5N Plus is a company that specializes in rare and critical minerals, playing a vital role in the production of components for solar panels and satellites. The company has secured significant contracts, particularly with a leading U.S. solar firm, positioning it well within a sector that is experiencing a resurgence due to declining prices and increasing demand for solar products. Experts highlight the limited competition in the niche market where 5N Plus operates, suggesting that it has significant potential for revenue and earnings growth. With a growing customer base, including major clients like First Solar (FSLR), 5N Plus appears to be on a trajectory of continuous expansion, bolstered by favorable market conditions.

BUY

It is a very interesting company involving rare and critical minerals from other parts of the world. It provides some components for satellites and solar panels so there is good growth in the end markets. It has a big contract with one of the big US solar companies. Not a lot of competition globally.

BUY

Big customer is FSLR in the US. Revival in solar products, becoming more attractive as prices have come down. Numbers continue to ramp up. Still room to expand on revenue and earnings. It is a very niche product.

WATCH

Based in Montreal. Supply specialty semiconductors and performance materials. Customers such as a manufacturer of solar panels. FSLR in the US, one of VNP's biggest customer, guided down. Stock dipped. Need to get a handle on tariff impact. Not growthy enough for him.

WATCH
Volatile. Not easy to understand. Engineered materials mainly for the solar industry. They've diversified. A recent acquisition may be transformative, wait and see. Hold if you own it. He's revisiting it. He prefers NEO, as a cheap way to play the EV market.
TOP PICK

5.75% June 30/19. Rare earths and metals. Short term (5 years). A little over 6% yield now.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Short Jan 27/12. Up 55.89%.) Supply materials and components into the solar sector. Solar sector relies on subsidies and is not economic without it. He is pretty much out of this one now.

PAST TOP PICK

(Top Pick Aug 26/11, Down 79.18%) Did a massive acquisition that didn’t work out. Should be good opportunities for lead free paint in Europe next year. It will still be tough sledding for the company, which is why he sold it 8 months ago for a 28% loss.

DON'T BUY
He is still short the stock. The problem with this company is the balance sheet. Made a major acquisition of some of the raw materials that go into the solar supply chain but took on a significant amount of debt. Solar industry has been in serious decline.
TOP PICK
Top Short Solar business has just been a disaster in the last year. This company provides components and some of the raw materials into this sector. Collapsing prices and subsidies disappearing. Cheap natural gas is a clean alternative to solar. Have a lot of debt.
TOP PICK
Originally specialized in tellurium and cadmium telluride the core guts of what is used in solar cells. Acquired a company in April, which diversifies them into other industry products. Just reported earnings, which were very significant. Sales growth up over 460%. 15% ROE. Dirt cheap.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Mar 24/09. Down 9.31%.) Still a Buy.
DON'T BUY
Solar energy space is interesting but is a bit pricey and he is not interested in playing this area today.
TOP PICK
Primary material supplier to First Solar. There are other potential customers lining up. There virtually have no competition. Tremendous balance sheet, lots of cash.
BUY
(Market Call Minute.) They supply cadmium telluride, the key material to First Solar (FSLR-Q). Thin-film variety of solar technology and has no silicon in it.
HOLD
Their biggest customer just came out with good earnings, so this stock jumped also. That customer really wants some alternate sources so there will be other competitors coming into the picture.
