The "Chart of the Day" is Cree (CREE), which showed up on Friday's list of stocks that had a new "Buy" signal from the Barchart "TrendSpotter" trading system. Cree last Wednesday through Friday rallied sharply to a 2-month high from oversold levels on heavy volume and posted a big outside week up. The plunge in Cree seen over the past year has brought the stock down to levels that may be attractive for a company that represents one of the few pure-plays in the LED lighting space. In recent news on the stock, Morgan Stanley last Thursday upgraded Cree to Overweight from Underweight and raised its target to $40 from $28 due to an acceleration in LED adoption and pricing power. Cree last Tuesday reported fiscal Q4 EPS of 28 cents versus the consensus of 27 cents. Jefferies last Wednesday lowered its price target for Cree to $38 from $46 due to weaker-than-expected fiscal Q1 guidance, but said the stock is one of its top picks in the cleantech space and that it has the best balance sheet in the cleantech space with $1.1 billion in cash and no debt. Cree, with a market cap of $3.7 billion, is a market-leading manufacturer of semiconductors that enhance the value of solid-state lighting, power and communications products by significantly increasing their energy performance and efficiency.
