LDK Solar issued the following statement regarding the U.S. Department of Commerce's, or DOC, final determination on Oct. 10 to impose countervailing duties, or CVD, of 15.24% and anti-dumping duties, or AD, of effectively 25.96% on LDK's crystalline silicon photovoltaic modules and cells produced exclusively in China. CEO Xiaofeng Peng commented: "Given the accomplishments and the success of the entire solar industry during the last several years, we strongly regret the DOC's ultimate decision. This determination will not change our strategy in developing markets worldwide. We believe that unilateral trade barriers will not make any solar company more competitive, but will make solar power less competitive against other forms of electricity generation. The growth of destructive trade barriers recently from the U.S. represent significant, long-term challenges to the health of the global solar industry and countervail with the industry's aim to make solar power affordable for everyone." According to the decision, solar modules produced in China containing solar cells originating from a third country are not subject to CVD and AD tariffs. The determination by the Department of Commerce is subject to final confirmation from the U.S. International Trade Commission, or ITC, which is expected by the end of November 2012. | |

Solar stocks are retreating after a leading company in the sector, First Solar (FSLR), reported lower than expected first quarter earnings per share and said that it would generate more earnings in the second half of 2013 than in the first half of the year. WHAT'S NEW: First Solar reported lower than expected EPS and said it expected its earnings to be higher in the second half of the year than in the first half due to the timing of revenue recognition from a number of projects. Previously the company had expected to generate higher earnings in the first half of the year. However, First Solar reaffirmed its previous fiscal 2013 EPS guidance range of $4.00-$4.50 and disclosed that it was working on "sizable" opportunities in Africa, ANALYST REACTION: In a note to investors this morning, Deutsche Bank analyst Vishal Shah wrote that First Solar's results and guidance were weak.
