This summary was created by AI, based on 3 opinions in the last 12 months.

5N Plus (VNP-T) is a promising company that operates in the niche market of rare and critical minerals, significantly contributing to the solar panel and satellite component sectors. With its recent acquisition of a space business in 2021, which has proven to be highly successful, the company is positioned well to benefit from the increasing demand for solar energy solutions, particularly as it has secured a major contract with a leading US solar company. Experts note that the company is sold out of solar panels through 2029, indicating strong market demand. As the government and industries recognize the potential of outer space and renewable energy, 5N Plus is expected to see continued growth, supported by a significant customer base including large US entities. Overall, the company’s EBITDA multiples suggest a strong future outlook amidst limited global competition.

CSIQ
PARTIAL BUY
This is one that he has struggled with because it is one of the best exposed companies for the solar industry but is a little bit expensive on an earnings basis. If you believe that the industry will grow at 30% or 50% per year for the next 10 or 20 years, which he does, this company will definitely prosper. Wouldn't make it an overweight holding.
BUY
Not part of his database. Analysts are expecting 40% growth going forward for the solar industry. Provide product to First Solar (FSLR-Q), which has the lowest cost per watt. New European plant delayed but expected to come on stream in June. First Solar has a new plant coming on in 6 months, which should help dramatically. Biggest risk is their single customer reliance. Speculative.
BUY
Company appears to be doing well. The solar sector is exciting but it is a highly speculative sector. There will be massive moves occurring on rumours. This would be his favourite in this sector.
TOP PICK
Solar panel play. Has an earnings potential of $.60 over the next 12 to 18 months. They are already profitable. Biggest customer is First Solar (FSLR-Q). Growing at 200% per year. Have a new application going into “phase change memory” to replace “flash memory” so they have a whole new market next year that could be just as big as solar.
TOP PICK
Take rare metals and refine them to a very high purity. Use them in solar panels as well as LED and Imaging technologies. Sales were up 39% last quarter, year-over-year. Gross margins went up 500 basis points and the net margin after tax was 18%. Now partnered with First Solar (FSLR-Q), which is building plants globally for solar panel production.
WAIT
Solar panel play. Got in on the IPO. Putting a plant in Germany along with the one they have in Quebec. Has done exceedingly well in just a few trading days and he has been taking some profits. Multiple is around 25X. Would wait for something down around six dollars.
