What the manager wrote
Only after digging in do you uncover the real story. One such name this year was Canadian Solar (CSIQ). Ordinarily, a solar stock wouldn’t even make our list. But as I dug deeper, a few things stood out: (1) Solar has quietly become the cheapest source of power in many places around the world (without subsidies), (2) Panel manufacturing remains brutally competitive, but the stronger players are shifting toward full systems (including batteries), (3) Canadian Solar had a JV with Blackrock to build a power company, and (4) while Canadian Solar has most of its manufacturing in China, it was founded by a Canadian engineer who understands governance and transparency. What ultimately pushed us to take a position was the valuation: the company was trading at roughly a quarter of its sum-of-the-parts (SOTP) value.
