Aha, explains the drop in prices of late. What's the future of this stock, considering the new mining levies?

If TCL cannot get the price of the shares above 50/- by March 2016, it will have to raise a new bond to pay off the bondholders OR give the bondholders more favorable terms of conversion. Either way, I am staying out until mid 2015 (after 1H 2015 results are released) then re-assess the firm.

Management attributes losses to the RVR write down and delay of projects. Profits from the delayed projects will be booked on H2.

This had escaped from my sight. So it's possible TCL might end up in a bond holdout scenario? That will really suck and crater the share price!

TCL will have to pay off the bond or be locked out of the Bond Market. It will probably raise the cash by borrowing from banks.

Anyway, I indicated the options it has. And they all point to a dilution of shares/value unless there is a significant improvement in the underlying business and the share price trends much higher. To get to 50/- by March 2016, TCL needs 40% annualized growth in the share price. Not easy but not impossible either. See ARM which issued Convertible Bonds. Though Pradeep Paunrana is a very smart chap & knows how to play the game!

Conclusion is TCL will not be trading above 50 by 2016. How will TCL rally in 2015 which has all the signs of a sellside yr?

@vvs - that bond holdout will crater this counter. Might as well wait for that dilution capitulation and hope that it forces a sober reevaluation by mr market.

And what is this TCL price alternating the gain to 22 and thereafter losing to 19.5 over the last few days?
Are these guys part of the JV with KEGN given they are already working on the Menengai geothermal power plant?
I smell sth
