15206 Ja, det må man sige.
4,5 mia kr er også en slat penge, selvom det er i Norske oliepenge.
Nu ved jeg ikke lige hvordan man kan overtegne en tegningsretsemission, medmindre det er på samme måde som TopoTarget, hvor man kan indlægge bud på evt. ikke udnyttede t-retter. Der er såvidt jeg husker stadig pæn forskel på tegningskursen og på den aktuelle børskurs. Kobler man det med at REC-aktien vel er ret likvid, så er det måske derfor at så mange har bedt om ekstra aktier.
På den anden side må tegningsretten også have handlet så højt så alle ikke udnyttede retter kunne frasælges i markedet....
Andre mulige forklaringer?

Ved første oplysning om emission var kursen ca. 70 NOK
Nu er den faldet til ca. 44 NOK
2,9 aktier a 70 = 203,00

3,9 aktier a 229,50 eller en teoretisk "efterkurs" 58,84 NOK
Emissioner er ikke et succeskriterie, med mindre
man sælger ved start.
Det har ikke overbevist mig om, at gå ind igen.

Jeg har på fornemmelsen, at REC er så massivt shortet, at der skal et rent katastrofe-regnskab til i morgen, for at den ikke stiger.

"- Årsaken til den svake bunnlinjen er at REC revaluerer hele sin 60-milliard store portefølje hvert kvartal, noe som kan gi enorme utslag, forklarer Schultz og mener på så måte at de tilsynelatende elendige tallene er langt fra så dårlige som de kan se ut til å være.
Schultz omtaler bunnlinjen i REC som tilnærmet uvesentlig, da minimale vilkårendringer i porteføljen kan ha katastrofale utslag på bunnlinjen, men kun regnskapsmessig."

M.h.t. REC må man i øvrigt formode, at med en ret ny direktør er denne vurdering af aktiverne i den nedre ende - eller i alt fald konservative...

REC ASA - 2nd quarter 2009
Oslo, August 11, 2009: Renewable Energy Corporation ASA (REC) reported revenue of NOK 2,308 million in the second quarter 2009, an increase of 9 percent from NOK 2,121 million in the second quarter 2008. For the first six months of 2009, revenue increased by 11 percent to NOK 4,321 million.
Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) amounted to NOK 218 million in the second quarter 2009.
The significant decline in EBITDA mainly relates to; (i) weaker market demand and reduced capacity utilization in REC Solar and REC Wafer, (ii) expansion cost and negative contribution from the ramp-up of new plants of NOK 198 million, (iii) a provision in REC Solar of approximately NOK 308 million for repairs of malfunctioning junction boxes, and (iv) loss on sales and write-down of cell and module inventories of NOK 107 million.
When adjusting for junction box, expansion/ramp-up cost and inventory write-downs (total of NOK 613 million), the underlying EBITDA margin was 36 percent.
The operating profit (EBIT) was NOK -97 million in the second quarter, compared to NOK 716 million in the same quarter in 2008.
REC reported net financial items of NOK -624 million in the second quarter, including net loss on derivatives of NOK 499 million. In the same quarter last year, net financial items were a negative NOK 8 million, including net losses on derivatives of NOK 28 million. Net financial items for the first six months 2009 were NOK -326 million, compared to NOK -259 million in 2008.
Including these effects, loss before tax was NOK 721 million in the second quarter 2009, compared to a profit before tax of NOK 708 million in the second quarter 2008. Loss before tax for the first six months in 2009 was NOK 121 million compared to NOK 1,036 million in 2009.
Earnings per share for the quarter was negative NOK 1.38, compared to positive NOK 1.00 in the second quarter 2008 and positive NOK 0.80 in the first quarter 2009. The earnings per share is calculated on the base of the average number of shares of 494.3 million in the second quarter 2009.

Som jeg har læst det, har en af bekymringerne de seneste 2-3 måneder været, om de vestlige producenter kan klare sig i konkurrencen med de kinesiske, som er billigere men også dårligere. I denne periode er de vestlige solaktier faldet med 35-40%.
Derfor er det, at First Solars store kontrakt - ovenikøbet i Kina! - er et så vigtigt signal for alle vestlige solenergi producenter.
