RE: RNS awaited in any case22 Sep 2020 07:36
I agree Badeli - there has been much press speculation for last two years regards GE exiting coal business, so yesterday’s article will be no big surprise to investors, Hanno or CMEC.
1. I suspect Hanno / CMEC was given a heads-up from GE many months ago, yet the Tete project process still rolls forward.
2. GE can’t afford to p*ss off Chinese government (they are potentially huge renewables customers).
3. Wouldn’t be surprised to learn that GE sells its coal engineering division (IP, patents, etc) to the Chinese.
I doubt Hanno was told of exact timing of yesterday’s press article, so may not get an RNS out at 7.00 this morning, in which case the SP will take a battering today.
I hold approx 0.5% of NCCL, but am not overly concerned by the GE news.
