commoditized, competition in China will

solar demand in China.

available shares are
being shorted.

revenue will come in at
$289 million.

earnings per share will
come in at $0.40.

commoditization isn’t
once again taking

down.

company will report
revenue of $797 million.

What to Really Watch

available shares are

What to Really Watch
1. As with any pricey
stock, guidance will be
very important.

time talking about the
stock’s performance.

that they aren’t focused
on what they can
control.
