Hottest Chinese Solar Stock: Yingli Tops Poll
NEW YORK (
) -- When we asked readers' to give us their pick for best Chinese solar stock this week, the masses came through to the tune of nearly 6,100 votes cast.
Thus, with a sizable sample to study, here are some results to pass the time over the Labor Day weekend.
Coming in fifth, fourth and third, are the trifecta of
Trina Solar
(TSL)
,
LDK Solar
(LDK)
and
JA Solar
(JASO)
, which pulled in 10.1%, 12.8% and 13.4% of the vote, respectively.
That left
Suntech Power
(STP)
and
Yingli Green
(YGE)
to duke it out for the top spot. Yingli Green, not surprisingly, took this week's crown with 35.1% of the vote.
On Friday, Yingli Green tracked up with most of the solar sector, adding 39 cents, or 3.4%, to close at $11.83. Since Monday, American depositary shares have put on 7.4%, though they've also gained a whopping 94% since the beginning of the year.
