Sicherer Turnaround-Kandidat

Force hat nach anfänglichen Spekulationen und Höhenflug in 2007/2008 mächtig Federn gelassen. Es wurde auf Bankrott und Übernahme mit Hilfe der Shortys mächtig gedrückt, im Tief bis 1,03$ am 17.03.2008!!! Man rechnete mit keinen Aufträgen seitens der Kriegsministeren mehr. Es kamen aber div. tw. zwar kleinere Aufträge wieder rein. Zuletzt auch wieder Größere siehe England. Der Backlog ist gut. Der Cheetah steht in den Startlöchern. Um es abzukürzen. Wenn der Cheetah kommt, gibt es kein Halten mehr. Allerdings müssen noch die revidierten Zahlen für 2007 und aktuell 2008 nachgereicht werden. Aber die sollten sehr gut sein. Deshalb wohl auch das Gedümpel bei rund 3,00 $. Deshalb spekulativ. Kursziel bei Eintritt aller positiven Segmente. Das Kursziel ist leider nur bis 200% einstellbar. Bei Eintreten der Cheetah-Aufträge, nachreichen positiver Zahlen und Anschlußaufträgen rechne ich mit bis zu 30,00 $ und mehr.

Turnaround

Neueinstieg da Erwartetes Blutbad ausblieb. Aussichten wie gehabt. Zahlen müßen kommen. _____________________________________________________________________________________

Turnaround

Turnaround!

Montag den 10.11.2008 meldet FRPT vor Börsenbeginn die Zahlen für das Quartal 3/2008. Die werden gut undzwar deshalb da Force Protection vor Börsenbeginn und nicht nach Börsenbeginn meldet, was üblich ist. Aktie zieht deutlich an heute unter erhöhtem Durchschnittsvolumen. Sollten noch deutlich größere Aufträge für Fahrzeuge demnächst kommen, sollte die Reise jenseits von 10$ gehen. AH 2,86$! Mein EK-Durchschnitt 1,45$.

Force Protection New

Bei Force Protection gab es Zahlen, die die Erwartung z.T. sogar übertreffen konnten, die Auftragssituation ist ebenfalls gut. 1997 gegründet hat sich der Markt gepanzerter Fahrzeuge nicht zuletzt wegen der Terrorismusbekämpfung gut entwickelt. Der Kurs hat das Potential den Widerstand bei 4,60 € zu testen.

Weiter aufwärts

Die Aktie verspricht spätestens bei einem größeren Navy-Auftrag aus den USA oder England oder, oder, oder..... weitere Kurssprünge. Und das die Fahrzeuge an Brennpunkten gebraucht werden steht außer Frage. Und die Qualität ist sowieso nicht schlagbar siehe IED-Verletzte oder gar Tote im Vergleich zu Navistar oder andren.

Erholung

Wird wohl doch wider erwarten noch Einiges zulegen an Kursgewinn. Ich halte Kursziele um 15€ bei Auftragsgewinnung in Höhe von ü. 100 mio $, für realistisch! 

Das wird wohl für massiven Auftrieb sorgen.

U.S. military accelerates New MRAP programme
08:23 GMT, January 13, 2009 As was written about at BNET Government the U.S. military has accelerated the programme with a new generation of MRAP vehicles that will be lighter and more maneuverable for use in Afghanistan.

Blasts from roadside bombs are the leading cause of combat deaths in Iraq and have become a growing threat in Afghanistan. Therefore, the Pentagon has been seeking to replace and refurbish its military trucks like the Humvee, and reassessing what types of vehicles it needs as it further engages in operations in countries like Afghanistan.

The initial bids are required in January of next year, and like the recent JLTV award, there will be two teams delivering prototypes for testing prior to a decision to award the full up production contract.

The Business Journal of Milwaukee writes that Oshkosh submitted its proposal on 9 January for the program. Oshkosh along with BAE, Navistar and Force Protection would seem to be the main contenders for the program. The MRAP-All Terrain Vehicle programme will be managed like the recent JLTV award for multiple development contracts with a test and evaluation program for different vehicles. More than one successful design may be awarded production contracts as the program goes.

The Oshkosh-based company's submittal is based on its Medium Tactical Vehicle Replacement (MTVR) chassis, which has been operating off road in Afghanistan as well as around the world for several years (see: http://www.defpro.com/news/details/4800/). Oshkosh first fielded the MTVR nearly 10 years ago as a next-generation replacement for the medium tactical fleet for the Marine Corps.

MRAP vehicles have been used effectively over the last three years in Iraq and Afghanistan to defeat the IED threat. They tend to be large, heavy vehicles that work best on improved surfaces. The MRAP-All Terrain Vehicle will improve off-road and rough terrain performance.

"The Oshkosh Defense M-ATV is a variant of our armored MTVR, a proven vehicle that has protected and served our military men and women in off-road operations for years," said John Stoddart, Oshkosh Corp. executive vice president and president, Defense.
 

Erholung

Sollte wieder anziehen nach so einem Schwachsinnsabschlag.                                                                                     

Empor

Weiter empor                                                                                                                                                

Rebound

Mörderrebound demnächst. MATV Auftrag ist noch offen. Mehrere Milliarden könnten auf Force zukommen.

Wichtiges Signal!

am 10.3. habe ich die Aktie in meine Watchliste aufgenommen, seitdem ist der Kurs ca. 20% gestiegen. Am 16.3. hat der 9-Tage-Trigger die MACD-Linie durchbrochen, dh. ein deutliches Signal auf steigende Kurse. Der letzte derartige Durchbruch erfolgte Mitte Okt.08 und endete Mitte Jan.09 mit einem Kursanstieg um über 200%. Ich rechne damit, daß der Kurs in den nächsten 4 Wochen das Zwischenhoch von 6,5$ erreichen wird und wenn der gebrochen ist, das nächste Ziel von 7$ in Angriff genommen wird.

Strong By

Auf geht's, Force ist dabei!

FRPT 7.62, -0.26, -3.3%) and General Dynamics Land Systems, has been awarded an indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contract for the M-ATV Cheetah, a lightweight, high-mobility vehicle, by the U.S. Army Tank-Automotive and Armaments Command's (TACOM) Mine Resistant Ambush Protected All Terrain Vehicle (M-ATV) program. The IDIQ contract includes an initial order for three vehicles for testing and evaluation and it enables Force Dynamics to compete for future M-ATV vehicle orders.
Previously, Force Dynamics delivered two Production Representative Vehicles (PRVs) to undergo initial survivability and mobility screening as part of the M-ATV solicitation. During this new phase of the evaluation, Force Dynamics will deliver additional PRVs for continued testing.
TACOM has indicated that if an M-ATV vehicle submission can meet all of the inspection requirements, survivability threshold and mobility tests that the vehicle will be given a "fair opportunity" for selection for a production delivery order.
Damon Walsh, executive vice president and managing director of Force Dynamics, commented "We are very pleased that the Cheetah has been selected to continue to compete for this important and urgently needed program. This is a strong validation of the M-ATV Cheetah's high level of mobility, combined with MRAP-I level protection. We believe that the M-ATV Cheetah provides the war fighter with the highest level of performance. In order to be as prepared as possible, Force Dynamics has already initiated production of the M-ATV Cheetah. We are fully ready to respond to the customer's demand for these critical vehicles."
Mike Cannon, chairman of the board of Force Dynamics and vice president, Ground Combat Systems, at General Dynamics Land Systems, commented "This is an important milestone for Force Dynamics in the M-ATV competition. Our submission offers superior mobility and survivability, and the complementary strengths of this partnership offer the best in production capability, service and support, and research and development."
"Our M-ATV effort is backed by world-class manufacturing abilities and logistical support that will allow us to successfully deliver on the aggressive procurement schedule outlined by TACOM and to provide total lifecycle support for the vehicle," Cannon said.
The Force Dynamics joint venture is supplemented by a cohesive partnership of world-class OEMs and an award under this program would create and sustain thousands of skilled employment opportunities in several states, including South Carolina, North Carolina, Alabama and Michigan.
