Hoku Scientific, the first Hawaiian company to be listed on the Nasdaq, receives high praise indeed from Zack's Buy List, citing " . . . exceeded earnings estimates in four consecutive quarters and has reported a profit in six straight quarters. One analyst raised his numbers for this year. Over the past month, this year's estimates have increased 25%".

And yet, this company is 64% down on 1 year ago !

I've got my doubts about Hoku being a fuel cell developer and a solar business. Perhaps like many fuel cell companies, Hoku has just found it very tough to bring a product to market.
