"Fiber Optics" und "Solar Photovoltaics" - Turnaround in 2011 ?!

Die Firma hat jahrelang nur Verluste eingefahren und ist dementsprechend zur Zeit "günstig" bewertet. Infos gibt es kaum welche, allerdings haben sich in den letzten Monaten Insiderkäufe gehäuft. Die Zahl der Jobangebote (im Netz zu finden) der letzten Tage sind auch nicht zu verachten. Vor einer Woche wurde zudem ein neuer Finanzchef eingestellt. Der Chart sieht auch gut aus...

Bin mal gespannt, wie sich das hier weiterentwickelt! Die Firma ist zur Zeit mit grade mal 115 Mio Dollar bewertet....

Dec 06, 2010 (SmarTrend(R) Spotlight via COMTEX) -- Emcore (NASDAQ:EMKR)  is one of today's best performing low-priced stocks, up 5.2% to $1.41  on 1.2x average daily volume. Approximately 688,000 shares have traded  hands today vs. 30-day average volume of 588,000 shares.

High volume often signals a change in trends. Shares of Emcore  are currently trading above their 50-day moving average (MA) of $1.14  and above their 200-day MA of $1.07.

SmarTrend scans for speculative low-price stocks under $5 for  reversals in trends. A large price movement may signal continuation or  reversal of a trend.

Emcore is in SmarTrend's Communication Equipment industry and  this industry is currently in an Uptrend. An industry trend that matches  the stock's trend helps to add conviction to the stock's Uptrend and  price prediction.

SmarTrend currently has shares of Emcore in an Uptrend and issued  the Uptrend alert on August 03, 2010 at $0.98. The stock has risen  37.4% since the Uptrend alert was issued.

 

 

Sanan 4 Rtage wegen einer "CPV" nachricht vom Handel ausgesetzt sollte schon etwas für Emcore und das JV "Suncore" bedeuten

http://finance.cn.yahoo.com/mark/...ticeid=58730184&code=sh600703  

meiner Meinung nach ist Emcore immer noch stark unterbewertet. Eine MK von 133 Mio Dollar ist ne arge Untertreibung...  

Die CPV Produktion wird von Wuhu nach Huainan umziehen.
Die Jahresproduktion wird in drei Phasen auf 1000 MW steigen (200MW 2011, +300 MW 2013 und +500MW 2015)
