Cracking figures; excellent prospects; miles to go!

The company has said it is transitioning away from supplying lower-margin spot contracts towards longer-term, higher margin contracts but with slower receivables. So the reduction in net debt should understate the company’s improvement in liquidity - ie more resources are tied up in working capital for a few months, but will soon generate lots of cash flow.

Cheers tim000 - so OPG have actually not just exceeded, but smashed expectations....

[tim000] 14/5/2024 06:35

Cavendish were forecasting adj EBITDA of £12mn and net debt of £16.1mn.

[rivaldo] 14/5/2024 06:27

Lovely:

"the Company expects to report FY24 revenues and EBITDA of no less than £160 Mn and £16 Mn, respectively, exceeding market expectations"

Plus net debt is down to a measly £12m.

Could be a big move up here.

India’s power consumption grew 11% oya in April.

I guess the recent upturn in share price is associated with weakening coal prices. IC4 prices are back down to around $54/t, having been around $59/t recently.

[rivaldo] 01/5/2024 11:42

Good to see a buyer paying the full 11p offer price just now. A bit of strength here at present, with the bid price up to 10.75p.

A bit of volatility there for you chalky just at the close :)

In time for the weekend!

[chalky] 19/4/2024 08:01

There is so much volatility in this share, I can't stand the stress.

If they are retaining the debentures (c.£10m) - then it would be interesting to know what interest they will be receiving and when these are repayable

[chalky] 21/3/2024 09:18

I think continuous updates means twice a year if you're lucky, they don't spread the info much, only when they have to.

[tim000] 21/3/2024 08:28

I haven’t looked at the balance sheet recently, but I assume the solar assets sale results in a reduction in either investments held for sale, or non-current assets, plus a reduction in debt held within the solar businesses.

[tim000] 21/3/2024 08:24

Strategy to date has been deleveraging. Continuous updates sounds as if they have something else in mind, such as asset acquisitions. There’s no need for continuous updates on just deleveraging.

[rivaldo] 21/3/2024 08:15

Good to see the buying price increase steadily this morning from 10.8p to almost the full 11p offer after this morning's solar disposal news.

The closing comment sounds encouraging:

"Our business remains robust and we look forward to provide continuous updates on progressing our strategy within the Indian energy sector."

[rivaldo] 13/3/2024 10:53

Cheers tim000, all positive stuff..

[tim000] 13/3/2024 09:54

India’s electricity consumption grew by 8.0% in February - a fairly average rate for the FY as a whole. So no shortage of demand.

[tim000] 13/3/2024 09:49

I guess OPG still sources most of its coal from Indonesia. Publicly available data suggest the relevant grade of Indonesian coal has been trading at around $58 per tonne for a while, although general commentary is that Indonesian coal is plentiful and its prices have been falling.

[rivaldo] 13/3/2024 09:45

The price of coal has fallen nicely recently after a bounce in early March:



At the start of 2023 the coal price was almost $360/T, and a year ago it was $178 - now it's down to $130.

Which surely has to be terrific for OPG's margins?

[rivaldo] 04/3/2024 08:05

Good to see a 50k buy on the bell this morning causing an early tick up.

[dave4545] 29/2/2024 11:15

What a ffing surprise cenkos drop and no delayed sale...never ending manipulation

[dave4545] 29/2/2024 08:07

Crazy these markets though.

Companies one by one needing to raise are doing fundraises at very low prices and yet any company that makes money and generates cash is also being shunned.

This should be flying but people are selling through boredom...mental

[tim000] 26/2/2024 11:22

There’s no guarantee of an update before the end of the FY, although that’s not too long now.

[dave4545] 26/2/2024 10:33

Yeah but the mm's have no reason to move up because just when it finally looks promising people come along and go hey I'll help you out mr mm and give you stock.

Just wish the company would issue the update out in India.

[jeffian] 26/2/2024 10:20

dave, if we had £1 for every time you said you do not understand why this share is not performing as you expect/want, we'd all be millionaires!
