Re: Hydro power - simple snapshot based on December quarter
HPWR needs to show some profit for next quarter (it was in profit if you take out the thermal power so it should be in good profit now) and also a possible dividend. They have cash but possible they might pay off some debt with it. Any idea on the effects of capital reduction?
HPFL too needs to show some more profits to get more people interested. Most want to see that profit on paper before investing. This is where those who identify the earnings early become the winners!
VPEL - expecting little or no profit this quarter. Looking at the price I guess market has identified this, although if they keep up the earnings in Sep and Dec quarter, this is worth more.

Re: Hydro power - simple snapshot based on December quarter
Bottom-line, I'm expecting little or nothing this quarter. Let's see. But taking a 12 month view, still worth for the dividends.

Only reason to reduce the stated capital is to move the reduced amount into retained earnings. Once it is in retained earnings it can be paid out as dividends. Since management now owns shares in the company through Trydan the resus monkey might give out a reasonable dividend within the next 6 months.

HPFL and HPWR consolidating at current prices while PAP had some buying from an existing stakeholder.

HPWR dividend getting closer perhaps. Ned shareholder approval for capital reduction.
HPFL dividend is possible too after the bumper quarter.

Re: Hydro power - simple snapshot based on December quarter
* Since the beginning of the thread, HPFL has given the best gains including a bumper dividend followed by VLL.
* VPEL is generating extremely good return on equity and payout out almost everything, thus a good dividend yield.
* Expectations are high on HPWR dividend. Once that is paid out, ROE will be much better than what's shown.
* VLL is reinvesting most of the profits in the business with possible good future growth
* HPFL is still not at 100% but showing good signs. Increased trading activity as well.

Guys, What do you think about last quarter results, will be good
As per my opinion, the whole sector appreciated for last few months, some are still standing strong

Re: Hydro power - simple snapshot based on December quarter
This is my prediction for VPEL. I'm not sure about others as my prediction the last quarter was wrong for them.
We need to watch out for HPWR's results. To me I'm wondering whether the repurchase price is really fair, in addition that is in Sept. So almost two quarters more from the last reported results. Will it be fair by then?

Re: Hydro power - simple snapshot based on December quarter
Regarding VPEL, we have seen their earnings has improved in Q1
If they continue their results of Q2, Q3 and Q4 as previous year, i guess, it reaches EPS around 1.10 - 1.25,, Dividend will be other plus point and that would be at least 5% - 6%
Of course, Mostly, results based on adequate rain-fall throughout the year
Note : Not holding VPEL

Illusion mentioned about finance cost and I agree. Although volumes fell, revenue might still improve due to tariff. Cost benefits will also add to the bottom line.

Expect EPS less than 0.50/- for this quarter if there is no increase in tariff and if same trend continues in September.

Well it did reach a low of 7 if I'm right for quite some time. This went past 9 when the last dividend was announced.
It has a new plant in operation which contributed a bit for June quarter.

Re: Hydro power - simple snapshot based on December quarter
Anyway it has enough cash generated during this period to pay. I don't think HPFL has any new projects so it can use the cash for dividends. But as per HPWR annual report, tariff has reduced and only way these companies can increase future revenue is by new plants.
VPEL also in same boat where it has good cashflow.
HPWR, PAP and VLL have new projects ongoing.
