Hoku Scientific, Inc. (HOKU)

Today we are highlighting Hoku Scientific, Inc. (HOKU) here at the QualityStocks Daily Newsletter.

Hoku Scientific, Inc. is a clean energy technology company that operates three primary lines of business: Hoku Materials, Hoku Solar and Hoku Fuel Cells. Hoku Materials plans to manufacture, market, and sell polysilicon for the solar market from its plant currently under construction in Pocatello , Idaho while Hoku Solar provides turnkey photovoltaic systems. Hoku Fuel Cells develops proprietary fuel cell membranes. Earlier this month, the company landed a $284 million contract to supply polysilicon to Tianwei New Energy Wafer Co. of China. The contract lasts for 10 years and calls for Hoku to begin shipments in 2010.

That deal came just one week after Hoku announced a 10-year $298 million contract to supply polysilicon to China-based Jiangxi Kinko Energy, a manufacturer of silicon ingots, wafers and related products. Hawaii-based Hoku, founded in 2001, has been primarily focused on the fuel cell market, but has diversified its business as the demand for clean energy technologies has risen in recent years. The company's solar products division serves both commercial and residential customers.

Another deal was announced in June where Hoku's Hoku Solar unit will provide power systems to cargo and freight company Young Brothers. The agreement with Young Brothers calls for Hoku to operate a photovoltaic power system at Young's maintenance building for 20 years. Over the 20-year life of the contract, the power generated by the 224 kilowatt PV system is expected to offset more than 4,000 tons of carbon dioxide emissions.

Commenting on the agreement Glenn Hong, president of Young Brothers, stated, “This is a great partnership that allows Young Brothers to take advantage of renewable energy at a predictable rate, with no upfront costs. We are confident in Hoku's technical capabilities and their track record of success, and we look forward to building a long-term relationship with them.''

Hoku Materials plans to meet demands for its products from a plant that is currently under construction in Idaho . The company could be uniquely positioned to grow profits as demand from solar companies for polysilicon products rises in the coming years. Unfortunately for the purchasing solar companies, prices are expected to rise due to a shortage of polysilicon. In fact, in January 2008, Hoku stated that it believed its annualized revenue when running at its full 3,500 metric ton capacity and based on its existing supply agreements and polysilicon that was available for sale at that time, will be in the range of $180 million to $200 million per year and gross margins is expected to be in the range of 45% to 55%.

Today, Hoku Scientific, Inc. (HOKU) closed at $5.31 down $0.13 or 2.39 percent. Volume was 269,839 for a 3-month average volume of 429,268. The 52-week range for the stock is $4.02 to $14.88.
