“We continue to profess that shares of Jinko Solar are underpriced and that there is significant upside to our $23 price target. In short, we believe our competitors’ estimates for 2010 and 2011 have been haircut meaningfully, and that the underlying profitability in the JKS business model is masked by the Street consensus. Our recent checks suggest that demand remains strong and that Q2 shipments should be up modestly. In addition, we believe that with the recent expansion in capacity, shipments will grow meaningfully in both Q3 and Q4; our estimates are high-on-the-Street.”

Shares of JKS are trading up about 2% today.
