Statement von GCL Management.
Eventuell tragen die Mo*****fu**** von S&P mit ihrem scheiß BB+ Rating auch nicht unwesentlich Verantwortung für den Kursrutsch. Hatte ich ja auch schon auf dem Schirm (s.o.), die Shortseller hat Bloomberg aber nicht mit in der Rechnung. Habe ich denen mal geschrieben. ;-)
Hoffentlich kommen jetz die scheiß Banken und decken sich mit Shares ein bis sie dran ersticken. ;-) Ich habe meine behalten. ;-) ;-)
Auf eine grüne Nacht,

GCL-Poly Can’t Explain Six-Day Stock Slide, Says Business Is ‘Normal’
By Joshua Fellman - May 19, 2011 10:30 PM GMT+0200
GCL-Poly Energy Holdings Ltd. (3800), China’s largest polysilicon maker, said operations are normal, production and sales are on schedule and expansion is going smoothly, and it can’t explain its falling share price.
The stock fell for a sixth consecutive day in Hong Kong trading yesterday, dropping 47 Hong Kong cents, or 10 percent, to HK$4.09. It has lost 27 percent since May 11, while the benchmark Hang Seng Index slipped 0.6 percent over the same period. GCL-Poly addressed the decline in a statement issued yesterday after the market closed.
Prices and margins are being squeezed in the solar industry, from wafers to cells to modules. The spot price of polysilicon, the main raw material used to make photovoltaic panels, dropped 5.1 percent this month from April to $74.40 a kilo, according to data compiled by Bloomberg New Energy Finance.
“What you’re seeing is a realization that polysilicon will not be immune from the supply issues roiling the industry,” Paul Leming, an analyst at Soleil Securities Corp. in New York, said in a phone interview today. GCL-Poly has “huge exposure to falling wafer and polysilicon prices.”
Still, the market hasn’t noticeably deteriorated in the past week, and most equity analysts seem bullish about the stock, said Jenny Chase, head of solar analysis at New Energy Finance. Of 20 analysts tracked by Bloomberg who follow GCL- Poly, 19 recommend that investors buy the stock. There is only one “sell” rating.
Credit Ratings
“The slide in GCL-Poly’s share price could possibly be related to its first credit ratings, by S&P and Fitch last week,” Chase wrote in an e-mail. Some investors may have expected higher ratings.
Standard & Poor’s Rating Services rated GCL-Poly BB+, the highest non-investment grade, and its proposed bonds BB, the second-highest. Fitch Ratings gave the company and the issue BBB-, the lowest investment grade.
The company is “susceptible to high industry risk” and has a short record of large-scale operations, S&P said on May 13. The ratings company said GCL-Poly’s outlook is stable because of “strong market position and competitive cost structure.”
GCL-Poly said its board “has noted the recent decrease of the price of the shares of the company and wish to state that they are not aware of any reasons for the decrease,” according to the statement.
