Winners
and losers: 4th April -
2nd May 2008
THE WINNERS
1.
Australian
Renewable Fuels +62.50%
On
the 18th April, ARF signed a five-year biodiesel
supply deal to a Western Australian Resource Company.
The deal amounts to 5 million litres of biodiesel
a year rising to a target volume of 7.5 m litres.
On the 26th
April, ARF was rumoured to be seeking a a rights
issue and the stock has since emerged from a trading
suspension.
2.
Torrens
Energy +58.33%
Prior
to the arrival of a new government in Australia, geothermal
stocks performed very well in anticipation of more
favourable support from Kevin Rudd. Since then, there
has been some fallback, now recovering on news that
geothermal exploration is going ahead. On
April 28th, Australia added 19 new exploration
areas for geothermal expansion.
3.
China
Biodiesel +39.13%
On
the 21st April, China Biodiesel, a stock that
had suffered last year, reported a sizeable fall in
its full year pretax profit due to increased raw material
costs, down to 16.79 million renminbi, but increased
sales from biodiesel by 23.24 %.
4.
Xantrex
Technology +38.32%
Canada-based
Xantrex, who make inverters for solar and wind electricity
generators, on April
29th announced a Q1 profit of $541,000 compared
with a loss a year ago. Sales were also 50% up to
$62m in the three months ended March 31st.
5.
Eden
Energy +36.21%
On
the 30th
April, Eden Energy posted its Q3 2008 results
which showed progress in coal bed methane and a hythane
dispensing station in India, as well as plans to float
its geothermal assets as Terratherma
on the Australian Stock Exchange.
THE
LOSERS
1.
Millennium
Cell
-62.47%
On
23rd April, MC received a Nasdaq Staff Determination
indicating that the Company failed to comply with
the minimum bid price requirement for continued listing
on the Nasdaq.
2.
PowerFilm
Solar
-56.08%
Powerfilm is having a bad year so far, as some of
the hype about solar stocks has been bringing its
capitalisation down to earth. Annual
2007 results announced in March anticipated continued
profitability and growth going forward into 2008,
"albeit below current market expectations".
3.
CMR
Fuel Cells
-40.62%
On
the 1st May, CMR's CEO announced that their cash
reserves of GBP 8m should be sufficient for planned
operations until 2010. The annual
report released earlier in April, showed a decline
in the value of the assets, including cash to the
previous year.
4.
D1
Oils
-31.58%
On
April 19th, worries grew that D1 Oils was not
yet ready for a recovery. Within the results was the
news that some of the Jatropha plantations were written
off - about 50,000 hectares.
5.
Prometheus
Energy
-30.77%
Prometheus
Energy is awaiting
a de-listing on May 13th, from the London Stock
Exchange.
