JinkoSolar (JKS)

Up 18% today on no news. I thought it was too cheap when it traded at $2.00, but I can't explain recent strength since it landed at $3.50. Maybe has something to do with LDK trouble, and provincial politics. Will Jinko as Jiangxi's other big solar benefit from the LDK situation?

Perhaps someone is putting out the offer. This could be the case. They all went up today hover. By the 10th CVD and AD results suppose to be out. It could be some pre-decision shuffle.

[Guest Uncle Chang]

JKS won't be affected by the decision, they only sold 16mw here last Q but all with outsourced Cells using their own Wafer. EU's decision in Febuary will have 3 month retroactive effects, that's why the Chinese have been busy dumping, I think they've finished that just before the Nation day holiday. The longer than expected shutdown during this holiday may also help with inventory build-up, it's reasonable they rally a little now along with the genral market. :love:

they sold a bit more on credit, receivable accounts up 44M, TSL paid 144M in accounts payable, wow.

[Guest Klothilde]

Holy smokes, only 47 cents processing cost and 59 cents production cost ! Any guess for the split? 12-13-22 for W-C-M ?

12-13-22 for W-C-M ?

Yes, that would be my guess too. Nice to achieve this already. I was looking for 48 cents by Q4.

[dydo 1,558]

A lot of companies are looking to go global and by assets. They are sensing things are turning around, and the bottom dollar will be rising.

http://finance.yahoo.com/news/jinkosolar-jointly-invest-develop-200-090000535.html 200 MW plant JV with SOE at 1.6 $/W investment. We see more and more of these JVs between panel suppliers and BOS suppliers. It takes some cash flow toll, since the revenue for your panels is basically a stake in a plant instead of cash, but it's a good way to generate revenue from current business structure while changing the future structure to more recurring or higher revenue as a plant owner or seller. Big plant nice cost. At that level if they get 13 cents per kwh the plant generates 12% IRR assuming average globe insolation. It's a quicker and more free buck if you can sell panels for cash in high ASP countries like Japan and USA though.

Interesting, 5% of the market share of 45GW business. That means double expansion plans Outside of the positive emerging markets, actual confirmation of disappearance of tier-2 and tier-3s. http://solarplaza.com/article/companies-that-survive-the-shakeout-set-for-big-re

[explo 706]

I hope they (big players chasing market-share) try to expand capacity through consolidation this time. Bargains will likely be better 1H than 2H of 2013.

[Guest sleepy]

My first post! I like the way Jinko was earlier than some of the others with the intention to expand downstream to projects. They seem to be looking for long term sustainable growth. I was wondering if their new bond sale was to finance some of these projects

[dydo 1,558]

welcome in! I am thinking more of the working capital but certainly to a degree some of it was used for financing. When you say new, you mean two quarters or so ago?

[Guest sleepy]

Thanks for the reply. I'm just going from a post on the yahoo jks board by mrsetion about new 800 yaun 6 year bond issue. I have seen no other links or reporting of this yet so I take it with a grain of salt. I have 10k shares of jks. Its my only solar holding. I 've accumulated over the past 16 months averaged around 6 dollars cost.

[Guest sleepy]

That was 800 million yuan of 6 year bonds.

[dydo 1,558]

I wrote about this in this article, This did not happen, or I have not seen this in the Q3 <p> https://solarpvinvestor.com/spvi-news/239-jinko-solars-first-quarter-highlights-financial-pressures <p> <p> Perhaps they issued something in Q4, but I am not aware.

[Guest sleepy]

Thanks Odyd12. Thats probably where this is comming from. I remember reading your article before and I considered it was just jinko attempting to restructure their debt for better long term rates as well as raising some additional capital. Its possible they are waiting for better solar outlook to get the bond sales to go the way they want. Maybe thats why we haven't heard anything yet. Thus the confusion I had.

Here it is: http://finance.yahoo.com/news/jinkosolar-announces-issuance-six-bonds-090000482.html Interest rate is 9%. Prior bonds financing has been cheaper for JKS if I remember correctly.

Arghhh...I sold a very large chunk of JKS to "rebalance", and put it into SOL. Lets hope that "undervalued" little brother to JKS (literally) finally takes off!

Jinko is planning to bump their Eagle module to 265W in mid 2013.

(excuse the pun) http://phx.corporate-ir.net/phoenix.zhtml?c=234421&p=irol-newsArticle_Print&ID=1786640&highlight= I quite like Jinko and Yingli's product offering and am a bit puzzled about their substantial resignation from the international markets competition to focus so much on the domestic market (being world's biggest Yingli still has significant international footprint though). In my understanding supplying utility segment in China cannot help margins, since you would have to bid very low on your module pricing, right? JASO and TSL are also increasingly committing to supply China. I'm I missing something? What's the board's take on this? Obviously with China being biggest installer now, that's going to soak up a lot of the supply to ease the competition on international markets. I'm just a bit surprised about which names took the easy utilization road here..

[Guest sony1]

Yes, you missed the train lol. They installed 200mw in China in H2 2012 and asp in those quarters was about on par with csiq I think, remember they save on shipping costs domestically, 2c or something. Btw China is the biggest market globally in 2013, Jinko has a very strong position there.

[Guest sony1]

asps in Europe are not much higher than China anymore after recent fit reductions, I believe.

[explo 706]

Yes, you missed the train lol.

Not really. I went almost all-in in JKS @ 2.19, but now I don't think the relative valuation is as attractive anymore. A lot of things are attractive, but not the change in stock price and geographic footprint. So you are saying that sales in China a la Jinko will have ASP on par with CSIQ sales in Canada, Japan and US? I've assumed the opposite and that we'll see that trend when Q4 is reported. Opex are saved by shipping to China, but I still have a hard time seeing it as an advantage over international shipment (I can see why it can be an advantage to no shipments and idle capacity). An valid explanation would be that ASP diff between China and other markets will narrow. This is a possibility. What does the board think? Understanding this is quite critical for picking the right names here, since some are very China exposed.

[Pop2mollys 417]

JKS is up 500% from lows.... Comparable to companies like CSIQ is only up half that and SOL is only up 150% from lows....
