Vestas is the biggest, most experienced, most cost-effective player in the wind industry, which is arguably at the forefront of the renewable energy sector being pushed so blatantly (and with good reason) by many world powers. Their margins are good, balance sheet strong, low debt, smart management. At a P/E of about 19 the stock is getting closer to what I would expect it to level out at for the near future, but ROE is 30% and gross margins are 20% for 2008 - there is a lot of upside potential in coming months/ years.
