Deutsche Bank Punting Solar Stocks (CSIQ, ENER, FSLR, SPWRA, STP)

There is a sector downgrade from Deutsche Bank today in the solar sector.  Due to the rally from China’s stimulus package, the pre-market rally in stocks and oil prices, and the hopes that the Obama administration will juice the sector, most of these stocks are actually indicated higher in early pre-market trading: 

• Canadian Solar (NASDAQ: CSIQ) Cut to Hold from Buy.
• Energy Conversion Devices (NASDAQ: ENER) Cut to Hold from Buy.
• First Solar (NASDAQ: FSLR) Cut to Hold from Buy.
• Sunpower (NASDAQ: SPWRA) Cut to Hold from Buy.
• Suntech Power (NYSE: STP) Cut to Sell from Hold.

So far this round of downgrades is falling on deaf ears.
