Posted at 04/3/2025 07:59 by indiestu It's not great but it's not a disaster. It's a small discount and they need the cash to get the Malaysia factory over the line. They say they will return the cash when they are in a position to do so. XPP will be at the front end of the semi cycle. So it would be reasonable to assume they will benefit early when the next technology cycle begins. I see TMSC are to invest 100 billion in US fabs. If the UK dodges tariffs it could get interesting. At least they are giving shareholders the option to participate. I quite like the boards proactive action here. Better than to use expensive debt refinancing. |
Posted at 04/3/2025 07:32 by alotto Not good, xpp will go a lot cheaper before a recovery. I don't understand how xpp can struggle amid a booming semiconductor/chip market. |
Posted at 11/1/2025 12:09 by 1knocker I have just looked in here to see if I had missed anything on XPP over the past few months - nothing much seems to be happening with the company, but I see some stuff on EVs.I drive a turbo diesel, 8 years old, bought second hand 5 years ago, trouble free (touch wood), 600+ miles on a tank, £0 road tax [when it was new less than a decade ago, presumably the government thought diesel was the way to save the planet], and if it follows the path of its predecessors it will last 15 years and 200,000 miles (and then it will be the bodywork not the engine which goes). Insurance is modest too, compared with an EV of anything like equivalant performance. My only concern is that when it does have to be replaced I won't be able to buy anything similar. Car manufacturers are hit with penalties if they fall below a prescribed % of EVs in their sales mix. Customers want ICEs, the manufacturers have them to sell, but they have to withhold them (depressing total sales) in order to keep their EV % over the threshold to avoid penalties. Result: Customers can't get the new cars they want, and manufacturers re closing their UK plants. It is doing wonders for the ICE used market though. Not sure how much good it is going to do the planet if we all have to keep ICE vehicles going beyond what was previously regarded as their economic (and clean) life. Rather like Germany, where the failure of ill-considered 'green' policies has resulted in a return to burning the world's dirtiest and most polluting coal! Congestion and low emission zone penalty charges are another way of artificially promoting EVs, by penalising the much better ICEs. I would not mind if the use of private EVs rather than ICEs was good for the planet, but it is not. EVs are a crazy way to 'go green'. The energy (in the case of mining, mainly diesel), carbon dioxide, and environmental cost of producing the huge amounts os of copper, lithium (and other nasties) which gos into their manufacture is far greater than for ICE. As most EVs are used for short run, low milage, town use and spend most of their lives parked, most will probably never recoup that energy deficit is fossil fuel saved during their working lives. At best it will be marginal. A very poor use of the copper, lithium etc they contain, which could have saved far more diesel/carbon dioxide if it had been used in applications where it would have sbeen 'working many hours rather just minutes every day. Even a wind turbine (which takes a decade or more to save as much fossil fuel /carbon dioxide as went into its construction) works 24 hours a day provided that the wind blows, and even in calm spells works a hell of a lot more hours in the day than any private EV runs. |
Posted at 15/10/2024 08:40 by indiestu This mornings trading update from DSCV was positive stating a stabilisation in order intake and a strong recovery in design wins. The share price has rallied above the 50 day MA accordingly, hopefully it can hold. A little off topic but it bodes well for a recovery in the general electronics sector and XPP in particular. |
Posted at 10/10/2024 06:37 by indiestu That's a great question alotto. Over the last few years as an electrical engineer I have experienced the massive technology advances in many sectors that require increasingly vast amounts of electricity to operate. AI, EV's, Crypto mining, desktop CPU's and GPU's, medical, military. In the last year the focus has turned towards power efficiency as a realisation is dawning that there is insufficient electricity to fulfil all these requirements. I feel the price of PSU's will increase as the efficiency improves so the sell won't be the cheapest supplier at book cost but the cheapest supplier over the lifetime of the product. XPP just need to keep competing on quality and lifetime cost. I have a wider vision of the future that electricity will become further commoditised, traded with greater liquidity much like oil and this vision is playing out. You already have the ability to sell back excess power to the grid from your EV and purchase at off peak times. Large scale battery storage is the next step towards fully commoditising electricity. I continue to research and invest in the space but its still immature. |
Posted at 08/10/2024 07:22 by alotto I don't understand the struggle in the electronic industry. It is what it is but XPP seems on the path of recovery.I hope the dividend will be maintained and covered by earnings. |
Posted at 06/8/2024 06:34 by alotto Market cap reflects sentiment of future earnings, not past or current.XPP is suffering a slowdown in all of his core businesses, but I wouldn't say that this is the new norm for xpp. The market may look positively at the actions taken to manage debt, costs and stock. I'm baffled about the slowdown in semiconductors though. Especially when we are bombarded with news on how well the likes of NVidia and Taiwan Semi are doing. |
Posted at 21/5/2024 12:49 by valhamos Red, that "blunder" happened in 2017 and the semi-cap industry has always had these cycles of periodic downturns. The better companies (and inevitably they are in the US) manage for this by having cash on the balance sheet. Instead of building up cash XPP continued to pay out dividends for years - I guess it was just following the UK investment culture with its emphasis on dividends but this culture is ruining the UK stock market. |
Posted at 21/5/2024 11:57 by redartbmud Xpp made a blunder with the two guys 'introducing' their IP that belonged to a third party and it cost them $40m in court.Then tht industry slump hit - and they had paid a big divi. They raised as much cash as they could with the rights and cancelled dividends going forward. Orders remain subdued for the present. The bid is opportunistic on that basis, but they are merging cpacity and revenue in a market that may not recover until 2025 - according to the experts. red |
Posted at 21/5/2024 11:50 by valhamos XPP refers to "a series of highly conditional, opportunistic, indicative proposalsfrom Advanced Energy" which "fundamentally undervalues the company and its prospects" It certainly gives AEIS the opportunity to buy out a strong competitor in the important semiconductor capital equipment market on the cheap. And it is extremely opportunistic because we all know that sector is expected to rebound strongly in 2025. AEIS is struggling just as much as XPP while we wait for this recovery. Apart from its greater size, where AEIS has scored is by not paying out much of its profits as a dividend, thereby building up a nice amount of cash on its balance sheet. In contrast XPP rather naively paid out silly amounts in dividends and did not put aside enough for a rainy day and therefore overreached itself. If we do get a formal offer from AEIS then I expect a bidding war; any take out price needs to be a lot, lot higher imo. |
