GE sells appliance business
http://money.cnn.com/2014/09/08/news/companies/ge-appliance-sale/
......"But the GE's sale is part of its longer-term strategy to focus on higher margin industrial businesses, such as jet engines, power turbines and railroad locomotives."
I wonder if GE will be looking for acquisitions in the microturbine space.
Agreed, will come together, need to be patient and rewards will come. We will be above $2 again, hopefully much higher!
One comment on margins from the call:
"...if we were doing a $37 million to $40 million quarter we’d be north of 20% probably in the low 20s."
I don't know, but up 2 cents in pre-market.... signs of things to come?
Capstone Announces Follow-On Order for Seventy Five C65s From Horizon Power Systems for Several U.S. Oil and Gas Customers
http://finance.yahoo.com/news/capstone-announces-order-seventy-five-123000247.html
Pre-market up 4% to 1.27.
75 C65's - What is going price for a C65 - I think about $80-120k. Please correct me if I am wrong.
Lets use $100k. 75 x $100,000 = $7.5M order
Capstone Receives Orders for Twenty-Five C65s From E-Finity Distributed Generation
CHATSWORTH, Calif., Aug. 11, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Capstone Turbine Corporation (www.capstoneturbine.com) (CPST), the world's leading clean technology manufacturer of microturbine energy systems, today announced the receipt of orders for 25 Capstone C65 microturbines, totaling 1.6MW, for use in various commercial industrial combined heat and power (CHP) and oil and gas applications in the Mid-Atlantic United States.

I wonder if Capstone is going to release a PR on this? How many trucks are we talking about here?!?
"Aerospace Industrial Development Corporation (AIDC), Capstone's distributor in Taiwan, secured the orders. The orders are the first phase of what is expected to be a total of 15MW installed over the next three years and mark Capstone's first order in the palm oil production market."
15MW over 3 years... NICE!
Someone dropped it down to 0.0008 with a 20,000 sell ($16 !!!!) and then picked up a whole ton of 0.0008's
Awesome!!! Hopefully more news comes out about how large the order is. My guess it's on the smaller side, they'll test in a smaller quantity before a larger order is placed.
Wrightspeed article from February. In my opinion, the vehicle market could be the best catalyst of significant revenue growth for Capstone. This along with the Walmart WAVE news clearly shows that the hybrid electric-turbine powertrain system is definitely viable.
http://www.hybridcars.com/wrightspeed-combines-gas-turbine-and-batteries-for-big-fuel-savings/
A few things from the article:
Still getting up to speed, Wrightspeed projects profits in 2015, and says marketing head, Maya Giannini, things are going “great.”
The battery size in some NPR prototypes was 26 kwh, and Wrightspeed has already had its system tested by undisclosed clients. It has just made its first sale of powertrains with 39-kwh batteries, and this company too is off the record, Wright says.
Picked up my order at 0.0007!! Lets gooooo. I think we will see 0.002 to 0.0026 soon.
It's the same one. 1 C1000 for one order, and 2 C800's for another order.

Capstone Receives Two Orders Totaling 2.6MW From Regatta Solutions for Prominent Southern California Hospitals
Weeeeeeeeee up we go
To elaborate, i work for a real estate owner and developer. We're developing the land adjacent to the Hudson Yards project on the west side of Manhattan. They call it "Manhattan West", how clever.
http://www.manhattanwestnyc.com/content/master_plan/site-35117.html
I'm hoping to setup a sit down with RSP and my company.
I sent them an inquiry after the Related deal PR'ed.
http://www.capstoneturbine.com/news/story.asp?id=685
The article mentions 1.2MW for the first commercial tower at Hudson Yards. RSP says the total order so far is in the 6MW range.
Just got a call from RSP Systems, a Capstone Distributor in NYC. Granted it was 6 months after my inquiry on Capstones website.
Hopefully months from now, Capstone can say they have another deal from a large real estate and investment company. Long shot, but its worth a shot!
2.12 premarket
Something is going on... maybe news leaked?
I agree! I'm guessing they are using a C65, can anyone verify that? I can't find an article giving specifics.
Just curious, what do you think is a good entry point?
1.45 in pre-market, can we hold above 1.40 today?
Revenue of $24.4M. Gross.
1.39 in premarket. Am I seeing that right?

3 Stocks to Get on Your Watchlist
http://www.fool.com/investing/general/2012/12/05/3-stocks-to-get-on-your-watchlist-10.aspx
Capstone Turbine has found itself and its microturbines competing in a world of giants for the better part of a decade now. Profitability still isn't there on a bottom-line basis, yet Capstone has used prudent fiscal management and innovation to drive results to the point that I'm ready to go out on a limb and predict a profitable year in 2013.
In Capstone's most recent quarter it noted gross margin of 9%, a full 300-basis-point improvement over the previous year, all while its DSO and inventory turn improved and its cash burn lessened. In every respect, Capstone is turning the corner to profitability. Capstone's record backlog also speaks to enterprise customers' desire to improve energy efficiency as standard electricity costs continue to rise. With bigger competitors out there, it could take time for Capstone's microturbines to catch on in a big way, or even for the company to boost production once it does become profitable, but with the stock at roughly $0.95 per share, I'm beginning to think that the price may just about be right for investors to begin taking a chance on this turbine producer.
Thanks. Lets keep these $10M orders coming.
I would estimate that this order is in excess of $10M. Can anyone verify approximate figures?

Thanks Netcool. Great news.
Is there a call-in number?
Is there any possibility they intend to use the cash for acquisitions?

The 35% target for gross margins - is that a target for end of the year 2012? Has management given a timetable?
You can wait for under a dollar, but IMO it won't get there.
You can't predict the bottom. GLTY
Picked up more at 1.26. Will add more if it drops 10% from these levels.
