Schaut Euch mal diese Aktie an.

http://finance.yahoo.com/q?d=t&s=SPIR

Wird auch in Deutschland gehandelt bzw. gesammelt von mir und mehreren anderen Anlegern. Man kennt sich schon untereinander.
Sobald Brief das ist, isser auch schon weg. Minimale Umsätze (Weil geringe Aktienanzahl). Die Bewertung ist für einen Umweltwert mehr als attraktiv.
Kurs seit 3 Jahren im Aufwärtstrend + kürzlich wieder eindrucksvoll bestätigt.

Ich habe mir im laufe des letzten halben Jahres 3000 Stk. zusammengekauft. Immer wenn der Spread gut war. Heute wieder 236 Stk. zu 6€, also 0,24€ unter US Kurs. Irgendeine Ratte hat heute zu 5,8€ gekauft (kann mir schon denken wer, hallo Thailänder...)

Man muß sich aber schon intensiver mit dem Wert beschäftigen um das Potential zu sehen, weil viel restrukturiert wurde.

Ciao
BIT
 

Seit 3 Jahren im Trend und die letzten Tage wieder bestätigt. Es gibt übrigens news. Achso, und +10% *freu*.  

Der hat sich richtig Zeit genommen. Denke das ist ein gutes Zeichen. Naja, mir gehört ja auch ein großer Teil (*gg*) der Firma.
Hier meine Fragen und Antworten. Achso, sorry daß ich die Spire Diskussion als einziger am Leben erhalte. Das soll kein Push sein sondern ein Infomationsthread über eine meiner Ansicht nach gute Firma mit guten Zukunftsaussichten. Ich denke in 2 Jahren wird das DIE Aktie sein, die man in seinem Depot haben sollte.


Dear Sir,

thank you very much for the quick response on my question below.
There are three more issues on  which I would like to have some more information.

1. Financial FCST
Could you give me an idea when your budget or business plan will show some
break even point or profit? I know, SPIRE had to do some restructuring +
investments during the last year. When will these investments give us some
positive earnings ?  

ANSWER:

This can be a long answer, but I'll try to be brief.  On December 30, 1999
we sold our Optoelectronics business for $13,000,000.  The proceeds were
used to liquidate some debt, and to invest in new business opportunities in
our remaining Solar and Bio businesses.  In Solar, we are investing in a new
factory in Chicago Illinois.  This factory initially received a commitment
from the local utility to purchase $6,000,000 of solar modules.  The City of
Chicago also agreed to purchase $2,000,000 and to renovate a building for
our factory.  We are scheduled to occupy in September.  Once we occupy, we
can begin gearing up manufacturing capabilities.

We are also investing in the Bio area by developing a unique designed
catheter.  We hope to submit USFDA approval later this year, and begin sales
in 2002.

2. Spire Bio
After sucessfully splitting the Bio division off Spire Solar, are there any
plans to do a IPO or any Cooperation? Are there any plans to sell these
assets.

ANSWER:

We are currently talking to investment bankers and venture capitalist.  Our
hope is to raise approximately $5,000,000 at this time, and should we be
successful later spin out the operation to the stockholders.

3. What is the sales growth rate your are expecting for the Spire Solar Div.
in the next years.

ANSWER:

Spire Solar is comprised of 2 operations:  1.) OEM equipment; and 2.) Spire
Solar Chicago.  The Solar Industry is expected to continue growing at 30% a
year (or more).  Spire's equipment business will likely grow at that rate,
but subject to cycles as our customers add to capacity.  Spire Solar
Chicago, as I said is currently initiating manufacturing capabilities.  We
have achieved some sales to date, but look for greater volume later this
year and into next.
Thanks for your help and good luck for Spire and yourself.
Sorry for the bad English above.

Best regards
Richard Gregorio
CFO SPIRE CORP.

 

Super Entwicklung in den letzten Tagen

Leider interessiert das kaum jemanden?

Spire Corporation Reports Record Third Quarter 2007 Results

Revenues Increase 70 Percent on Turnkey Solar Factory Demand

Sales of Turnkey Solar Factories and Capital Equipment Increase by
268 Percent

BEDFORD, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 19, 2007--Spire Corporation, (Nasdaq: SPIR), a global solar company providing turnkey solar factories and capital equipment to manufacture photovoltaic modules worldwide, today announced that revenues increased 70 percent in the third quarter of 2007 on strong sales of solar photovoltaic production equipment.

The Company reported revenues of $9,845,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2007, compared to $5,794,000 for the same period in 2006. In addition, the Company recorded a gain of $2,707,000 from the sale of rights to utilize its trademark, income tax benefit of $884,000 and an extraordinary gain of $1,311,000, net of tax, on its equity investment in its joint venture, Gloria Spire Solar. Net income after extraordinary gain was $2,755,000, or $0.33 per basic share for the three months ended September 30, 2007, compared with a net loss of $1,941,000, or $0.24 per basic share, for the same period in 2006.

Revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 were $25,421,000, compared to $15,062,000 for the nine month period in 2006. In addition, the Company recorded a gain of $2,707,000 from the sale of rights to utilize its trademark, income tax benefit of $884,000 and an extraordinary gain of $1,311,000 net of tax on its equity investment in the joint venture. Net loss after extraordinary gain was $856,000, or $0.10 per basic share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, compared with a net loss of $6,026,000, or $0.77 per basic share, for the same period in 2006.

Roger G. Little, Chairman and CEO of Spire, said, "We have now achieved three consecutive quarters of record revenues. During the third quarter, we have solidified our position as the worldwide leader in developing and providing turnkey factories for solar energy manufacturing and we continue to see strong growth in solar capital equipment sales going forward. Sales of our turnkey factories and manufacturing equipment increased by 268 percent over the comparable quarter last year. In addition to the strong current sales levels, we are also encouraged by the continued level of sales backlog in the pipeline. Margins increased compared to last year, and we expect to see continued improvement as we complete our extensive manufacturing expansion, become more efficient and integrate our growing workforce. Part of the gain from the improved margins was offset by higher selling expenses as a result of increased sales and marketing activity.

"During the quarter, we closed several major sales, including our first fully automated turnkey 50-megawatt (MW) module production line for Martifer Solar S.A., a division of Martifer Group, located in Oliverira de Frades, Portugal. And shortly after the close of the quarter, we provided a turnkey, 12-MW module manufacturing line to a customer in Russia, making them the largest module manufacturer in that country. These sales are a testament to the strength of Spire as a global equipment supplier and our dominance as the recognized leader for turnkey solar factory solutions."

"We also successfully restructured our solar systems operation with the formation of a joint venture with Gloria Solar, a leading manufacturer in Taiwan. We exchanged our existing building integrated Photovoltaics (PV) systems business for a 45 percent interest in the new venture, Gloria Spire Solar, LLC, which was capitalized by Gloria. In addition, we sold a 50-MW module production line to Gloria's existing operations in China, along with the right to mark their PV modules with the Spire trademark. This will enable Spire's management to better concentrate on our equipment business while continuing to extend the Spire brand in the marketplace. The joint venture is focused on the high-growth domestic systems market and we believe this new structure will allow Gloria Spire Solar to become a major player."

Mr. Little, concluded, "Our Bandwidth Semiconductor and Spire Biomedical operations continued to make progress towards profitability. Bandwidth Semiconductor increased its revenues while qualifying its two new commercial reactors with a key customer. We also are starting a new program to develop high-efficiency gallium arsenide solar concentrator cells and we are seeing strong customer interest in partnering with Bandwidth in this exciting new market. And our Biomedical operation reported revenue growth in both services and products."

... das Geschäft entwickelt sich sehr gut. In den letzten Wochen gab es einen unbegründeten Rückgang. Man geht für 2008 mit mindestens 80 mio $ umsatz. das Entspricht fast der Marktkapitalisierung. Ausserdem ist das Unternehmen hochprofitabel.

Man sollte über einen Einstieg nachdenken.  

Am Montag 31.03 mindestens 20 % rauf. Wette ich meine Eier.  

eine der besten Aktien weltweit  

ich bin heute der eine der in Frankfurt die einzigen 100 St. für 8,38 € gekauft hat...hab nicht gewußt was der Kursverfall soll und jetzt kurz vor den Zahlen drehen sie durch, verrückt diese Börse, freue mich das ich nachgekauft habe und ärgere mich - warum so wenig,
vielleicht sollte man morgen nochmal nachlegen, bisher finden sie ja kaum Beachtung...  

was wohl heute für Zahlen kommen, im Moment schwächeln sie ja wieder, gestern war ja merkwürdigerweise der Schlußtrade in Amerka ein Drittel des Tagesgesamtumsatzes..irgendwas muß da doch im Busch sein...  

werden denn die zahlen veröffentlicht??  

also heute abend um 11  

hochprofitabel is was anderes, hätte schön langsam schon mal die schwarze Null erwartet, gerade bei der hervorragenden Dollarsituation, heuer wird für mich das Entscheidungsjahr, erwarte einfach den Wechsel in die Gewinnzone...  

bin auch nicht ganz zufrieden

also der durchbruch muss dieses jahr kommen. Wenn nicht jetzt dann nie.  

bin auch nicht ganz zufrieden

also der durchbruch muss dieses jahr kommen. Wenn nicht jetzt dann nie

bei dem jetzigen Konsumklima in Amiland wird wohl eher etwas durchbrechen als ausbrechen

was die Geschäftsfelder (und auch wo) von Spire sind...  

habe die Medizin/ Solarbude mit Spirent verwechselt, kannst du mir verzeien?

der schwache Dollar stärkt die Firma ...  

für q1  

 

mindestens bis zu der Bekanntgabe der Q2 Zahlen gewiss. Der Markt spekuliert darauf, daß endlich die Gewinnzohne erreicht wird. Von daher wird es bei diesem engen Wert vorher zu anstiegen kommen. Je nach dem wie die Zahlen tatsächlich sind, kann es in beide Richtungen gehen.

Leider ist das Management von Spire, vorallem Herr Roger Little, nicht für seine Aktionärsfreundlichkeit bekannt. Die schreiben schon seit mehreren Jahrzehnten Rote Zahlen auf Kosten der Share-Holder. Wenn die tatsächlich eine vernünftige Rentabilität erreichen sind vervielfachungen möglich.  

Rekord Umsatz von 16 885 000

Ergebnis (269000)  

kaufen !!!

das geht hier besonders einfach da Spire sehr eng ist.

zurücklehnen und bedienen lassen
