Cavico Reports Third Quarter Fiscal 2009 Results
Backlog Increases to $290.3 Million at September 30, 2009
Nov. 16, 2009 (Business Wire) -- Cavico Corp. (NASDAQ: CAVO), a leading infrastructure development company based in Vietnam, today reported its financial results for the third quarter ended, September 30, 2009.
Total revenues grew 17.0% to $17.2 million in third quarter, from $14.7 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2008. The increase in third quarter total revenues was primarily the result of increased revenue in Civil Construction, which accounted for 87.0% of total revenues and Commercial Activities. On a sequential basis, total revenue increased 23.7% from $13.9 million reported in the second quarter of fiscal 2009.
“As Vietnam’s largest engineering and construction contractor with a national presence servicing almost exclusively public sector clients, our third quarter results reflects the continuing rebound in the country’s economy after last year’s global recession,” said Mr. Ha Quang Bui, chairman and chief executive officer of Cavico Corp. “We are pleased with our robust top-line growth, benefiting from the progress of our Civil Construction projects involving tunnels, ports and highways. The construction boom in Vietnam was in response to the government stimulus. Also, the country’s soaring car ownership has spurred the need for better infrastructure. According to a recent research report by Credit Suisse, Vietnam’s GDP is forecast to grow 5.3% this year and 8.5% in 2010, after averaging around 7.5% each year for the past decade.”
Mr. Bui continued, “Against this favorable macro economic backdrop, Cavico is well positioned with our long history of operations in civil projects and our recent foray into mining and power plant construction. On September 18, Cavico became the first Vietnamese company listed on a U.S. national securities exchange. With a presence on the NASDAQ Capital Market, we are able to gain much more visibility among growth-oriented emerging market investors around the world. We will continue to improve corporate governance and our transparency and focus on creating long-term value for shareholders.”

Obviously they increased the price for the shares they offer to the market. Now it is US$ 8 instead of US$ 7.01.
Look at the filing from 13-Oct-2009:

I agree that you cannot fault people for wanting to sell and make profits but my guess is that a higher percentage of people are selling because of the last 4 or 5 days of sell off and are afraid it won't go back up. There are 2 things that make a pps move. One is earnings and the other is emotion or (fear / courage). Cavo will definitly go up quite a bit more before it hits its peak.
2 things to consider.
If your in at a low low price then hold and you will increase your earnings.
If your at a higher price and you sell then you took a loss.
The USA economy is going to slowly improve and the other countries will follow suit. Cavico is a smart company and will continue to stay strong as it has been. Whats the rush to sell? We already road out the worst part of the storm. I just don't see a upside to selling right now unless of course one is affraid of there own shadow. Just sayin.......
You can't fault people for wanting to make a quick buck if they can but I believe that Cavico is going places and that those that owned stock in Cavico but sold are going to regret that choice. I don't know what people think would be considered a large holding but for myself its close to 10,000 shares. I think that at the rate of growth for Vietnam that in five to ten years a person wouldn't even recognize the place from all the changes that will take place with its infrastructure. I have all the patience that it takes to see what the future will bring for Vietnam and Cavico.
Good luck to all
This stock is aching to grow in price per share but the people filled with the MOST fear are selling. Stop selling and let it get way up there.
me too sonny

It looks like its coming around Mike..I wish our old friend Walt(wallstreetman) still alive and witness how CAVO is doing now..
"I'm up over 40% now!" and I don't feel guilty saying it. I've been pretty consistent in posting in both good and bad times. Now only if CAVO would get up to 400 or so, then I can retire.
I have a Viet mutual fund and actually it's up a lot (but still I'm 10% under water) but CAVO's move is actually part of an across the board move for all Vietnam stocks and all global stocks in general. CAVO has done much better, probably due to the NASDAQ listing and being the first to list in USA so that strategy seems to be paying off.
Checking Yahoo's CAVO stats looks worse than I thought, though, especially P/E. If CAVO goes any higher, I may start doing what I'm doing with other stocks (mainly China), selling off enough to guarantee profits and letting the other half ride to a bubble before selling.
Zoo
I'm braking even at 14$ :) maybe I will add some more, things look good here!
Good luck oldherder. I would settle for that as well.
Could happen by the looks of things .
deep
A double from here will get me even. Even is not good enough, I need that 400% to pay for all the distress. LOL
Still need around 400 % up from here to break even .
Go baby go. I hope were at the starting line of a good track record now

We finally made it. I wonder if the ride will begin? Anyone buying more? I'm considering a little more.
oh come on

No thoughts. I'm long. Just thought you might have thoughts on who is stating this stock is a scam and associating you to hyping this scam. I sent you a privae E-mail to make you aware of that yahoo message in case you hadn't seen it.

Cavico Completes Construction of the Dasiat Hydropower Plant
HANOI, Vietnam--(BUSINESS WIRE)--September 8, 2009-- Cavico Corp. (OTCBB: CAVO), a leading infrastructure development company based in Vietnam, today announced that its wholly owned subsidiary, Cavico Hydropower Construction JSC (“Cavico Hydropower”), has completed the construction of the Dasiat Hydropower Plant and has begun the process of transferring the project over to Southern Hydropower Joint Stock Company, the project’s owner.
Cavico Hydropower started this $4.6 million construction project in July 2006. Cavico Hydropower constructed and supplied equipment for waterways including surge tanks, intakes, the headrace tunnel, and other construction related work surrounding the valve house. Cavico Hydropower used the blasting method to construct a headrace tunnel which is 1.44 miles long and 91 inches in diameter. The tunnel is considered to be the narrowest tunnel ever constructed in Vietnam by Cavico.
The Dasiat Hydropower Plant is located on the main flow of the Dasiat River, which is downstream from Dong Nai 3 and Dong Nai 4 hydropower plants, in Lam Dong Province, approximately 99 miles from Da Lat City and 155 miles north of Ho Chi Minh City. The hydropower plant has been designed and engineered to have 13.5 megawatts capacity and is expected to supply 57.7 million kilowatt-hours of electricity per year to the region.
“We are very pleased to announce the completion of Dasiat Hydropower Plant as per schedule,” commented Mr. Hai Thanh Tran, vice president of Cavico Corp. “We will continue with the process of completely handing over the project to Southern Hydropower Joint Stock Company next month.”

Cavico has been working all this time. Now we longs will see the fruit of all those contracts.
LOS ANGELES & HANOI, Vietnam -- Cavico Corp. ("Cavico" or "the Company") (OTCBB:CVIC), a leading infrastructure development company in Vietnam, today announced that on April 22, 2009 the Company's subsidiary, Cavico Vietnam entered into an agreement with Laos Ministry of Planning and Investment to explore and exploit copper, gold, and other ores in Muang Hom district, Vientiane province, Laos.
This was fun. I went to cnbc.com entered cavo. next I clicked "peers". Lo and behold, Cavico has tracked the S&P over the last year.
The problem for me has been the T/A. The price has dropped so far by the time my shares show up I wont sell. I to belive this is a great buy here.
A dropping share price on a reverse split happens 9 time out of 10. So don't be supprised. Big concern on this stock is they did this to bring bigger named in vestors in by wanting to list on NASDAQ well they now will have about a 3 million dollar OS which means it is too small for that kind of investor so. Look for CAVICO to do what most do. Add shares and dilute the stock to bring in the bigger investors. That is why 9 out of 19 time the stock falls after a reverse stock split. I am not surprised a bit. Question is will it drop below $4 dollars a share before the end of this month
Whats your bet??
It is very interesting that the share price is dropping after the reverse split. We had a constant price between $0.14 and $0.16 for about 4 months before the split which is equivalent to $5.60 and $6.40 after the reverse split.
For me this is a clear indication that many people just don't know what a reverse split means. They just see the "high" share price now compared to the price before the reverse split and sell. They may not even recognize that their number of shares on their account is also reduced by the factor of the reverse split. It demonstrates that there is a lot of psychology and stupidity around.
That's the same in a case of a share split which makes a share price lower and increases the number of shares. In that case people think they have a once in a lifetime chance to buy because of the optically low share price which results in a nice increase of the share price. Companies know this effect and that actually is the only reason why they do stock splits.
Although I know this effect, I bought Cavico before the reverse split which obviously was stupid. However, I still beleave that Cavico will make it to the Nasdaq listing and we will end up in seeing must higher share prices. Actually the market capitalization is just about $16 million which is $5 million below the stockholder equity, which is incredibly low. That will be corrected!

I'll drink to that ....cheers . A lady's word might be just what we need here .
