FSLR 2Q10:

Beat on sales (541M$ expected, made 588M$)
Beat on earnings ($1.60 expected, made 1.84)
Raised FY EPS guidance to $7.20 midpoint
Manufacturing costs falling sharply, to $0.76/w (from $0.87/w year-ago)
Gross margin 48%, which no competitor can come anywhere near matching.
11.2% efficiency, continues slow uptrend.
Demand exceeds supply through end-2010.

2H demand in Germany strong, 6-8GW total in 2010, in spite of subsidy cuts.

valuation:
PE = 17 = (135 - 11)/7.20 = stock price minus cash/share divided by 2010 GAAP EPS
PEG = 0.68 = 17/25
