Equity Bottom-Up

Since its shares peaked just before Christmas 2015, Taiwanese conductive paste maker <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/4507" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:4507">Gigasolar Materials Corp</a> ('GSM', 3691:TT) has endured a difficult six months.First there were concerns about the scale of Chinese solar feed-in-tariff (FIT) reductions later this year, which could potentially hurt medium-term Chinese solar demand. Next, an industrial accident at a Japanese supplier of raw materials in early January led to fears of reduced sales of silver paste for GSM. We believe both of these issues have been adequately resolved, and that slower Sales and earnings momentum in 2016 has been priced in as GSM's shares fell from NT$750 on December 21st to as low as NT$449 earlier this month.We now view GSM as an inexpensive play on the rising adoption of solar energy. Investors should seek to accumulate shares below NT$480 per share on the expectation of a bottoming of Sales growth in H2 2016e and improved earnings growth in 2017e. Our price target is NT$660, based on 15x 2017e EPS.
