Vestas Wind Systems (VWSYF.PK)

i mean... let's face it... if you REALLY think about alternative energy, wind power just makes sense.

Largest wind turbine producer, solid technology, US presence, great company.

Obama want is investing our money, the house passed a measure and once the senate does so and Obama sign, the investment in this sector will continue. This is one of the strongest companies in wind industry, if not the strongest and they are about to open up shop in my backyard (Portland).

im in on wind here....

wind is wonderful

wind again son.

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.

VWSYF reflects direct ownership of shares in Vestas Wind Systems, incorporated in Denmark, while symbol VWDRY reflects the ADRs (American Depository Receipts) in Vestas. One ADR = 1/3 share. If you are buying in the US, you will probably want VWDRY because there is a more active market, although the prices of both stocks and ADRs rise and fall in tandem. By picking both in your CAPS account you are able to double up on the points this five star company makes for you.
Vestas Wind Systems is building wind farms in the US and internationally. It's U.S. market share is comparable to that of GE's wind power division; the two companies dominate the U.S. market. Vesta is profitable now, unlike many of its wannabe competitors, with a P/E just under 20. Vestas appears headed for substantially higher profits. Its wind generators produce power at one of the lowest costs per kilowatt/hour of any current technology. With government incentives in the U.S. and abroad supporting renewable energy, the rationale for owning this is strong. Even though the stock has doubled in the past 3 months, much upside remains.

Market leader in tomorrow's energy source. In 2020 this will be nearing $300.

Wind Power is set to grow rapidly worldwide in the next few years, so I'm snapping up stocks that are still close to their 52 week lows before the market realizes the long term value in this sector. I've already picked a few discount Wind ETFs, now it's time to add a few worthy specific stocks in this market for long term growth. The high outperform ratio is also a plus. It would have been better to pick this last month, but it should still perform well over the next 3-5 years.

Although oil will still be king for the forseeable future clean tech is already making inroads and should grow almost exponentially. Be it wind, solar, bio fuels or what ever, as a group they are only a small part of 1 percent of the total energy complex and will take years to make a significant dent in oil. Long term buy!!!

WIND

wind power

I have a long theory about utilities, wind power, peak electricity demand and the shift to electric cars. The short version, wind power increases at night which currently (sic) isn't desirable. I'm not sure everyone understands that their largest energy use is their vehicle. When politics shifts the combustion automotive engine to electric it may be enough to shift the peak demand periods. As consumers increasingly use electric cars they'll charge up overnight. Which will shift peak electric demand to the overnight hours. It'll make wind power more opportunistic. Besides all the favorable emissions stuff. Not much carbon, sulfur, nox or mercury in the wind, just dead birds. Also incredibly bullish for the utilities with limited or no coal exposure (FPL particularly).

Meh, I'm wrong more than I'm right.

Look at the chart looks like a solid winner

Under the Obama administration, there will be a steady high

priority placed on the development and installation of GREEN

elctric power generators. This time the Oil Barons and their lobbyists will NOT be able to sabotage the program. Wind Power

will come into its own; and VESTAS is already the World Leader.

The Vestas ADR (VWDRY) will see increased trading volume in the

next few months, and VWDRY should regain and then surpass its recent pre-recession stock high of $48.00 per share.

When that starts to happen, the CNN Money, Reuters, Schwab, CAPS, etc. services will suddenly "discover" Vestas, and start

issuing their "Outperform" ratings. LATE to the game, as usual!

This is as close to a no-brainer investment as you can find.

Most experienced maker of wind turbines. Will benefit from green energy bonanza.

when oil goes back up this stock is better than gold

Vestas is the worlds leader in wind turbines and will continue to be so. we are talking 25% growth in 2009. This is danish design for the new millenium.

I really believe that Ditlev Engel has done a good job.

But I think that an investment in the danish conglomerate Schouw og Co. ( http://www.schouw.dk/Home.267.aspx ) is a better investment for the long term investor. Schouw og Co. sold NEC Micon to Vestas and still own 4 mio. Vestas stocks. The company is well run, they are trading at a ridicules low P/E and have an exciting portfolio of companies, and even pays a 6.12% yield. What a bargain.

Schouw og Co. is trading at OMX Nordic Exchange.
