WATERTOWN, Mass. (AP) -- Shares of lithium-ion battery maker A123 Systems Inc. jumped in Thursday trading, a day after the company closed its initial public offering of 32.4 million shares.

A123 Systems shares jumped $2.35, or 11 percent, to $23.67 in midday trading.

The Watertown-based company raised $437.5 million in its initial public offering, selling the shares at $13.50 each, including 31.7 million shares sold by the company and 680,501 shares sold by shareholders.

Morgan Stanley & Co. Inc. and Goldman, Sachs & Co. were joint book-running managers for the offering. BofA Merrill Lynch, Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., Lazard Capital Markets LLC and Pacific Crest Securities were co-managers.

trotz widriger umstände(man schaue sich mal die indizes an) , die a123 nur einen weg kennt.
da kann es außenrum donnern und gewittern.
was macht die denn , wenn schönes wetter ist ?!  ;-))
man scheint hier die hoffnungen auf ein zukunftsorientiertes unternehmens zu setzten, bei all den "schlechten " nachrichten der letzten monate.
auf zu neuen sphären. !

so kann man gleich sehen , wie die rakete zündet.
momentan real 24,90.
finance.yahoo.com/q?s=AONE
viel spaß beim zuschaun.

was das denn.....?
GW!

aber ne Rakete hinterherzujagen......kommt sicher auch zurück...

Natürlich ist es gewagt da jetzt noch reinzugehen aber wer bietet schon batterien mit nanotechnologie(was das für den moment auch heißt (bin da kein fachmann))  !
also , wenn man mal davon ausgeht , daß das e-auto wirklich irgedwann (5-10Jahre ) zur selbstverständlichkeit wird , dann sehe ich hier noch wesentlich mehr potential.
soweit ich weiß , heißt nano ( sehr sehr sehr sehr sehr  usw.  klein   :-))   .
wenn man sich jetzt mal die entwicklung des handys anschaut (am anfang haben die jungs einen aktenkoffer an batterie mit sich rumgetragen und mit nem "bügeleisen " telefoniert.)
heute stellt das keiner mehr in frage und die dinger werden noch kleiner und leistungsfähiger.
und da ist für mich der knackpunkt. geht die entwicklung nur annähernd in diese richtung , dann wird es da noch große überraschungen geben.
und warum nicht heute in eine firma investieren , die heute schon nano einsetzt.
denke die haben da nen gewaltigen vorsprung.
desderwegen bin ich hier guter dinge das die rakete noch weiter steigt , wenngleich auch nicht mehr so steil wie die letzten 5 tage.
noch ein kurzes wort zu nano.
als da die ersten firmen an die börsen gingen wurden die aktien in die höhe katapultiert und nach kurzer zeit gings fast genauso schell bergab.
damals hatten sich sicherlich viele leute gedacht "WIR" wüssten schon was und wie man damit umgeht.
doch nur sehr wenige hatten auch das tatsächliche wissen etwas "produktives" damit anzufangen und es dann auch Marktgerecht umzusetzten.
vielleicht gehört die A123 ja da dazu.
in diesem sinne

Why A123 Systems Still Not Worth It

By Rick Pearson

About this article:
This column is being previewed exclusively for RealMoney readers. A123 Systems shares reached $28.20 today, implying a market cap of approximately $2 billion. This is more than double its IPO price, and triple the low end of the initial IPO offering range. Investors are clearly placing a lot of hope in A123's technology, but are also ignoring the company's fundamentals and playing the stock for its momentum. At the other end of the spectrum, other lithium-ion battery plays such as China Digital Communications are also trading out of line with their fundamentals, but are undervalued rather than overvalued. In my last article on A123, I questioned its valuation when it was trading around $18 per share; I received massive amounts of feedback suggesting I didn't understand the potential for A123's lithium iron phosphate technology. I responded to many of these emails with a simple question: "What revenue and margin forecasts...

Scheint sich nach der Konsolidierung ein wenig zwischen 22 und 24 Dollar zu stabilisieren. Wichtig wären jetzt kontinuierliche gute News und steigende Umsätze, dann sehen wir schon bald die 30...

sich gelegt zu haben.
bin da guter dinge , daß es nach oben geht.
gut ding braucht weil !
und ich denke man hat hier einen vernünftigen wert in seinem depot!
auf gute news und kurse.
sosix

das ebtwickelt sich in die falsche richtung !  .-((
bin da auch zu nem "hohen" einstiegspreis rein.
allerdings bleib ich immer noch entspannt , weil ich einer von den anlegern bin die von der technik überzeugt bin!!
das kann von mir aus auch 2 jahre dauern , werd da nicht mehr rausgehen, zumal die medien vollgestopft sind mit elektroauto und eben selbiges zubehör.
bin sicher , daß das die "nahe" zukunft sein wird.
time will tell.
sosix

und schau mir das erst mal von der Seitenlinie an. Sobald sich hier ein Einstieg wieder lohnt, überleg ich es mir nochmal.

 

 

hoffe du hast nicht zu viel miese gefahren.
werde noch ausharren , da ich immer noch guter dinge bin.
im november sollen die q3 zahlen kommen.
mal schaun was sich dann ergibt !


WATERTOWN, Mass., Oct. 12, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- A123 Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq:AONE - News), a developer and manufacturer of advanced lithium-ion batteries and battery systems for the transportation, electric grid services and consumer markets, announced today that it will release its third quarter 2009 financial results for the period ended September 30, 2009 after the market close on Tuesday, November 10, 2009. On that day, management will hold a conference call and webcast at 5:00 p.m. ET to review and discuss the Company's results for the third quarter. A recorded version of this webcast will be available two hours after the call and accessible at ir.a123systems.com/.

And if it didn't land $249 million in federal stimulus funds to build a factory outside of Detroit to make its batteries, A123 would have been in an extremely tough spot and probably not much of an IPO candidate: Once a leading contender to be the initial supplier for the batteries in General Motor's forthcoming plug-in hybrid, the Chevy Volt, it lost out to a subsidiary of Korea's LG.

There's your warning. But consider that A123 is also one of the few U.S.-based companies competing in an industry that practically every automaker on the planet predicts will be huge.

Though it isn't cranking batteries out for carmakers yet, A123 does have relationships with a handful, most notably Chrysler (now owned by Fiat) Daimler and BMW. General Motors has left open the possibility of working with A123 in the future. In the meantime, Black & Decker and DeWALT are putting millions of A123 lithium-ion cells into power tools.
0:00 /3:26Low tech supply? Good sign

The electrification of transportation is coming in various forms, and batteries play a role in all of them. You have gasoline hybrids like Toyota's Prius. Plug-in hybrids like the Volt, and all battery-electric cars coming soon from the likes of Nissan and Renault.

Even hydrogen-fuel-cell cars require a sophisticated battery system, especially if they are to become a next-generation hybrid, running a fuel cell coupled with a battery, rather than a gasoline engine/battery combo.

The question that remains for A123 as an investment is how long will it take for all this technology to hit the mass-market road?

Consider the lesson of Ballard Power. Ballard (BLDP), which makes fuel cells, was once a high-flyer, but its shares are now worth about one-third less than when it went public in 1995 because fuel cells for cars failed to take off as quickly as was thought. They are finally getting there, though Ballard has exited the car business.

A123 faces a similar set of players, technological hurdles and issues of timing. If mass-market cars go electric soon, A123 could get a huge jolt. If not, you can expect a long, painful slog. To top of page

mit großen schritten richtung 24,20$.
an der marke sind wir gestern schon mal gescheitert.
wenn das heute heben sollte (über 24,20) bin ich guter dinge , daß wir auch bald die 26 wieder sehen werden.
jetzt noch ein paaaaar gute news und es kann wieder abgehen. !

{"s" : "aapl,aone,byddf.pk,cbak,crtp,f,hpq,intc,tm,ttm","k" : "c10,l10,p20,t10","o" : "","j" : ""}

Today's report by BusinessWeek likens the technological relationship between batteries and electric cars to that of microchips and personal computers. The report noted that optimistic estimates suggest electric cars could account for a fifth of the auto market in the next decade - suggesting that the current front-runners might not be the ultimate winners. Just as Hewlett Packard (NYSE: HPQ - News) was not the first to build a PC, and Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL - News) wasn't the first to make an MP3 player, future giants in the electric car market might not be the first horses out of the gate. However, that hasn't stopped investors from placing their bets on the future Intel (NASDAQ: INTC - News) of electric car components.

A handful of battery stocks are flying today, continuing a trend that has sent select players up by double-digits over the last month, while others head south by similar margins. As the hype surrounding mainstream electric transportation grows, a potentially bright future for battery companies may become increasingly apparent.

As a whole, the Energy Storage and Battery Technology Stocks Index is ahead by 2.5% today. It is now outperforming the S&P 500 by 9% over the last month.

Leading today's rally is Chinese electric car and battery company BYD (OTC: BYDDF - News). The stock has gotten a lot of attention since news of Warren Buffett's investment in the firm was made public, and shares have doubled in just the last three months. The company's nine-month car sales shot up by 50% compared to last year's figure, according to Friday's report in the China Securities Journal, which was covered by Reuters on Thursday evening in the U.S.

Meanwhile, other Chinese battery stocks are following BYD higher today. China Ritar Power (NASDAQ: CRTP - News) and China BAK Battery (NASDAQ: CBAK - News) are both up by 4%.

The sector's newest component, A123 Systems (NASDAQ: AONE - News) is adding 3% to its 75% rally since going public less than a month ago. It is already one of the top performing 2009 IPOs.

As stated in BusinessWeek, "the great battery race will make sure that there will be several large companies that specialize in the design and manufacture of batteries for cars." So as Toyota (NYSE: TM - News), Tata Motors (NYSE: TTM - News), Ford (NYSE: F - News) and the like battle for their share of the electric car market, investors should keep a close eye on moves within the Energy Storage and Battery Technology Stocks Index.

Based on the aggregated intelligence of 140,000-plus investors participating in Motley Fool CAPS, the Fool's free investing community, lithium-ion battery maker A123 Systems (Nasdaq: AONE) has received a distressing two-star ranking.

With that in mind, let's take a closer look at A123's business and see what CAPS investors are saying about the stock right now.

A123 facts

The performance bodes very well for makers of lithium ion batteries such as China Bak Battery(CBAK Quote), Advanced Battery Technologies (ABAT Quote), Hong Kong Highpower Technology(HPJ Quote) and China Digital Communication (CMTP.OB Quote), none of which have yet released quarterly results.

All of these stocks are public and liquid, but they trade on very different multiples, so investors should select carefully. China Bak is one to avoid for now, while China Digital could be the next home run. Advanced Battery and Hong Kong Highpower look fairly valued, but could benefit further if there are any positive earnings surprises.

Inside every iPod, iPhone and Apple laptop is a lithium ion battery. The lithium ion battery has become smaller, more energy efficient and longer lasting, effectively replacing the previous generation of nickel metal hydride batteries. The four companies are all competitors in this market and are currently enjoying high margins as demand for products such as those made by Apple continues to soar. Apple's strong results provide a great barometer for what to expect from upcoming earnings reports by these battery makers, all of which should enjoy a strong pick-up in revenue.

Following the initial public offering of A123 Systems (AONE Quote), China Bak's stock price is up more than 50% as enthusiasm has grown for next-generation battery makers. But like A123, CBAK is a money-losing company. I would expect to see significant revenue growth from CBAK this quarter, but unless it can effectively double sales from the previous quarter, it is unlikely to break even in the coming quarter.

dann können wir morgen doch tatsächlich richtung 25$ schauen.
das heißt diese woche sieht bis jetzt gut aus.
wenn es morgen richtung süden geht könnten wir nächste woche wieder richtung 26$ greifen.
time will tell.

Bookbinder cites General Electric (NYSE: GE) CEO Jeff Immelt as a major proponent in Corporate America for clean technology. GE's Energy Financial Services arm has made significant equity investments in A123 Systems (Nasdaq: AONE), a maker of next-generation lithium-ion batteries that has seen its stock price soar 38.8% since its IPO in September.

mal schaun wann es wieder was vernünftiges zu sehen gibt!  ;-((

hatte sie auf WL.....

IPO Aktie hat nun alles wieder abgegeben........

Innerhalb weniger Tage........

noch dabei.
mal sehen was das für nen grund hatte , daß sie all ihre "gewinne" wieder dermaßen schnell abgegeben hat.
trotzdem bin ich von dem unternehmen überzeugt , jetzt ist nur die frage wann sich die mehrheit auch wieder dafür entscheidet , daß das elektroauto nicht mehr wegzudividieren ist.
könnte vielleicht doch länger dauern als ich dachte.
werd jetzt halt mal warten.
am 11 november kommen die zahlen und dann werd ich sehen ob ich da auf jahre investiert bleiben muß oder ob sich da schon wieder ein wende anbahnt.
letztendlich bin ich aber der meinung , daß ich da (wenn auch auf sehr lange sicht ) richtig investiert bin.

WATERTOWN, Mass. and TOKYO, Oct. 28, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- A123 Systems (Nasdaq:AONE - News) and IHI Corporation (TYO:7013) announced today that they have entered into a collaborative business development agreement to serve potential customers in the Japanese transportation, industrial and marine markets. Under the terms of a joint marketing agreement, the two companies will pursue new customer opportunities in energy storage in the Japanese market.

IHI to sell A123's low-cost batteries in Japan in 2010

* Batteries will be used for electric, hybrid cars, ships

* IHI shares fall 1.1 pct vs 1.4 pct drop in the Nikkei (Adds details after announcement)

TOKYO, Oct 28 (Reuters) - Japan's IHI Corp (7013.T) said on Wednesday it would start selling low-cost lithium ion batteries developed by U.S. company A123 Systems Inc (AONE.O) in Japan in 2010, as it looks to tap surging demand from electric vehicle producers and other manufacturers.

Government subsidies have boosted appetite for environmentally friendly cars in the country since they were launched in June.

IHI, a heavy machinery maker, said the batteries made by A123 are more cost competitive than rivals' because they do not use rare earth as a raw material.

The company plans to sell the batteries to carmakers, include them in its power supply systems and use them in ships, an IHI spokesman said.

A123 develops batteries for electric vehicles and plug-in hybrids and works with carmakers such as BMW (BMWG.DE), Chrysler Group LLC and General Motors [GM.UL].

Its shares jumped 50 percent on the day it debuted on the Nasdaq stock market last month.

Lithium-ion batteries are a hot area of investment for many Japanese companies.

Sanyo (6764.T), the world's largest maker of rechargeable batteries and set to be taken over by Panasonic (6752.T), is developing lithium-ion batteries for cars with Volkswagen AG.

Toshiba Corp (6502.T) said on Tuesday that it would invest 25 billion yen ($273.7 million) to build a new lithium-ion battery plant in Japan. [ID: nT322473]

Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Ltd (7011.T) also plans to spend 10 billion yen to build a test plant for the production of lithium-ion batteries. [ID:nTKB006387].

Nissan Motor Co (7201.T) expects to start selling electric vehicles in Japan and the United States in 2010 and to start fully-fledged sales globally by the 2012 financial year.

IHI's shares closed down 1.1 percent at 179 yen, outperforming a 1.4 percent decline in the benchmark Nikkei average .N225. (Reporting by Yuko Inoue, Nobuhiro Kubo, Mariko Katsumura; Editing by Joseph Radford)

Ich bin auch schon dabei und Nach heute auch im dicken minus aber das wird auch.
Ich denke das das Interesse an der Aktie frühr oder Später steigen wird es ist eine der Top Aktien auf diesem Segment
und wen es E-Autos erst in frühestens 2 Jahren gibt wird es jetzt auch noch etwas dauern bis die Rakete zündet.
Die Solarwerte sind auch nicht innerhalb von 2 Monaten explodiert.
Also ich sehe das ganz entspannend mir an den Richtigen Zeitpunkt zum einstieg trifft man so oder so nicht.

so ähnlich seh ich das auch !!!!!!!!
sosix

realtime pre market  19,72$.
heute gehts erstmal wieder richtung 20$.   :-))

und heute richtung 17usd

nicht gut aus.
wurde auch auf hold gestuft.
sagt meiner meinung nach nichts über die firma aus.
desderwegen locker bleiben.
naja allerdings hätte ich mich auch gefreut einen passenderen einstiegszeitpunkt zu finden.
es werden bessere zeiten kommen.!!!

Ich kauf noch mal nach kann machen was will es kommt der Tag an dem man sich in den Alerwertesten beißt weil man nicht eingestiegen ist. Den richtigen Punkt zum einstieg trifft man eh nicht ob heute oder morgen.

werd auch nochmal kaufen .
allerdings werd ich momentan den ball flach halten.
GEDULD ist angesagt.
bin mir  nicht sicher wie lange dieser abwärtstrend anhält.
und solange die masse anderst entscheidet werd ich mich nicht gegen den trend stellen.
zahlen kommen am 11.11(mittwoch).
da wird man dann sehen wohin die reise geht!(wenigstens mal kurzfristig)

werden wir nach den zahlen wissen wohin uns die reise führt.
dann wird sich zeigen ob ich laaaaange oder seeeeehr laaaange investiert bleiben DARF.  :-))))

Vieau said, "During the third quarter, we signed a supply agreement for certain programs with BMW, received notice of a design win for a new application with an existing heavy duty customer and won several development projects in the automotive sector. We are also pleased that AES commissioned A123 Hybrid Ancillary Power Units in Chile during the third quarter, in addition to placing additional orders for deployment in North America. We are highly focused on establishing a strong market position in the electric grid services market, as we have in the automotive sector." Vieau added, "We were pleased to hear Chrysler's announcement on November 4, 2009, in which they reaffirmed their commitment to electric vehicles and combined both Fiat's European and Chrysler's U.S. programs in this area under the leadership of Chrysler's electric vehicle management. The high level of interest and design activity across our portfolio of customers and prospects, and in each of our target markets, is encouraging for A123's long-term growth."

Financial Highlights

Revenue: A123 Systems reported third quarter total revenue of $23.6 million, an increase compared to $22.9 million for the third quarter of 2008. Within revenue, product revenue of $20.0 million increased 42% compared to the third quarter of 2008, and research and development services revenue of $3.6 million decreased 59% over the same time period.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, A123 Systems reported total revenue of $66.5 million, an increase of 48% compared to the same period in 2008. Product revenue of $56.6 million increased 76% and research and development services revenue of $9.9 million decreased 23% for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, compared to the same period of 2008.

Gross Profit/(Loss): Gross profit was ($1.9) million in the third quarter, compared to $1.0 million in the third quarter of 2008. For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, gross profit was ($2.6) million, compared to ($3.7) million in the same period of 2008.

Net Income/(Loss): Net loss was ($22.8) million, or ($1.78) per share, based on 12.8 million weighted average common shares outstanding in the third quarter. The company ended the third quarter with approximately 102 million shares outstanding, with the increase from prior periods resulting from conversion of preferred stock at the time of the IPO, combined with new shares issued as part of the IPO process. Net loss was ($19.0) million, or ($2.06) per share, based on 9.2 million weighted average common shares outstanding in the third quarter of 2008.

Adjusted EBITDA: Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that is calculated by taking GAAP operating income (loss), adding depreciation and amortization and stock-based compensation. For the third quarter of 2009, adjusted EBITDA was ($16.3) million, compared to ($15.2) million in the third quarter of 2008.

A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP results has been provided in the financial statement tables included at the end of this press release. An explanation of these measures is also included below under the heading "Non-GAAP Financial Measures."

Cash: A123 Systems had cash and cash equivalents of $494 million at September 30, 2009, an increase from $115 million at the end of the prior quarter. The increase in cash was a result of net proceeds of approximately $391 million related to the completion of the company's initial public offering.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release contains a non-GAAP financial measure under the rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for adjusted EBITDA. This non-GAAP information supplements and is not intended to represent a measure of performance in accordance with disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles. Non-GAAP financial measures are used internally to manage the business, such as in establishing an annual operating budget. Non-GAAP financial measures are used by A123 Systems management in its operating and financial decision-making because management believes these measures reflect ongoing business in a manner that allows meaningful period-to-period comparisons. Accordingly, A123 Systems believes it is useful for investors and others to review both GAAP and non-GAAP measures in order to (a) understand and evaluate current operating performance and future prospects in the same manner as management does and (b) compare in a consistent manner the company's current financial results with past financial results. The primary limitations associated with the use of non-GAAP financial measures are that these measures may not be directly comparable to the amounts reported by other companies and they do not include all items of income and expense that affect operations. A123 Systems management compensates for these limitations by considering the company's financial results and outlook as determined in accordance with GAAP and by providing a detailed reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures in the tables attached to this press release.

offensichtlich erwartet.

The company lost $22.9 million, or $1.78 per share, in the three months ended Sept. 30 compared with a loss of $18.9 million a year ago.

Revenue rose to $23.6 million from $22.9 million a year ago.

Deutsche Bank analyst Dan Galves said A123's most important achievements include deals that will drive revenue growth.

Galves said the company signed a production contract with BMW, which he said validates its ability to win mainstream contracts, and is pursuing 7 light-duty vehicle programs, some of which will make sourcing decisions in the next several months.

That will be key for the company as it must reign in new revenue sources to bolster margins, the analyst said.

"Risks are centered around the revenue trajectory," Galves said. "Loss of expected programs would present downside and significant new business wins would present upside."




momentan hält sich der kurs um die 17-18$.
denke das ist ein gutes zeichen und wir können vielleicht dieses jahr wenigstens nochmal die 20$ sehen.
und so wie der analyst schreibt.
kommen schlechte nachrichten (keine verträge kommen zustande) gehts abwärts.
und kommen neue verträge zustande gehs aufwärts.
mal sehen ob sich die technologie durchsetzten wird !?

Clean technology has been one of the hottest sectors in 2009, and as such it is prone to some pretty heavy speculation. Case in point A123 Systems (NASDAQ: AONE - News), the Watertown, Massachusetts-based lithium ion battery maker whose third-quarter losses widened after its well-publicized, late-September initial public offering. The stock slipped on yesterday's earnings report, but the 3% uptick in total revenue and a new contract with BMW gave investors a reason to stay optimistic.

VentureBeat credits the A123's PR team for putting a positive spin on the mixed results, and noted that the company's success largely depends on growth in the electric car market, which could be years down the road. However, many major automakers have an electric offering in the works, so the battery sector's recent pullback could be a buying opportunity to get in on a technology that could eventually be a mainstay of the auto industry.

"The creation of these specific business organizations was a natural progression for the company as we continue to align our business offerings to best serve our customers, as well as put in place the infrastructure that we believe will help A123 Systems capitalize on our market opportunity and scale to much larger levels," said David Vieau, A123 Systems' president and chief executive officer. "We've added deep vertical expertise to our team as we take on new projects for customers who are eager to solve existing industry challenges by applying our battery cells and systems in innovative ways."

The Automotive Solutions Group, led by vice president Jason Forcier, works with major global automotive and heavy duty transportation manufacturers and tier-one suppliers to provide batteries and battery systems. This business group is comprised of dedicated engineering and product development experts and sales and marketing professionals with extensive automotive experience and locations in Michigan, Massachusetts, Germany and Asia. This business group will continue to work with automotive OEMs to offer customers a variety of choices in hybrid, plug-in hybrid and electric vehicle technology. A123's automotive portfolio includes relationships with major global automotive companies such as BMW, Chrysler, Renault/Better Place and Delphi/Shanghai Automotive Industry Corporation for passenger vehicle models; and Daimler, Magna Steyr and BAE Systems for heavy-duty transportation vehicles.

Forcier's prior experience as North American president of automotive electronics for Robert Bosch LLC will help A123 to grow its transportation business and encourage continued adoption of A123 technology in battery-powered automotive and heavy-duty vehicles, thus reducing our country's dependence on foreign oil and increasing our energy security.

The Cell Products Group, led by vice president Chris Tecca, will be responsible for the customer focused development and improvement of the battery cell products that form the basis for all of the company's offerings. This dedicated business group will improve upon A123's existing Nanophosphate technology and drive innovation through continual responsiveness to customer requirements. It will also explore new applications for A123's batteries that can benefit from A123's superior combination of battery power, safety and life.

Tecca's previous experience as managing director of GeesinkNorba, a subsidiary of the Oshkosh Corporation Company, as well as president at Danaher Power Solutions will play a key role in maintaining A123's high level of innovation, ensuring that new, innovative technology remain at the forefront of A123's product portfolios.

The Automotive Solutions Group and the Cell Products Group will operate alongside the existing Energy Solutions Group. Led by industry veteran Robert Johnson, the Energy Solutions Group designs and develops battery systems for the electric grid and consumer product markets among others. For the electric grid services market, A123 develops solutions that improve and enhance the efficiency of the electric grid in order to address the growing demand for alternative energy generation, in an effort to reduce CO2 emissions and meet renewable portfolio standards. As previously discussed, A123 has increased the level of resources dedicated to the electric grid market based on the anticipated size of the market opportunity and growing level of interest in the company's technology and battery systems. For the consumer market, A123 provides batteries with high power, long cycle life and high abuse tolerance to enable new applications.

Prior to this role, Johnson was senior vice president, president North America at APC-MGE, a $3 billion in revenue global provider of critical power and cooling services.

Item 1.01. Entry into Material Definitive Agreement

On November 20, 2009, A123 Systems, Inc. (the "Company"), entered into a MEGA Tax Credit Agreement with the Michigan Economic Growth Authority ("Agreement"). The Agreement provides for a tax credit equal to 50% of the Company's capital investment expenses related to the construction of integrated battery cell manufacturing plants in the state of Michigan. The maximum tax credit is $100 million over a four-year period. The maximum tax credit in any one tax year is $25 million. The Company must create 300 jobs no later than December 31, 2016 in order to receive the tax credit. The tax credit is subject to a re-payment provision in the event the Company relocates 51% of the 300 jobs outside of the State of Michigan within 3 years after the last year the Company received the tax credit.

The foregoing summary is subject to and qualified in its entirety by the terms of the Agreement attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.

Liebe Leser,   erst seit einigen Monaten ist der Zell- und Batteriehersteller A123 Systems (NASDAQ: AONE) an der NASDAQ gelistet. Die Aktie ist sehr volatil und lief nach dem IPO bei 13.50 USD bis 28 USD, um nun auf 16-17 USD zu korrigieren. A123 Systems generiert momentan noch Verluste, wurde aber von der US-Regierung mit 249 Millionen USD gefördert und hat namenhafte Investoren wie General Electric, das 9% an dem Unternehmen besitzt. Die Meldung vom 20. November 2009 war über einen MEGA Tax Credit-Vertrag mit der „Michigan Economic Growth Authority". Darin erhält A123 eine Steuerrückerstattung von 50% seines Investments, wenn es bis 2016 300 Arbeitsplätze im US-Staat Michigan schafft und dort seine Zellproduktionsfabrik für Batterien aufbaut. Die maximale Steuerrückerstattung ist 100 Millionen USD über 4 Jahre, pro Jahr 25 Millionen USD. Letztendlich ist A123 momentan als riskantes Investment anzusehen, das Unternehmen hat bereits eine Market Cap von ca. 1,5 Milliarden USD. Die aktuelle Bewertung muss erst noch durch hohe Wachstumsraten gerechtfertigt werden. A123 verfügt über eine Spitzentechnologie in der Zellchemie und starke Unterstützung aus Wirtschaft und Politik. Aus diesem Grunde können spekulative Investoren hier bei Kursschwäche zugreifen. Bitte solch ein Investment immer aktiv verfolgen und mit Stop-Kursen arbeiten.

The new venture, called Shanghai Advanced Traction Battery Systems Co. (ATBS), will seek to develop business throughout the entire Chinese transportation market and position A123 to strategically gain market share. ATBS will also be the preferential supplier of complete energy storage systems for all hybrid electric and pure electric vehicles manufactured by SAIC Motor and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. A123 Systems will supply the advanced automotive battery cells and work with SAIC Motor to design and develop the integrated battery systems for ATBS.

The venture's ownership will be held 51 percent by SAIC Motor and 49 percent by A123 Systems, with the management duties of the venture being shared equally between the parties.

In concert with this agreement, ATBS has been awarded a contract to supply battery systems for SAIC Motor's plug-in hybrid vehicle program. This program seeks to develop a plug-in hybrid vehicle that meets the growing demand for alternative-energy transportation in China.

SAIC Motor is also developing a broad overall portfolio of "new energy" vehicles. SAIC Motor previously disclosed plans for a hybrid Roewe 750 sedan and a plug-in hybrid version of the Roewe 550, which could cut fuel consumption by 20 percent and 50 percent respectively, in addition to plans for introducing electric vehicles on the market in 2012. The Roewe 550 and 750 will utilize A123 battery cells.

Recent battery tech IPO A123 (NASDAQ: AONE - News) shot higher on Thursday after announcing a joint venture with China's SAIC Motor.

A123 shares are ahead by 9% today after announcing a joint venture with leading Chinese automaker SAIC Motor. The companies will collaborate under the title Shanghai Advanced Traction Battery Systems to develop battery systems for hybrid and pure electric passenger vehicles, trucks, and busses. A123 CEO David Vieau said, "we look forward to building a team of outstanding employees to develop innovative battery technologies that we expect will be included in some of the highest quality hybrid and electric vehicles anywhere in the world."

First Solar (Nasdaq: FSLR), the thin-film king, made headlines this week on several fronts.

First, it announced that it's in talks to build a French manufacturing facility with partner EDF Energies Nouvelles. All of the plant's output would be sold to EDF EN for the first 10 years. This would mark First Solar's second European facility, after its German plant.

Second, and less encouraging, was some news on First Solar's pipeline of utility-scale projects. The company pulled one application in Colorado, while the Bureau of Land Management denied applications for four California projects that totaled around 2.5 gigawatts. A Wedbush Morgan analyst also warned that permitting issues and lawsuits could hamstring a 550-megawatt project elsewhere in California.

ATERTOWN, Mass., Jan. 14, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- A123 Systems (Nasdaq:AONE - News), a developer and manufacturer of advanced Nanophosphate(TM) lithium ion batteries and systems, today announced a battery supply agreement with Fisker Automotive, a new American automaker building premium green vehicles. The supply agreement is for battery systems for the Fisker Karma Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV). The Karma is scheduled to be launched in late 2010 and expected to be one of the cleanest, most fuel-efficient cars in the world while still offering industry-leading style and performance.

A123 Systems will provide Fisker Automotive with advanced automotive battery systems that combine high power and energy density with excellent safety and life performance -- characteristics required to meet Fisker's stringent technical specifications. Fisker Automotive and A123 will also collaborate on Fisker's Project Nina platform, with the intent of having A123 supply batteries for that vehicle based on meeting the automaker's performance and delivery requirements. Project Nina is expected to launch in 2012.

"Fisker Automotive selected A123 because of the company's ability to meet our performance needs and rapidly scale to our production volume," said Henrik Fisker, Chief Executive Officer of Fisker Automotive. "Fisker is committed to developing environmentally friendly cars that don't sacrifice style or performance. A123's technology will ensure the Karma delivers."

The multi-year agreement provides that A123 is the selected battery system supplier for the Fisker Karma. A123 plans to manufacture the cells and systems at its Livonia, Mich. facility with production slated to commence later this year.

"We believe the opportunity to supply batteries for Fisker's premium plug-in hybrid vehicles is further confirmation of the competitive advantages of A123's technology, including our ability to deliver on the critical safety, high power, useable energy and extended life requirements for PHEV applications," said David Vieau, President and Chief Executive Officer of A123 Systems. "A123 looks forward to a long partnership with Fisker Automotive that will help advance the future of transportation, improve fuel economy and reduce global CO(2) emissions."

Langfristig gutes Investment :
A123: Analyst Bryce Dille set a $16 target on the battery maker, asserting that given expectations of better than 100% compounded sales growth through 2012, the stock looks cheap. He sees sales of $136.1 million this year, $311.3 million next year and $743.4 million in 2012, with the company turning profitable in 2012. Dille thinks the company’s lithium ion batteries offer an effective solution for hybrid and plug-in hybrid cars, heavy duty transportation and certain grid-storage applications.
Vielleicht besser als kurzfristig schnell steigende und dann wieder fallende Aktien ?
Auf jeden Fall ein Renner wenn das Auto elektrisch wird ...!

ja ich war da beim ipo etwas zu euphorisch und hab die rechnung dafür bekommen.  aber wie du sagst . langfristig sicherlich eine gute entscheidung , deshalb hab ich mir wieder ein paar ins depot gelegt um in 5 jahren mal danach zu schauen. aber ich denke auch , daß da kein weg an a one vorbeiführt. und wenn dann die masse auf die aktie abfährt , hab ich meine schäfchen im trockenen.   .-))))

gruß sosix

Ich glaube du musst keine 5 Jahre warten ...!
a123 hat ein paar gute Vertraege abgeschlossen , SAIC , Fisker , auch Renault/Nissan und andere werden mit del Li/ION  Batterien von A123 fahren . Die haben Patente die die Nachahmung anderer Hersteller verhindern .
Ich glaube das Obama seine Millionen Foerdergelder da sicher nicht in den Sand gesetzt hat ...!
Bei ein paar guten Neuigkeiten kann es da ganz schnell wieder nach oben gehen , die Boerse antizipiert , die Aktien werden steigen sobald die ersten Elektrofahrzeuge auf den Markt kommen oder sogar schon vorher ...?
Die Zukunft ist elektrisch , da bin ich sicher nachdem ich ein paar Tests gesehen habe , ( Elektrosmart haengt Maserati in der Beschleunigung ab !) Vielleicht wird das so wie der Wechsel von der Schallplatte zur CD ?
Auf jeden Fall bringt die neue Technik Geld und Arbeitsplaetze und darum geht es ja ! Umweltfreundlichkeit gibt's dann noch dazu ! Wie gesagt : "sales of $136.1 million this year, $311.3 million next year and $743.4 million in 2012 "... Wenn es dann mit den Aktien im gleichen Verhaeltniss nach oben geht , kann mann eigentlich damit nichts falsch machen !!
Also , entspannt zuruecklehnen und abwarten !
Gruss

A123 Systems (AONE) upgraded at Deutsche from Hold to Buy. $17 price target. Recent customer announcement should drive meaningful sales and China may soon introduce incentives.

Get ready for a lot of battery talk
Mass-market electric cars are coming. This isn't news. It'll be a long time before electric vehicle power completely replaces internal combustion, but with mileage requirements heading sharply up in coming years, the world's automakers are scrambling to get cleaner and greener technologies out of the labs and onto dealer lots.

The big obstacle to affordable, practical electric cars has long been battery technology. Vast resources have been thrown at this problem in recent years, and results are finally at hand. Nissan's all-electric Leaf should be on the market by the end of this year, with the electric version of Ford's Focus following a few months later.

But it's the batteries that will make these cars -- and many, many more -- possible at affordable prices. The state of Michigan has provided incentives for electric-car-battery manufacturers, hoping both to spur mass production and to become a center for battery technology. Already, several companies -- including Johnson Controls (NYSE: JCI), A123 Systems (Nasdaq: AONE), and Dow Chemical (NYSE: DOW), which is based in Midland -- are taking advantage of the offer to build battery plants in the state, and more investment is expected.

Living with an EV
A lot of work is being done on making these cars easy to live with, as well. AeroVironment (Nasdaq: AVAV), best known for its military work, has partnered with Nissan to create in-home car chargers that operate on 220-volt circuits, speeding up recharging time significantly. The chargers will be made to a new global standard, and should work with any brand of electric car. Installation costs should be around $2,200, the company says.

But there are still many questions about the (massive) demands that electric cars will make on the nation's energy grid. Charging an electric car will double many households' energy consumption, according to some estimates, and while some thought has been put into managing that energy consumption on a household level -- Ford and Microsoft (Nasdaq: MSFT) are pairing up to utilize the software giant's "Hohm" system in upcoming vehicles -- the larger-scale questions will be occupying a lot of brainpower as these cars move toward mass adoption.

das hört sich doch gut an.
mal schaun was der kurs dazu sagt ?!!!!!

na heute ist vielleicht nicht der passende tag aber jetzt sollte sich da ein bisschen was bewegen!!

oder was meinst du Sansai ?

da gibts realtimekurse !

anscheinend juckt die neue bewertung niemand !!!   :-(((
kurs fällt !
hhhmmmmmmmmmmmm  ??!!!

Ja , es nervt zur Zeit etwas ... aber egal , es ist 'ne gute Aktie mit Potential , abwarten ist angesagt ..............
Am 11. nach Boersenschluss US , also nach 22 Uhr MEZ werden die Quartalszahlen von AONE vorgelegt .
Wenn dann auch nichts passiert , wuerde es mich wundern ?!
Verkaufen werde ich jedensfalls nicht mit einem Minus , da warte ich lieber etwas laenger ab .
Oel wird jedenfalls langfristig bestimmt nicht viel billiger , und die Oelfoerderung ist ja auch risikoreich wie man grade mal wieder sieht ...!
Nur keine Panik , es wird schon wieder ...!
Gruss

Hallo Sansai!


 werde die zahlen abwarten , wobei ich nicht glaube , daß sich da viel tun wird !  aber um die 8 werde ich nochmal nachlegen !!   .-))))))
wie gesagt , ich sehe das als laaaaaaaaaaaangzeit invest !   ;-)))

und mit dem öl hast du sicherlich auch recht. das wird nicht mehr billiger werden und die alternative muß her.
jetzt fehlen so in ein oder zwei jahren noch förderüprogrammen für elektroautos und dann knallts. wie seinerzeit als das mit solar war !
wir beide werden ganz vorne mit im boot sein !  hahahahaha
bis demnächst.
gruß sosix

wohl wahr !
aber das hat sie schon ein paarmal gemacht , aber leider nie gehalten !
mal schaun was heute passiert !
ich hoffe mal, daß ich mit meinen (ca. 8euronen einstieg ) nicht allzusehr daneben lag !    :-)))

aber wie gesagt             schaut seeeeehr schön aus der chart :   :-)))))))))))))

That latter expectation is probably behind the joint-venture deal that Mercedes-Benz's corporate parent Daimler (NYSE: DAI) just announced with Chinese battery-and-auto-maker BYD. The two companies are expected to release a jointly developed car in the near future, likely a Daimler-enhanced version of BYD's all-electric e6.

BYD, which is partly owned by Warren Buffet's Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: BRK-B), has previously said that it will launch the e6 in the U.S. by the end of this year, joining a long list of automakers promising new EVs by late this year or early 2011.

A whole lot of Leafs
Speaking of EVs due in late 2010, Nissan (OTC: NSANY.PK) on Thursday announced a $1.7 billion investment in a new lithium-ion battery factory in Smyrna, Tenn. When it opens in 2012, the plant will be able to supply battery packs for up to 200,000 vehicles annually -- and right next door is an assembly plant that will be able to produce up to 150,000 all-electric Nissan Leafs a year.

While Nissan probably isn't expecting those kinds of volumes initially -- CEO Carlos Ghosn recently said that the U.S. allocation of 2011 Leafs is already sold out, at 13,000 -- 150,000 Leafs a year is an ambitious number. Nissan is clearly counting on volume to make a reasonable profit at its announced $33,000 price for the Leaf. And they're counting on more than that -- the size of the new battery plant suggests that the Leaf will be joined by other Nissan EVs in the not-too-distant future.

Nissan wasn't the only automaker announcing a battery-plant investment this week -- Ford (NYSE: F) and start-up CODA Motors announced smaller, but similar, investments in plants in Detroit and Ohio, respectively. CODA is a southern California-based start-up that is planning to bring a Chinese-made electric four-door sedan to the U.S. market. When? You guessed it -- late this year.

Whether CODA delivers or not, it's clear that EVs are about to hit the mainstream in a big way.

But will any of these cars be fun to drive?
Just in case you horsepower fiends were starting to despair, imagining a future of shoebox-sized cars that sound like sewing machines and look like they were designed by Birkenstock, take heart: According to a report in the U.K.'s Auto Express, Volkswagen's super-mega high-end Bugatti division -- builders of the $1-million-plus 250-mph-plus Veyron supercar, a leading over-the-top status symbol among car-mad hedge fund managers worldwide -- has built an 800 horsepower electric sports car prototype.

It is unclear whether the car, said by someone close to the project to have "absolutely unbelievable" acceleration, will ever see production -- but if it does, expect drop-dead styling, mind-blowing performance ... and a seven-figure price tag.

Gestern ging's 10% hoch nachdem die Nachricht kam , das Afghanistan voller Lithium ist ...!
Hoffentlich geht's so weiter ...!

Positive Analystenkommentare haben zu voluminoesen Zukaeufen gefuehrt , der Boden scheint erreicht , kann jetzt eigentlich nur noch aufwaerts gehen ...!
Mal sehen ...
Noch guenstig zum Einsteigen , aber vielleicht nicht mehr lange , hoffe ich .
Noch ein Link zu einem neuen Auto , gepowered by A123 Batteries : karma.fiskerautomotive.com/
Nicht schlecht , oder ?
Haette selbst gerne so einen ...!

ja das auto sieht nicht verkehrt aus !   ;-)))))
wenn die "obamapolitik" durchgezogen wird , haben wir gute aussichten auf erfolg.
und momentan sieht a123 recht "günstig" aus. werd mir das noch ein wenig anschauen und dann nochmal auffüllen !!!!

@ sansai.
ich denke wir sind auf dem richtigen weg.
ende des jahres so bei 10 euronen , damit wäre ich für dieses jahr schon mal zufrieden !   .-)))))))

Na , ich glaube mit 8 Euros Einstiegspreis bist du gut dabei !
Ich habe zu 12 Euros gekauft , dann noch mal bei 6,5 Euros nachgekauft , bin aber immer noch bei 10 Euros Einstandspreis , also noch kraeftig im - !!
Aber egal , ich meine , das es schon bald wieder ueber die 10 Euro marke geht ...!
Es ist einfach Zeit fuer einen Wechsel auf neue Energien , frueher oder spaeter kommt das !
Die Amis wollen nicht mehr vom , ( arabischen ) , Oel abhaengig sein , und die Chinesen favorisieren schon lange alternative Antriebe da die zunehmende Zahl von PKW's in China zu grosse Umweltbelastungen erzeugt !
Obama hat in seiner letzten Rede zu diesem Thema keinen Zweifel daran geklassen , wohin der  Zug faehrt ...!

A123 Systems (Nasdaq: AONE)
This maker of advanced battery systems was initially a hot IPO, but perhaps came out just a bit too early. The company posted several lackluster quarters after going public, sending shares down from $28 to under $8. Shares have started to rebound in recent sessions back up $10 as investors start to realize they were judging the company's results while the electric car market has yet to really take off. But it will. Soon after the Nissan (NSANY.PK) Leaf is released in late 2010, a slew of additional electric cars will hit the market from companies like Mitsubishi (MSBHY), Smart, Chrysler/Fiat and perhaps BMW.

As investors start to re-focus on this potentially massive market, shares are likely to turn over a new leaf, perhaps back up above the $20 mark. The next few quarters will likely be lackluster for A123 Systems, so these shares will only benefit in a rallying market as investors once again focus on high-growth opportunities.

Die machen keinen Profit auf absehbare Zeit  !  alles nur blabla ...! Die interessanten Auftraege sind an die Konkurrenten gegangen , von A123 gibt es nur Absichtserklaerungen die nichts wert sind !

Die naechsten Quartale werden genauso schlecht sein , vielleicht in 2011 oder 2012 , wenn man so lange durchhaelt !

Besser verkaufen oder hat noch einer Hoffnung das sich bald was aendert ?

aber wer weiß wie weit es noch herunter geht.
aktuell 6,53€ all time low schon in sichtweite...

würd mir das erstmal bis 5,00€ von der seitenlinie anschauen.

Gestern hat jemand seine A123 Aktien fuer 4,02 Euros verkauft !
Das scheint ein realistischer Kurs zu sein !

The Road Ahead
Ironically, if the prior three paragraphs really matter to you, this is probably not the right stock for you at this point. It would be nice to see improvement in shipments and margins, but these are very early days in A123's commercialization process. Right now, deals are arguably much more important than current revenue.

To that point, the news has been mixed lately. A123 has a relatively broad customer base and clients like Fisker and Navistar (NYSE:NAV) still seem to be on track to ramp up in 2011. Unfortunately, the company is seeing delays in grid orders (apparently an "order timing" issue) and the company is no longer working with Chrysler. On this later point, it looks like A123 walked away or refused to match a lower-priced bid from a rival - is this a sign of A123 prudently turning down self-destructive business, or a warning sign that A123's cost structure could be problematic?

The Bottom Line
I still like A123's technology, and I still think the company has a fighting chance to be a significant player in the emerging high-end battery market. It is clearly going to be a crowded market, though, and large companies like Sanyo (Nasdaq:SANYY), Panasonic (NYSE:OC), and Johnson Controls (NYSE:JCI) have ample R&D resources and long histories in the industrial battery markets. Apart from that, there are other emerging tech rivals like BYD (Nasdaq:BYDDY) and Ener1 (Nasdaq:HEV) that could steal a march on A123.

TWST: What is your top-rated stock today and why?

Mr. Galves: We have "buy" ratings on Ener1 and A123. Like I said before, we also think Tesla is going to be a winner in this space. I think we are most positive on A123 currently. The stock currently trades at only about 1.5 times book value. That implies very little expectations for a stock with this much potential growth. Yet when we talk to automakers and other battery competitors, they all consider A123 a top five player in the industry for the long term. We think that they have a very strong long-term potential, and we see some near-term catalysts. One of their key customers is Fisker Automotive, another startup automaker.

Danke für die Info, das liest sich doch gut! Kannst du die Quelle angeben? Danke und ein schönes Wochenende

Denke, dass es hier in den nächsten Jahren noch stark aufwärts geht.
Vor allem auch der Markt für "grid storage" hat m.E. viel Potential.

habe in einem anderen Thread (vergessen welcher) nachgelesen, dass in China demnächst 20 Millionen Elektroroller an den Markt gebracht werden, aufgrund der herben Smog und Platzprobleme in den Ballungsgebieten... Weiss einer wer da die Batterien liefert? Ich glaube es waren entweder Advanced Battery oder BAK Battery. Auf jeden Fall glaube ich auch, dass es mit dem Batteriensektor sehr bald hoch hinaus gehen wird! Ich suche aber weiterhin noch formidable Anlagemöglichkeiten, bin zur Zeit nur bei A123 dabei... 

danke für die schnelle antwort mit dem link !
bin eben erst wieder hier !  :-))

@MarkDollar
denke auch daß da viel potential drinsteckt.
ich war da letztes jahr allerdings zu euphorisch !
mal schaun ob es dieses jahr langt um ein paar plus prozente einzufahren.

ich denke BYD ist vielleicht noch eine variante.
die hab ich auch schon ne ganze weile auf der watch.

Danke für die Info, werde ich auch mal beobachten... Darf ich fragen, wieso du gerade BYD interessant findest?

Was haltet ihr davon?

www.finanzen.net/fonds/Absolut_Fund_-_Absolut_Future_Mobility

naja BYD ist Chinesisch. und die sind ganz groß im kommen (meiner meinung nach) und BYD deckt ein breites spektrum ab , was elektro angeht !  also batterien , autos usw. da kommt praktisch alles aus einer hand. sie hatten auch (als mit einer der ersten) das elektroauto "salonfähig" zu machen. allerdings ging das dann letztes jahr mit den prognosen voll in die hose(konnten die absatzzahlen nicht erreichen) erschwerend kommt dazu , daß sie plagiate benutzen wollen (weiß nicht , ob das im moment noch im vordergrund steht. aber für die watch allemal interessant.  und china ist doch sicherlich ein reizvoller markt.und irgendjemand hier im thread hat was von elektrorollern erzählt und wenn ich mich nicht ganz täusche(bin aber nicht wirklich sicher) haben BYD da auch ihre finger drin !
alla hopp

heute kommen nachbörslich die Zahlen für Q4 und das Gesamtjahr 2010.

ir.a123systems.com/releasedetail.cfm?ReleaseID=547952

@sosix: BYD ist bestimmt sehr interessant, vor einem Einstieg würd ich jedoch den Bruch des Abwärtstrends seit April 2010 abwarten, vielleicht geht's vorher NOCH weiter runter!?!

Spannend wird es, ob Sie 2012 (mit erheblicher Verspätung) endlich die ersten Autos in USA und EU anbieten und ob der Markt die Wagen auch annimmt.

Auch A123 wird volatil bleiben, bis die ersten Gewinne eingefahren werden; und das kann noch dauern. Für mich sind beide Aktien klare Langfristinvestments.

also ich stimme da in allen punkten , die du vorgebracht hast zu !!   :-))

leider war ich seinerzeit mit A123 zu euphorisch.
aber als langzeit invest denke , kann man da nicht falsch liegen !

ja bei BYD warte ich noch auf den "richtigen" (den es eh nie gibt   ;-.)))   )einstiegszeitpunkt.
aber ich bin bei beiden zuversichtlich !
schau ma mal. !!

ja da wird man morgen oder übermorgen sicherlich nochmal billiger reinkommen.
ich kenn das szenario ja schon.
alles was über 6 euro bleibt , ist für mich ok !  :-))

vorbörslich kantterts da ganz schön. hätte ich nicht gedacht.
langsam scheint es aufwärts zu gehen.  :-))
momentaner handel bei fast 10$(9,92ask).
da hab ich mich gestern doch glatt vertan !

na jetzt kommt doch der absturz.
schade !!

seekingalpha.com/article/...utionize-green-energy?source=yahoo

sehr interessant !!!!!
muß ich mir nochmal in ruhe durchlesen.
vielleicht doch zu BYD wechseln !  :-))))

... was ist denn mit dem Kurs los? -14,5%?

ja das waren die gestrigen zahlen. da rumpelts immer kräftig im karton !  :-))
das wird sich die nächsten tage wieder beruhigen !   .-)))

aber sieht schon böse aus !!   :-)))

danach aussieht !

Press Release Source: The Bedford Report On Monday March 21, 2011, 7:35 am EDT

NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwire - 03/21/11) - Following President Obama's pledge of getting one million electric cars on the road by 2015, electric powered vehicle production is expected to grow significantly in the coming years. Lithium ion batteries are considered the most significant factor for the success of modern electric vehicles. Lithium ion batteries use various materials depending on the purpose, with cobalt, nickel, manganese and lithium typically being the primary elements. The Bedford Report examines the outlook for companies in the Industrial Electrical Equipment Industry and provides research reports on A123 Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:AONE - News) and Ener1, Inc. (NASDAQ:HEV - News). Access to the full company reports can be found at:

Despite losing its bid to produce batteries for the Chevrolet "Volt" last year, A123 Systems remains one of the most recognizable names in lithium-ion battery design. A123 recently announced a production contract with an unnamed "major North American automaker" to provide batteries for an electric car debuting in 2013.

das sieht gar nicht gut aus.
das kann jetzt ne gaaaaaaaanze weile dauern bis es wieder bergauf geht !
schade ! .-(
na die hoffnung stirbt zuletzt !

In Brandenburg wird gerade eine fabrik zur Erzeugung von Wasserstoff ( H2 ) , mit Strom aus erneuerbaren Energien , gebaut .
Dies ist die erste weltweit , aber es ist gut moeglich , das bald weitere folgen ...
Es sind zur zeit noch 2 KW Strom noetig um H2 mit einem Brennwert von 1 KW zu erzeugen , also eine 50% Effektivitaet .
Wasserstoff kann in einem modifizierten Verbrennungsmotor zum Einsatz kommen , also nur geringe technische Veraenderungen bei Autos noetig .
H2 wird es an Tankstellen geben , also auch keine Reichweitenprobleme mehr ...!
Wenn der Strom zur Erzeugung zu 100 % aus Wind , solar , und Wasserkraft kommt ,
wird null CO2 produziert , denn das einzige was aus dem Auspuff der Autos kommt , ist Wasser !!
Elekrofahrzeuge werden wohl mehr nur im Stadtverkehr zum Einsatz kommen ...

Vielleicht besser in Aktien von Solar , Wind usw. investieren ...?
Aone , VORSICHT !! , wird schon als Pleitekandidat gehandelt ...

Breaking News :
Google kauft 49% des Brandenburger Solarkraftwerks ...!
Na ja , die wissen schon was sie tun ...

scheint mir diese Aktie zu sein.

schaut ganz so aus, als verkauft der aktionär die aktie gerade als aktienreport.

www.aktienreports.de/detail/1258/...-smart-grid-und-wind-.html

obwohl, kgv stimmt nicht. ist vielleicht doch ne andere, oder?

Ist ja recht ruhig hier...

Die Performance der A123-Zellen ist hervorragend, und die OEMs sind massiv an den Elektroautos dran. Das die ganze F&E Unsummen an Geld verschlingt, haben wir beim letzten Quartalsbericht gesehen. Aber die Amis können es sich nicht leisten, diesen Wert über den Jordan gehen zu lassen, denn dann müsste GM weiterhin bei den Asiaten die Batterypacks einkaufen.

überleg ich es mir, hier eine erste Posi einzugehen
glaube nach wie vor an die Zukunft, und die kann eigentlich nur grün sein.
Mit grün meine ich grüne Zukunftstechnologien die die Menschheit dringender denn je braucht.
Nur wann die Talsohle überschritten wird kann ich auch nicht sagen, deßhalb werde ich hier demnächst sukzessive einsteigen und immer wieder mal nachkaufen.

1,0 steig ich ein

beim morgigen Rücksetzer sollte man einsteigen

A123 Systems to Supply Six Battery Energy Storage Solutions to Northern Powergrid for the U.K.'s Largest Smart Grid Project Advanced Lithium Ion Storage Systems Designed to Enable Smarter U.K. Electricity Distribution Networks

WALTHAM, Mass., Feb. 10, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- A123 Systems (Nasdaq:AONE),  a developer and manufacturer of advanced Nanophosphate® lithium ion  batteries and systems, today announced that it will supply six Grid  Battery Systems™ (GBSs) to Northern Powergrid,  an electricity distribution network operator that delivers power to  more than 3.8 million customers in the U.K. The GBSs will be designed  for peak-load shifting and to manage fluctuations in voltage on the  U.K.'s power grid. Expected to be operational by the end of 2012, the  systems will be deployed as part of the Customer-Led Network Revolution  (CLNR), the U.K.'s largest smart grid project funded through the Office  of the Gas and Electricity Markets' (Ofgem) Low Carbon Networks Fund. "The CLNR will evaluate a number of innovative network technologies to  accommodate increasing quantities of low-carbon loads and renewable  generation necessary to meet the U.K.'s climate change goals. One aspect  of this multifaceted project is to determine how the use of storage  technology may reduce peak loading on our network and thereby offset the  need for network reinforcement," said Jim Cardwell, head of regulation  and strategy at Northern Powergrid. "A123's battery energy storage  systems will showcase how such technology can be part of the U.K.'s  low-carbon future." A123's GBS storage systems, which include the company's Smart Grid Domain Controller™,  are designed to provide Northern Powergrid with robust solutions to  more efficiently manage voltage regulation requirements to help maintain  grid stability and power quality as more clean energy resources are  added. The six GBSs that A123 will supply to Northern Powergrid include a  2.5MW system, two 100kW systems and three 50kW systems. Each will be  designed to maintain these power capabilities for up to two hours,  adding flexibility to the distribution network and helping to provide  consistent delivery of reliable power to customers. "Grid operators around the world are faced with a variety of technical  hurdles when trying to add significant renewable capacity. In the U.K.,  distribution networks often have limitations that make adding high  concentrations of wind and solar difficult," said Robert Johnson, vice  president of the Energy Solutions Group at A123. "Battery energy storage  can overcome these challenges by efficiently managing the voltage  levels of the power network, and we look forward to working with  Northern Powergrid on the CLNR smart grid project, which we view as an  excellent opportunity for A123 to showcase the versatility and  performance of our GBS solutions."
