While we maintain our $13 target and Buy rating on shares of Power-One (PWER),
Wednesday’s negative pre-announcement reminds us of PWER’s Italian exposure
and the current work stoppage in Italy that is likely to persist through the end of
Power-One, Inc. (PWER: $8.29) April. This does not affect our longer term view, but we lower 2011 sales and EPS
Buy estimates in-line with pre-announced 1Q11 sales and into the remainder of 2011.
Price Target: $13.00 Our target is 8x our unchanged 2012 EPS estimate of $1.68.

was not present in the CSI database, PWER applications have quickly
FINANCIAL AND EARNINGS DATA increased to a level suggesting it will challenge the top three later in 2011
– not bad from a standing stop four months ago.

Risks to the Stock Achieving Our Price Target


The PV industry relies upon government subsidies as a demand driver. Negative industry catalysts occur when subsidies are
reduced or withdrawn. Positive industry catalysts occur when new or enhanced subsidy programs are announced.

Fluctuations in the Euro exchange rate create volatility with respect to the individual business models. While most firms have
active hedging strategies, substantial movements could affect revenues and earnings adversely. 66% of our 2010 worldwide
demand model is derived from countries that use the Euro as currency.

Execution risk related to capacity expansion plans and an expansion of sales into North America. Risks including obtaining
sufficient financing through capital markets, construction delays, timely deliveries of equipment, and integration with current
operations.
