Globe/DJ say ATS not a jolly good stock for Creststreet

2007-12-14 04:53 MT - In the News

The Globe and Mail reports in its Friday, Dec. 14, edition that Creststreet Alternative Energy Fund manager Steve Martin likes the solar energy industry. A Dow Jones dispatch to The Globe reports that Mr. Martin, however, sold his holdings in ATS Automation Tooling Systems. He sold the stock last month after the company continued its recent trend of disappointing results. The company is in a "show-me state," given its recent history of underperforming investors' expectations, says Mr. Martin. Creststreet's solar power exposure includes ARISE Technology, Day4 Energy, Timminco and Opel International. Each of these companies is focused on bringing down the costs of producing solar power and/or making the panels run more efficiently, says Mr. Martin. He believes solar power development is in an "accelerated growth phase." He says the cost to produce this power continues to fall. ATS Automation Tooling stock retreated 15 cents to close on the Toronto Stock Exchange Thursday at $4. The stock has a one-year trading range of $3.71 to $12.98. An unbylined Globe item was bullish on ATS's outlook on Nov. 30 when it was trading at $4.32. Goodwood Funds said investors could be richly rewarded.

Globe/DJ say Creststreet recommends Arise, others

See In the News (C-APV) ARISE Technologies Corp

The Globe and Mail reports in its Friday, Dec. 14, edition that Creststreet Alternative Energy Fund manager Steve Martin is bullish on the whole solar energy industry, compared with other alternative energy groups, such as wind power. A Dow Jones dispatch to The Globe reports that Mr. Martin says solar power is more attractive than wind power because output is easier to expand. Solar panels work well on rooftops or in large-scale solar farms. In contrast, wind turbines need large areas to make power efficiently, says Mr. Martin. Creststreet's solar power exposure includes ARISE Technology, Day4 Energy, Timminco and Opel International. Each of these companies is focused on bringing down the costs of producing solar power and/or making the panels operate more efficiently, says Mr. Martin. He believes solar power development is in an "accelerated growth phase." He says the cost to produce this power continues to fall. He says the costs of solar power "are coming down a lot faster than they are for wind power, geothermal power or for some of the other areas." The high price for crude oil is spurring interest in alternative energy stocks, notes Mr. Martin.

Globe says Leeward sees opportunity in Duvernay Oil

2007-12-18 06:59 MT - In the News

The Globe and Mail reports in its Tuesday, Dec. 18, edition that Leeward Hedge Funds chief executive officer Brendan Kyne recommends buying Duvernay Oil. The Globe's Maureen Darrigo writes in the BNN Market Call column that Duvernay stock retreated three cents to close on the Toronto Stock Exchange Monday at $26. The stock has a one-year trading range of $23.91 to $42.40. Duvernay is involved in the acquisition, exploration and development of oil and gas properties. Mr. Kyne says, "This company has a long-term track record of growth." Mr. Kyne recommends keeping cash nearby to take advantage of the opportunities in the market over the coming months. Mr. Kyne says global growth is slowing modestly. He looks to three contributing factors. First, the decimated United States mortgage market. Second, the policy of restrictive measures being introduced in China to control inflation. And lastly, the likely protectionist policies that nations will adopt in an attempt to "protect" domestic economies. He says: "In this environment true growth sectors stand out. The top sector for us is alternative energy, and solar energy as the area of high growth for next five years."

Globe says Garcea targets ARISE at $3.60

2007-12-21 05:45 MT - In the News

The Globe and Mail reports in its Friday, Dec. 21, edition that ARISE Technologies jumped 15 cents to close on the TSX Venture Exchange Thursday at $2.03. The Globe's Allan Robinson writes in the Eye On Equities column the stock has a one-year trading range of 41 cents to $3.30. ARISE is a solar energy technology company. ARISE will begin trading Friday on the Toronto Stock Exchange after being delisted from the TSX Venture Exchange. The move should open it up to a broader array of shareholders, says Haywood Securities analyst Ralph Garcea. Mr. Garcea rates ARISE "sector outperform." Mr. Garcea targets the stock at $3.60. Creststreet Alternative Energy Fund manager Steve Martin said buy ARISE stock in The Globe on Dec. 14. At the time the stock was trading at $1.95. Mr. Martin said he was bullish on the whole solar energy industry, compared with other alternative energy groups, such as wind power. Clarus Securities analyst Carolina Vargas said she liked ARISE in The Globe on Sept. 9. She rated the stock "buy." It was then trading at $1.05.

Globe says director buys Carmanah's consumer solar unit

2008-01-03 03:35 MT - In the News

The Globe and Mail reports in its Thursday edition that Carmanah Technologies is unloading its weak performing solar home power business to director David Egles for $1.5-million. The Globe's Richard Blackwell writes that Mr. Egles quit the Carmanah board to run the division as a private business. Mr. Egles joined Carmanah in 2005 when Carmanah bought his solar company Soltek Powersource. Soltek made solar systems to generate electricity for homes and businesses. The move added a large new enterprise to Carmanah's existing operations which specialized in solar-powered lighting and LED-illuminated signage. A soaring Canadian dollar and a surplus of high-cost inventory have hurt Carmanah's earnings. Carmanah said in November it wanted to sell some of its operations to focus on more profitable generic lines. The home solar power business was one of the units to go on the block. Carmanah plans to sell its designed solar lighting for transit systems. Mr. Egles will pay $500,000 in cash to Carmanah and return $1-million in shares to the company. Haywood Securities analyst Ralph Garcea targets Carmanah at $1.50. It closed Wednesday at $1.20. He rates the firm "sector perform."

Post/wire say Timminco shares leap on contract win

2007-12-21 06:36 MT - In the News

The Financial Post reports in a Reuters dispatch Friday that Timminco shares jumped to a record high Thursday. The unbylined item says the jump came after the specialty metals producer announced a contract win and the start of production at its solar silicon-producing unit at Becancour, Que. Timminco, which is 50.6 per cent owned by Dutch company Advanced Metallurgical Group, said on Wednesday its Becancour Silicon subsidiary has agreed to supply about 4,400 tonnes of solar-grade silicon over five years to an unnamed solar-cell maker. Separately, the company said it had started production on the first line at its Becancour facility, where two more lines are under construction. As part of the latest contract, the company will add further capacity. The shares closed up $2.95 Thursday at $18.53 on the Toronto Stock Exchange.
