Is Hokus Polysilicon Operation Takeover Bait?
Concerns about climate change, energy security and ever-shrinking conventional resources are very much on everyone’s mind these days. Policymakers’ shifting commitment to embracing renewable technology bodes well for the future of alternatives. So despite the still-sagging economy, green players are jockeying for dominance in the world of New Energy. A company that could find itself an acquisition target of one of these ambitious concerns is the polysilicon arm of Honolulu-based Hoku Scientific Inc. (Nasdaq: HOKU), a once compelling small-cap growth story. The diversified cleanteach outfit operates in three segments: Hoku Solar is engaged in the market, sale and installation of photovoltaic systems in Hawaii; Hoku Fuel Cells develops proprietary hydrogen fuel cell components; and its Hoku Materials subsidiary produces polysilicon, the raw material used to make solar panels. Over the years Hoku Scientific has forged strategic relationships with some big names—like Sanyo Electric Co. Ltd
