positive for US based solar companies such as FSLR and SPWRA and for Comtec and a near term negative for Chinese stocks TSL, YGE, CSIQ, STP, GCL as well as US based WFR. On Friday, the International Trade Commission (ITC) determines whether the solar anti-dumping case goes forward and if so, could finalize possible duties by 4Q12.”

Companies included in the Piper Jaffray report are: First Solar Inc. (NASDAQ: FSLR), SunPower Corp. (NASDAQ: SPWRA), Trina Solar Limited (NYSE: TSL), Yingli Green Energy Hold. (NYSE: YGE), Canadian Solar Inc. (NASDAQ: CSIQ), Suntech Power Holdings (NYSE: STP), and MEMC Electronic Materials Inc. (NYSE: WFR)
