Winners
and losers: January 4th
- 1st February 2008
THE WINNERS
1.
Ceres
Power +21.72%
On
the 14th January, Centrica
acquired a 9.99% stake in Ceres Power and this
was approved
by shareholders on the 1st February.
2.
Climate
Exchange Plc +17.98%
On
the 15th January, Climate Exchange was able to
report major increases in annual trading volumes on
3 of its exchanges for 2007. The Chicago Climate Exchange
was up 123%, the European Climate Exchange up 129%
and the Chicago Climate Futures Exchange, up 881%.
3.
Emcore
Corp +17.69%
On
January 23rd, Emcore received additional orders
for its concentrated solar photovoltaic components
and systems in Spain. Collectively, the order is worth
$18m.
4.
Medis Technologies +17.68%
MT
has had quite a low media profile of late. It has
the first
mobile fuel cell for consumer use, but I have
yet to see let alone hear of anyone using them. The
company is working on a hybrid fuel cell system that
includes a very small lithium battery in the cable
to provide high peaks of power for short bursts of
time.
5.
Actelios
SPA +14.63%
Actelios,
an italian waste-to-energy and biomass-fuelled power
renewable energy utility, announced on the 11th
January, that the Sicilian projects were still
awaiting confirmation of the incentivization tariffs.
THE
LOSERS
1.
Sunopta
-53.06%
One
of SunOpta's 3 divisions, the Bioprocess Group is
involved in processing cellulosic raw materials into
ethanol. On the 24th
January, indications were provided for 2007 financial
results of revenues of slightly over $800m, a 34%
increase on 2006.
2.
Renewable
Energy Corp
-41.41%
On
Friday 18th January, during a four and a half hour
conference call, REC revealed that the proportion
of annual revenue spent on expansion costs would be
5% in 2008, compared to 2% in 2007 and that this would
result in a lower profit margin.
3.
DayStar
Technologies
-40.35%
DayStar
is at least partially suffering from the wider fall
out in alternative energy stocks that has been apparent
since mid-January. Unlike most solar companies though,
despite their cutting edge technology, they have no
revenue to show for Q3 2007, marking it out as a highly
speculative stock in a volatile sector.
4.
Yingli
Green Energy
-38.65%
On the 15th
January, Yingli shares sank following a report
by CFRA that the company was offering easy credit
to customers, suggesting that the revenue stream was
of poor quality.
5.
Verbio
Vereinigte Bioenergie Intl
-35.71%
As
I blogged earlier in the year, German biodiesel
companies are facing up to much tougher conditions
as the nation's biofuel subsidies are phased out.
