Based on the offer price, the company is expected to raise 3.20 bln hkd. The retail tranche of China Agri-Industries Holdings' (606.HK) IPO has now been more than 1,000 times oversubscribed, the source said. A clawback mechanism has been applied and the total number of shares offered to retail investors has now been increased to 430.5 mln shares, representing 50 pct of the total number of shares offered, the source added. Listing of shares on the main board will start on March 21. Goldman Sachs (nyse: GS - news - people ) Asia has previously been appointed as sole global coordinator and sponsor of the IPO, as well as the deal's joint bookrunner, along with BOCI Asia Ltd @: |
Posted at 22/2/2007 02:41 by energyi [b]Alternative energy goes after investor dollars[/b]Executives tell big investors the cost of producing power in the sector is dropping. By Steve Hargreaves, CNNMoney.com staff writer ... February 21 2007: NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- Executives from some of the world's leading alternative energy companies argued their case to big investors Wednesday, outlining why money thrown into the red-hot sector will pay off. Much of the rationale centered around costs, which leaders of renewable energy firms contend are dropping at a breakneck clip. "We need to make sure solar is becoming cost effective compared to other energy sources," Erik Thorsen, president of the Norwegian solar firm Renewable Energy Corporation told the crowd at Piper Jaffray's second annual conference on investor opportunities in alternative energy. Thorsen said the company planned to cut silicon costs by 70 percent by 2010 by using less silicon in solar energy devices, combined with higher efficiency solar cells. Silicon costs have been a major hurdle to developing solar power, as the price of the material, which is also used in computer chips, has soared in recent years due to skyrocketing demand. California-based Applied Materials (Charts), which makes semiconductor production equipment and recently moved into making equipment for manufacturing solar power cells, also outlined strategies to reduce production costs. Applied Materials presented a solar panel design four times larger than current panels, basically something the size of a large garage door. The company said the design would save up to four times on costs associated with framing and connecting a solar set-up. Sunpower Corporation (Charts), also based in California, said it was looking at shaving 30 percent off installation costs, partly by designing solar panels that take the place of normal construction materials, like roofing tiles. Sunpower's executive, Tom Werner, also pointed to the massive potential of the electricity market, which he said was valued at over $1 trillion annually, and that the company is poised to take an ever larger share of that pie with each corresponding drop in solar's price. "The upside opportunity here is fantastic," said Werner. While there may be tremendous opportunity in investing in alternative energy companies, investors should always understand that the companies are often new and small, and can therefore be very volatile. Take ethanol darling Verasun (Charts), which debuted last summer at over $30 a share, quickly lost half it's value, rose to near $30 again, and now trades at $15. Among larger companies at Wednesday's conference, DuPont (Charts) outlined its emerging bio program, saying it is nearly ready to introduce a plant-based material that can replace petroleum-based plastics in things like carpet fiber, molded parts and packaging. John Ranieri, general manager of the company's bio-based materials division, said DuPont is also big in developing organisms that create ethanol or butanol, that later of which he said could be more promising than ethanol for certain fuels because it has a higher energy yield. In response to a question about when cellulosic ethanol might be cost effective, Ranieri said that "by 2010 we'll be looking at commercial possibilities." Piper Jaffray, a Minneapolis based investment bank, organized the conference to bring together what a spokeswoman said were top companies and the bank's clients, which include mutual funds, hedge funds, and other institutional investors. Other publicly traded companies presenting at the conference included MEMC Electronic Materials, Energy Conversion Devices, First Solar, Metabolix, Nova Biosource Fuels, The Andersons, Beacon power Corporation, Akeena Solar, Canadian Solar, Fuel Cell Energy, Active Power, Ormat Technologies, EMCORE Corporation, Medis Technologies, Suntech Power Holdings, Evergreen Solar, Active power, Altair Nanotechnologies, Ultralife Batteries, SatCon Technology Corporation, Power Integrations, Power-One, Spire Corporation and American Superconductor Corporation. @: |
Posted at 21/10/2006 07:57 by energyi Ethanol Stocks: Bouncing BackPosted on Oct 16th, 2006 with stocks: ADM, AVR, GPRE, MGPI, PEIX, VSE, XNL Konrad Imielinski submits: The current status of the ethanol sector may not be sizzling, but it sure isn't dead. So far, ethanol stocks this week have performed reminiscent of the good old days. The cumulative affect of Pacific Ethanol Inc.'s (PEIX) first plant being complete, and OPEC's decision (though still undecided) to cut output of 1 million barrels a day, have given the ethanol sector a strong push. As a result, the majority of the ethanol stocks are up big, and volume has significantly increased. It is obligatory, though, to carefully track the decline in crude oil prices (sold today near its 2006 low of $58 a barrel), as it can quickly turn ethanol's optimism to pessimism. There is some reassurance due to OPEC's proposition. As Gordon Kwan of CLSA puts it, "If [crude oil] prices remain at this level, there's still not much motivation to cut, but if prices keep falling rapidly they will want to pre-empt that." OPEC will help investors by essentially price flooring crude oil. So how much will OPEC's reduction raise the price of crude oil? Can ethanol companies systematically publish optimistic news? Both of these questions will be deciding factors in ethanol's sustainability. @: |
Posted at 14/3/2006 18:27 by energyi OLD ARTICLE - still relevant?Green energy funds: risky, but here to stay 04.11.2005 Best of the Day Article Why rising interest rates won't save the US dollar The US relies on China and Japan to keep interest rates low and the dollar high. But both countries look like they are set to stop buying dollars and start investing in their own economies. That means... For fund investors, there are now a number of specialist funds to choose from, including Impax Environmental Markets, Jupiter Ecology and the Merrill Lynch New Energy Technology investment trust. Triodos Group, a Dutch ethical bank which has been financing energy projects for 25 years, recently launched Triodos Renewables, a fund for private investors focused on the UK renewables sector, which is highly concentrated on wind technology. While the ethics of these companies and funds may be appealing, the risk/reward ratio may not be. The small, entrepreneurial companies that populate this sector are by their nature highly vulnerable to setbacks because they are often developing new technologies in untried markets. Merrill Lynch¡¦s fund, which has risen by more than 86% in the past year, but collapsed in value just two years ago, demonstrates this volatility. Impax Environmental Markets, an investment trust that invests in small and mid-cap firms, has outperformed the FTSE All-Share index since its launch in 2002, but this performance may not last. As Ian Simm, managing director of Impax Asset Management, points out, the investment trust tries to balance alternative energy with more established water and waste management technologies to mitigate the risk. On a positive note, it looks as though the sector is very much here to stay. The spate of recent Aim listings shows the choice for investors is widening and Government legislation is looking favourable. And, says Charles Batchelor in the FT, even some of the genuinely alternative technologies are becoming more mainstream ¡V such as wind farms. These can be an excellent investment, says Bernard Lambilliotte, chief investment officer at Ecofin, the financial group that runs Econfin Water and Power Opportunities, an investment trust whose shares have more than doubled over the past 12 months. There are risks when you have bought the land and are seeking a licence to operate, but once it¡¦s built and you are plugged into a grid, it¡¦s low risk, and should provide a rate of return in the low to mid-teens. @: Author: Hohler, Emily More articles by this author... |
