Frage an die Profis hier im Forum:
Heisst das GTAT hat sich eine Erlaubnis eingeholt um $ 35 Mio eigene Aktien über die Börse zu verkaufen?
Wäre wohl nicht gerade optimal für die weitere Kursentwicklung, Kurs geht die letzten Tage ja auch einiges nach unten, habe jetzt nochmal nachgekauft, sind ja immer noch gut über der 50 Tage Linie und die nächste Zeit sollte zumindest charttechnisch spannend werden.
Ich hoffe hier im GTAT Forum gibt es auch mal wieder etwas mehr Bewegung, wo seid ihr alle?

Short-Squeeze voraus!

Apple will neue Saphirglas-Fabrik schnell in Betrieb nehmen
Laut einem Bericht von 9to5mac arbeitet Apple mit Hochdruck daran, seine neue Saphirglas-Fabrik in Arizona in Betrieb zu nehmen. Noch im Februar solle die Arbeit aufgenommen werden, um dort im Laufe des Jahres Einzelteile für neue Apple-Produkte herstellen zu können. 9to5mac liegen Dokumente vor, die belegen sollen, dass es sich bei diesen Einzelteilen um Komponenten handelt, die nie zuvor in ähnlicher Form in Apple-Produkten zu finden waren.
iPhones mit Saphirglas wären weniger anfällig für Kratzer auf dem Bildschirm, und die Technologie könnte auch in anderen Produkten wie iPads, iPods oder gar einer iWatch verwendet werden, spekuliert der Blog.

Some revealing remarks have been recently made at the Corning annual investor meeting. Having read the transcript, I stand by the following opinions:
Sapphire is not comprehensively better than Gorilla glass as a screen cover material.
Gorilla glass will remain the dominant screen cover glass.
Corning remains an excellent long term investment opportunity.
Let us explore these points one by one.

The New Hampshire-based company has been adding value on reports Apple (AAPL_) will use its displays in future iPhones. According to 9to5Mac, the company recently ordered additional inspection tools used to produce the sapphire displays. At its capacity, GT Advanced could make up to 200 million screens each year.

During 2013, the company made the strategic decision to forego ASF equipment sales while building out its new sapphire materials capacity. This decision has had, and will have, a clear negative impact on the company's fourth quarter and full year results for 2013 and near term future results.
Revenue for the fourth quarter came in at $32.6 million including $2.5 million in polysilicon, $11.3 million in photovoltaic (PV), and $18.8 million in sapphire. This compares to revenue in the third quarter of $40.3 million and $102.3 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012. Revenue for the year ended December 31, 2013 was $299.0 million compared to $733.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2012.
At the end of the fourth quarter, the balance sheet had cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash of $593.0 million and debt of $283.9 million. This compares to $418.1 million of cash and cash equivalents at the end of the fourth quarter of calendar 2012 which included $297.0 million of total debt. During the fourth quarter, the company received the first of a series of prepayments under its multi-year sapphire material supply agreement with Apple. Additionally, the company completed a concurrent common stock and convertible debt offering in December 2013 that resulted in net proceeds of approximately $290.0 million. The company also paid off an outstanding term loan of $96.0 million.
As of December 31, 2013, the company's total backlog was $602.2 million comprised of equipment orders only. This included $298.7 million in the polysilicon segment, $11.3 million in the PV segment and $292.1 million in the sapphire segment. New orders during the fourth quarter of calendar 2013 were $23.8 million. The company adjusted backlog down by approximately $47.3 million during the quarter primarily related to an arrangement with an ASF customer that was modified. All orders for sapphire material have been and will continue to be excluded from backlog going forward.
Business Outlook
The company expects that 2014 will be a transformational year, one in which it builds a sapphire materials business while continuing to invest in the new technologies that will drive its equipment business in 2015 and beyond.
The company expects that revenue and profitability will be back end loaded, with its sapphire materials business ramping as the year progresses, and with improving financial performance during the second half of 2014.
On an annualized basis, during 2014, the company expects revenues to range from $600 million to $800 million, with approximately 15% of total revenues occurring in the first half of the year. The company expects that its sapphire segment will account for more than 80% of total revenue in 2014.....
Zahlen waren ja ganz gut, die Prognosen auch... so kann es weitergehen.

und der ist blendend
bin bei den „Zahlen“ bei GTAT meist auf „sapphire“ fixiert.
Obwohl die auch schon wesentlich besser waren, sehe ich doch die Quartalssteigerung durchaus positiv.
Und die Prognose - „The company expects that its sapphire segment will account for more than 80% of total revenue in 2014“- ist natürlich ausschlaggebend.
Gesamtergebnis war natürlich nicht berauschend.
Revenue for the third quarter came in at $40.3 million including $28.6 million in polysilicon, $4.4 million in photovoltaic (PV), and $7.3 million in sapphire.
Revenue for the fourth quarter came in at $32.6 million including $2.5 million in polysilicon, $11.3 million in photovoltaic (PV), and $18.8 million in sapphire.
wenn man sieht wie der Kurs nach oben schiesst. :-)
bin zwar dabei - mal sehen wie weit das geht. :-)

One of the most interesting findings within this patent was related to PV (photovoltaic), specifically the creation of a triple junction PV cell and the ability to incorporate the thin (PV cell) lamina into an electronic device. Not only does GT have the ability to create thin film solar cells but they also have the ability to stack the thin film solar cells to form a triple junction PV cell that is still less than 25 microns thick before it is incorporated into an electronic device all while rocking a 40%+ efficiency rating. Below are some details from the epitaxial growth on thin lamina patent........
