RE: GE and Lamu6 Aug 2018 21:16
Quite right CF73. GE are trading at rock bottom. The lowest in a decade. Despite their aviation and medical sectors showing an upturn it's the power generation aspect (their bread and butter) that's a bit stagnant. This is as we know now the main effort of GE. This project in moz does not only show GE investors that they are actively finding new and profitable power plays but it also ties into GEs ambitions in Africa where they already have a large influence.
Then add into the mix CMEC - a Chinese company, which we all know have a very very active role in Africa and it's looking very bullish indeed.
News catalysts are likely to be:
An update on the share holder loan (imminently) and I am guessing a partial conversion to equity at a premium and the remainder rolled over till next year.
An update from the working group between EDM, GE, CMEC and Ncondezi (early August) and off the back off this possibly the formal JDA?
Formal tarrif approval from EDM, I believe we now have it in principle.
Should be all in all a very, very interesting month.
