Hanwha Solutions: Biggest Restructuring Measures in 50 Years
- On 23 September, Hanwha Solutions announced a set of restructuring measures which are probably the biggest ever moves by the company in the past 50 years.
- The spin-off of the Hanwha Galleria is a good move. Clearly, having both the renewable energy and a luxury department store business under one roof does not make much sense.
- We also like the company’s move expand its U.S. solar module production capacity. The total amount of potential benefit could be nearly US$2 billion over the next decade.
Growatt Technology IPO: The Bear Case
- Growatt Technology (1833969D CH), a leading PV inverters manufacturer, will seek a listing hearing for a US$1 billion HKEx IPO in October, according to press reports.
- In Growatt Technology IPO: The Bull Case, we highlighted the key elements of the bull case. In this note, we outline the bear case.
- The key elements of the bear case rest on rising customer concentration risk, high dependence on Brazil for growth, limited pricing power and a shift to FCF burn.
