Was haltet ihr von American Superconductor?

Jetz gehen Übernahmegerüchte rum... es sollen $47/Aktie im Gespräch sein..
American Superconductor (AMSC) shares are getting a lift today from rumors that the company might be a takeover target for ABB (ABB) , the Swiss utility construction company formerly called Asea Brown Boveri. I suppose that makes sense on the surface; AMSC designs wind turbine systems, provides “smart grid” technology and sells electrical control systems. TheFlyOnTheWall.com says the rumor is that ABB will bid $47 a share. TheFly notes that last month there were rumors of a bid from General Electric (GE).
DEALTALK-Wind power puts American Superconductor in play
By Bhaswati Mukhopadhyay and Bijoy Koyitty
BANGALORE, Oct 12 (Reuters) - The allure of a bigger share of the fast-growing wind power market might force larger engineering companies to target American Superconductor Corp, a maker of electrical systems that run wind farms and turbines.
Shares of American Superconductor, which also offers smart grid infrastructure technologies, closed up more than 6 percent Friday on chatter that Swiss engineering group ABB Ltd could be in talks with the Devens, Massachusetts-based company.
'I think it (the deal) is a possibility,' analyst Pavel Molchanov of Raymond James said.
ABB is a large player in electrical engineering, including power grids, and so it could be a potential buyer for American Superconductor as it would add to its portfolio, Molchanov added.
Analysts said General Electric Co, Siemens or any other competitor of ABB could be a potential suitor for American Superconductor, whose key customer is China's Sinovel Wind.
'We never comment on rumors,' said Jason Fredette, American Superconductor's director of investor and media relations. 'We do not talk about M&A activities or anything along those lines.'
ABB spokesman Thomas Schmidt also refused to comment on what he called 'market rumours.' The company, which also competes with France's Areva, had earlier said it was looking for 'bolt-on' acquisitions.
Molchanov said American Superconductor is an expensive stock and an acquisition of the company would be dilutive to the purchaser, at least initially, but the long-term benefit in terms of new products and R&D would outweigh the cost.
Shares of American Superconductor trade at a whopping 207 times their forward earnings, compared with the electrical components and equipment sector, which trades at a multiple of 30 times.
American Superconductor, which draws about 70 percent of its revenue from Sinovel Wind, beat the tide of recession, helped by the strong wind energy market in China.
While some analysts said a possible deal would not have any impact on Sinovel, others said China's largest wind turbine maker might have to renegotiate its major contracts with American Superconductor.
The company's overall revenue for the fiscal year ended March 2009 was about $183 million.
Shares of the company have risen by 157 percent in the past year, as governments set emissions targets and unveil subsidies for technologies to combat climate change.
RICH PICKINGS
The booming wind power business is set to see a flurry of deals as companies scramble to get a share of the fast-growing renewable energy pie.
Industry experts and company executives expect investments in green technologies, sometimes referred to as cleantech, to pick up significantly as early as this fall, with continued improvement through 2010.
Renewable energies dominated by biomass -- such as firewood -- and including wind, hydro, solar and tidal power made up 13 percent of world energy demand in 2006, according to the International Energy Agency.
French turbines-to-trains group Alstom is said to be well placed to be a buyer in wind as it plays catch-up with more established rivals such as Denmark's Vestas, Spain's Gamesa, India's Suzlon Energy and Germany's Siemens.
'I think there is probably going to be more consolidation on the wind turbine vendor side, rather than on the components side,' analyst Ben Schuman of Pacific Crest Securities said.
Analysts said a possible acquisition of American Superconductor would boost ABB's position in the power grid infrastructure market and bolster its presence in China.
American Superconductor makes superconductor power cable systems that reduce transmission losses by a great extent and can be used in smart grids, which refer to power systems that can respond immediately to changes in supply and electricity prices.
The Chinese market is very important because of its commitment to wind energy and also due to easy availability of funds, analyst Vijay Singh of Janco Partners said.
'I can see what ABB would want to acquire -- a nice little backlog book and a good presence in China,' Singh added.
Shares of American Superconductor were trading down a percent at $32.81 Monday afternoon on Nasdaq. ABB shares were up 2 percent at $21.18 on the New York Stock Exchange.

Antwort auf Beitrag Nr.: 39.773.503 von CowNChicken am 03.07.10 23:27:55Im Gegensatz zu AMSC verbrennt Zenergy Cash - ist ja auch normal als Start-up. Doch hier liegt der Unterschied. AMSC verdient momentan mit den "anderen Produkten" (außerhalb der Superconductors) richtig gut Geld. Und dieses Geld können Sie dann wieder in die Produktion der Superconductors stecken - ohne permanent die Aktionäre anpumpen zu müssen.
In USA wird das Thema Supercondutors aúßerdem viel stärker durch öffentliche Aufträge gepusht. In Europa leider noch nicht so der Fall. Nachteil Zenergy.
Grundsätzlich würde ich hoffen, dass es mind. zwei Hersteller dieser Kabel zukünftig gibt. Alleine wird es Zenergy aber nicht schaffen. Zenergy ist daher für mich ein Übernahmekanditat - evtl. durch Siemens, Alstom oder ABB.

-- Industry's First Optimized Utility-Scale PV Interconnection System Introduced at Solar Power International 2010
-- Provides Centralized Control of Real and Reactive Power at the Point of Interconnection
-- Enables Developers to Meet the Most Stringent Grid Interconnection Requirements With Proven, Cost-Effective Technology
American Superconductor Corporation (NASDAQ: AMSC), a global power technologies company, announced today at the Solar Power International 2010 exhibition the launch of its SolarTie Grid Interconnection Solution. The SolarTie solution combines two of AMSC's proven and proprietary technologies - D-VAR® STATCOM solutions and PowerModule™ power converter systems - that are today connecting over 15 gigawatts (GW) of renewable energy to the grid. This new offering is a utility-scale grid interconnection system designed specifically for megawatt-scale solar photovoltaic (PV) power plants. By coupling best-in-class power converter capabilities with AMSC's world-renowned dynamic reactive compensation technology, the SolarTie product represents the industry's first fully optimized solution for utility-scale PV power plant developers. The addressable market for SolarTie solutions is expected by industry analysts to be approximately $2 billion by 2015.
With a base rating of 1.4 megawatts (MW) and a turn-on voltage of up to 1,000 volts (VDC), the SolarTie solution is one of the most robust power inverter systems on the market. In addition, SolarTie customers will benefit from:
* The services of AMSC's highly skilled and experienced Network Planning and Applications Group;
* Solar inverters based on AMSC's proven PowerModule™ platform;
* The ability to dynamically control real and reactive power at the Point of Interconnection;
* AMSC's proprietary Smart Grid Interface (SGI) Controller, which directs SolarTie inverters and reactive power elements to provide efficient energy production and precise regulation at the Point Of Interconnection (POI); and
* Easy integration with STATCOMs and/or capacitor and reactor shunt banks for additional reactive support if installed as part of the system.
The market for utility-scale solutions is forecasted for impressive growth. Industry research firm IMS Research expects annual shipments of solar PV inverters to quadruple from approximately 8 GW at the end of 2009 to 32 GW in 2014. During this period, the utility-scale solar inverter market is expected to grow at a much faster pace than the commercial and residential solar inverter markets.
"AMSC's SolarTie solution offers grid-management support, reactive compensation and grid interconnection, all of which are required by utility-scale PV plant developers," said Ash Sharma, Research Director at IMS Research. "As a result, AMSC's product appears well positioned for this growing market."
Similar to wind farms, solar power plants often must meet requirements in a growing number of countries for dynamic reactive compensation. Employing the same technology as AMSC's proven D-VAR system, which is connecting more than 70 wind farms worldwide to the grid, the SolarTie solution provides instantaneous detection, accurate response and immediate results, ensuring efficient energy production and precise grid management. For example, if a disturbance occurs (voltage sag or swell, passing clouds or other event) the SGI will command the PV plant's SolarTie inverters to provide the needed reactive support to control the voltage at the POI. AMSC's SolarTie solution provides sub-cycle (less than 16 milliseconds) detection and response to grid disturbances while many competing interconnection solutions have response times of 10 to 20 seconds.
"Over the course of the past decade, AMSC has established itself as a leader in the renewable energy market with a wide range of solutions," said AMSC President and Chief Operating Officer Dan McGahn. "In fact, our power technologies are now enabling nearly 10% of the world's wind generated electricity. We are proud to utilize this tremendous experience base to field a highly optimized, high power grid interconnection solution for PV solar power plant developers. AMSC's SolarTie solution sets a new standard for the industry by simplifying implementation, reducing project cost and enhancing plant reliability."

American Superconductor investor extends buying streak
Boston Business Journal - by Kyle Alspach
Date: Friday, March 25, 2011, 10:49am EDT
American Superconductor Corp.’s (Nasdaq:AMSC) largest investor, a wealthy telecommunications businessman, continued his string of major buys in the company with a $5.2 million stock purchase this week.
Since the start of 2011, Kevin G. Douglas has spent $28.2 million acquiring shares in the Devens, Mass.-based power technologies firm, according to insiderinsights.com. He began buying a year ago, and since then has bought a total of $122.7 million worth of shares, according to the website.
Douglas is founder and chairman of the privately-held Douglas Telecommunications Inc. of California, and has never had an active role at American Superconductor, the company recently told the Wall Street Journal. Douglas declined to explain his interest in the company to the newspaper.
Douglas is easily the largest holder of American Superconductor stock, with about 14.4 percent of the company, or 7.28 million shares.
Shares in the company were up about 3 percent as of 10:45 a.m. Friday, to $24.31. The stock has ranged between $21.70 and $38.88 over the past year.
Earlier this month, the company said it planned to acquire a Finnish power technologies firm for $265 million, extending its technology portfolio and customer base in the wind power sector.
American Superconductor does most of its business in electrical components and designs for wind turbines, though the company has begun to diversify into superconductors, a high-temperature wire the company says can carry 150 times the electrical current of similar-sized copper wire.
The company is forecasting fiscal 2010 revenue in the range of $430 million to $440 million, and profit in the range of $44 million to $46 million.

Antwort auf Beitrag Nr.: 41.271.513 von alpenmaradona am 27.03.11 08:03:41ob der Investor sich heute wohl ärgert 
ist doch gut dass die verbindung nach china beendet wird
Antwort auf Beitrag Nr.: 41.326.516 von Hoffnungstraeger am 06.04.11 11:19:38American Superconductor Corporation (NASDAQ: AMSC), a global power technologies company, today issued an update regarding its anticipated financial results for its fourth quarter and fiscal year 2010 ended March 31, 2011. AMSC expects to report final fourth quarter and full fiscal year 2010 results in May 2011.
On March 31, 2011, Sinovel Wind Group Co., Ltd. (Sinovel) refused to accept contracted shipments of 1.5 megawatt (MW) and 3 MW wind turbine core electrical components and spare parts that AMSC was prepared to deliver. AMSC believes that Sinovel intends to reduce its level of inventory before accepting further shipments.
These delayed shipments are the primary cause for lower-than-anticipated financial results for AMSC's fourth quarter and full fiscal year 2010. AMSC currently expects total revenues for its fourth fiscal quarter will be less than $42 million and that it will generate a net loss for the fourth quarter on both a GAAP and non-GAAP basis. As a result, AMSC currently expects its full year fiscal 2010 revenues to be less than $355 million. This compares with the company's prior forecast for fiscal 2010 revenues of $430 million to $440 million. AMSC also expects that its GAAP and non-GAAP earnings for full year fiscal 2010 will be well below the company's previous forecasts.
AMSC estimates that its balance of cash, cash equivalents, marketable securities and restricted cash as of March 31, 2011 was approximately $240 million. This is down from $260.5 million as of December 31, 2010. AMSC's cash balance was negatively impacted by an increased inventory level related to the refusal of shipments by Sinovel, and Sinovel's failure to pay AMSC for certain contracted shipments made in fiscal year 2010. As a result of both accumulated aged accounts receivable due to payment delays and Sinovel's recent refusal to accept March deliveries, AMSC is reviewing the appropriateness of the timing of its revenue recognition on approximately $56 million of unpaid shipments in the second, third and fourth quarters of fiscal 2010.
AMSC continues to have active discussions with Sinovel to determine when Sinovel will accept further shipments and when it will pay for past shipments. In the meantime, AMSC has taken certain actions to reduce expenses, and the company is in the process of implementing plans to better align spending with near-term revenues while continuing to maintain a high level of service and support for its global Wind and Grid customers.

Antwort auf Beitrag Nr.: 41.326.668 von R-BgO am 06.04.11 11:41:05Sehr guter Artikel. Obwohl ich etwas geschockt bin, denke ich, dass es weiter gehen wird. Ich vertraue dem Management. Mit Windtec hatten Sie bisher ein sehr gutes Händchen.
Durch die Atomkrise wird das Thema Windkraft insgesamt wieder an Fahrt gewinnen, auch in China. Damit werden auch die Bestellungen wieder anziehen, nicht nur von Sinovel sondern auch von den anderen Kunden. Sinovel kann es sich auch nicht erlauben, AMSC zu stark zu verägern - ich bin mir sicher, dass Sinovel ganz heiß auf die Supraleiter und Sea Titan Design ist.

DEVENS, Mass., May 24, 2011 (BUSINESS WIRE) --
American Superconductor Corporation (NASDAQ: AMSC), a global power technologies company, today announced that Daniel P. McGahn, President and Chief Operating Officer, has been appointed Chief Executive Officer and a member of the Board of Directors, effective June 1, 2011. Dan McGahn succeeds founder Gregory J. Yurek, who is retiring after more than two decades of service to the company as part of the CEO succession plan that has been discussed with the Board of Directors since late 2010. Yurek, 64, will continue to serve as Chairman of the Board until the company's annual meeting of stockholders in August and as a Senior Advisor to the company for the next two years.
"The past 24 years have been challenging, exhilarating and rewarding," said Yurek. "Together with a great team at AMSC, we have been a superconductor technology pioneer and evolved into a dynamic power technologies company. Having worked with Dan for nearly five years, I am confident in his ability to lead the company through today's obstacles and into another era of growth."
"I, along with the entire AMSC team, thank Greg for his years of dedication and service," said McGahn. "Since founding the company in 1987, he has worked tirelessly to build American Superconductor. We wish him well in his future endeavors and appreciate his willingness to serve as a Senior Advisor to me and the company."
McGahn, 39, joined AMSC in December 2006 as Vice President, Strategic Planning and Corporate Development. In this position, his primary initial objective was to establish and operate AMSC China. In 2008, McGahn was promoted to the position of Senior Vice President and General Manager of AMSC Superconductors, and he was promoted to President and Chief Operating Officer in December 2009. In this latest role, McGahn was responsible for the company's day-to-day global operations.
"Dan has impressed all of us in his time at AMSC," said John Vander Sande, Lead Director of AMSC's Board of Directors. "He is the ideal person to lead AMSC forward upon Greg's retirement. The Board has the utmost confidence in Dan's ability to achieve a new level of success by accelerating AMSC's business diversification. We are indebted to Greg for the significant contributions he has made to AMSC during the past 24 years and are pleased that he has agreed to serve as a Senior Advisor to smooth the transition process."

NEW YORK (AP) -- Shares of American Superconductor Corp. took a big hit in premarket trading Wednesday after the company warned that it expects full-year revenue to be lower than it had previously forecast and postponed its annual report.
The company, which makes technology for wind turbines and power utilities, did not give a specific guidance. It also said Tuesday it will delay filing its annual report because it needs more time to prepare and audit its financial statements. The company, whose fiscal year ended March 31, said it is reviewing its revenue from shipments to customers in China over the last fiscal year.
In April, American Superconductor forecast revenue below $355 million for the year. Analysts polled by FactSet are expecting $364.7 million.
Citi Investment Research analyst Timothy Arcuri said" the company will have more restatements, the company's lowered expectations set the stage that revenue from Sinovel Wind Group Co., the customer in China, could be close to nothing in the fourth quarter. That's down from about $80 million in the prior quarter, he added.
Shares fell $1.41, or 13.2 percent, to $9.28 in premarket trading.

American Superconductor Restates Over Unpaid Shipments

Gale force winds.
Wind turbine company American Superconductor this afternoon said it will restate results for the September and December quarters due to the lack of payment for shipments to certain Chinese customers – not including Sinovel Wind Group. The company added that in the case of Sinovel Wind the company has concluded that a cash-based method of accounting should have been applied. In April, American Superconductor shares swooned after it disclosed that Sinovel had refused to take shipment on previously ordered turbines and spare parts.
The company noted that in the June quarter no shipments were made to Sinovel and no payments were received.
American Superconductor said revenues for the September 30 quarter will be reduced to $98 million, down from $101.5 million, with the December quarter reduced to $43 million, from $114.2 million. For the March 2011 fiscal year, the company expects to report revenue of about $307 million, well short of the Street consensus at $359.9 million.
The company said it has not yet completed its financial statements for the fiscal year ended March 31.
Update: Jefferies analyst Jesse Pichel this afternoon repeated his Underperform rating on the stock, cutting his target price to $6, from $16. “We consider the stock to be uninvestable given the lack of reliable financial statements and no resolution from Sinovel,” he writes. The analyst adds that he expects the company to attempt to “resize” its operations, and that losses are likely for the foreseeable future.
