After losing something like $2 billion U.S. over the past few years, the board brought in new management to turn the company around. On $1.6 billion less revenue, the company almost turned a profit, shaving losses to less than 90 million EUR.

The key? Shutting down 1/3 of its factories while improving efficiency to still meet demand, saving about 480 million EUR annually. Also, sold off tooling business to a German company that will leverage the assets much better, allowing Vestas to still utilize them as a customer.

Yes: The company did a stock offering to raise cash, but it's only about 3% dilution and cheaper than debt so it's smart and minimally harmful to investors.

Foolish Bottom Line?

The company has a great reputation around the globe for their products, and I believe that they will grow their business faster than the wind market, as they take more market share from GE and Siemens over the next 5 years. And remember, the stock is still less than half its peak price. Lots of upside.
