RE: BOD Silence not helping24 Jul 2020 16:56
I had some brief communication with China New Energy putting forward a number of steps the board should consider to recover the position and they said they would bring up at the next meeting. I feel they had a chance to start a fresh chapter and raise their profile, provide regular updates on new project wins and therefore widen their investor audience. However they are repeating the same mistakes on the LSE and providing limited updates and keeping investors in the dark. There has not even been an RNS to quell concerns why a company should lose 50% of its value 3 days after its IPO. That is very irregular because such a fall might indicate something very bad that is not known to all investors and even saying the reason for the fall, if Double River would be hugely powerful. I also brought up the need to introduce a maiden dividend and share buy back along with updating the website that does not look to have been updated since 2010 and is very disappointing given just how impressive CNE are in terms of their market leading position, their clean tech credentials and their patents. They have lots to shout about but the site looks something i could put together in a day showing very old looking equipment on the homepage that i am sure could be updated with more cutting edge imagery. I am investing in EQTEC that are in the same cleantech space doing waste to energy infrastructure but eqtec keep investors updated on every twist and turn (good and bad) and they have a big following of investors who are hooked on the buzz of all the news updates and largely richly rewarded over last 3 months. CNE has to learn that the more positive RNS updates the closer CNE will get to a fair valuation as new investors come in to buy out the old but CNE appears very shy giving only small updates and people on this board talk about projects no one has any idea about. WIth eqtec i know every project and exactly how it is going as they release an RNS for everything. Very transparent, very simply but very successful. The time it would take to do these steps are minimal and they are making substantial profits and this could be farmed out to a 3rd party agency and finance PR agency for a tiny sum of money. They would see their valuation rocket overtime. I really think the management cannot possibly want to let this continue the way it is and i am sure the HK investors are far more aggressive with their demands having lost so much so quickly. I think some constructive engagement with the company can help to get things addressed and discussed so would recommend all investors to contact them. Have a good weekend and hopefully CNE will get themselves organised by October as i think it will take several months for them to steady the nerves of investors and make a concerted effort to win new investors into the fold after the most disastrous IPO probably this year in HK, if not the decade.
