Broadwind Energy (BWEN) surprised a bit this morning posting a doubling of revenues over the year ago quarter and beating analyst estimates in the process with $43.5 million in revenues.  That’s good news for Broadwind and the wind energy industry as a whole, but the company still failed to turn a profit and posted a wider EPS loss than analysts expected (loss of .04, analysts expected .02/share loss.  Traders focused on the positive of this beaten down stock though as it closed up about 4% today.  The stock actually looks like it may be putting in a bottom, but that will likely depend on how they report next quarter.  Traders won’t accept red ink for too much longer.
