The aim of this fortnightly
newsletter is to complement the news-based website,
with a primary focus on price-based information over
the previous fortnight and to advise of forthcoming
company announcements (see bottom).
Winners and
losers: 18th May - 8th June
2007
THE WINNERS
1.
Camco lnternational +29.93%
Camco
can look back on a fortnight that included a GBP 650,00
consultancy contract to advise 45 UK municipal authorities
on reducing carbon emissions and a shot in the arm
for carbon trading following the G8 summit in Germany.
2.
Medis
Technologies +27.54%
In
early May, MyTreo.net (a hub for trendy treo
smart phones) pre-ordered Medis portable fuel cell
packs to power their Treo phones. These will be available
to consumers from June 15th from http://mytreo.net/store/product.php?xProd=1235
and eyes are focussed on whether this product which
has been so long in development can actually shift.
3.
Geodynamics
+26.15%
Australian
Geothermal companies including Geodynamics were all
lifted by the announcement of the Labour Opposition
leader, Kevin Rudd, who promised to give AUD 50 million
to the geothermal sector, if elected.
4.
Distributed
Energy Systems +23.53%
On
the 5th June, DES received USD 12.5m in funding from
Perseus L.L.C.. In exchange, the DES issued Perseus
with 12.5% senior secured promissory notes which will
mature on March 1st, 2008. DES also issued Perseus
with a 5 year warrant for up to nearly 8 m shares
at an exercise price of USD 0.80.
5.
Ecosecurites
Group +21.30%
As
well as the boost from the G8 to carbon trading in
general, Ecosecurities can point to a growing portfolio
of more than 15 million credits, most recently expanded
in Africa
and Dubai.
THE
LOSERS
1.
Biofuels
Corp -28.13%
Biofuels
Corp is fighting for its life to stave off bankruptcy.
Banking facilities have been rolled over to December
31st. The company's debt stands at GBP 100 million.
2.
Solarfun
Power Holdings -24.45%
Solarfun
may have come just a little too late to the Chinese
PV IPO party. There are concerns that supply may start
to exceed demand sooner rather than later. See this
April 22nd article by Herb Greenberg on how Chinese
solar stocks may burn investors. See below 2 further
Chinese solar stocks that have had bad times over
this period.
3.
Australian
Biodiesel Group -21.84%
ABG
is a commercial manufacturer of biodiesel fuel and
a supplier of proprietary biodiesel production technology
to licensee partners. Their
annual presentation on May 28th had some positive
highlights such as a quadrupling of production and
revenue and profitability expected by 2008, but left
a pessmisitic aftertaste in blaming unfavourable commodity
price movements, regulatory retreats and other challenges
for growing losses.
4.
China
Sunergy
-21.65%
China
Sunergy rose over 50% on its late May trading debut.
And yet it has since fallen back to become one of
the worst performers. There
are some worries that the late entrants and smaller
players from the Chinese solar world will not necessarily
be as profitable as their larger, more mature brethren.
5.
Trina
Solar
-19.33%
One
of the most volatile stocks tracked on AEI since its
IPO late last year, Trina has been dropping off since
late April. Q1
results announced on May 21st were good, but expectations
were simply higher. The Company expects to ship between
75 MW to 80 MW of modules for the full year 2007.Trina
believes it has a strong position in terms of polysilicon
supply, having signed contracts for 90% and 60% of
its 2007 and 2008 feedstock requirements, respectively.
