Εβδομαδιαία ανασκόπηση των μετοχών που παρακολουθούμε (27/2)

Δύσκολη εβδομάδα που μας πέρασε γενικότερα για τις αγορές του εξωτερικού...

Σημάδια πληθωρισμού κάνουν σιγά σιγά την εμφάνισή τους...

Όταν αρχίσουν να ανεβαίνουν τα επιτόκια, θα δούμε πόσα απίδια πιάνει ο σάκος....

Βέβαια κάποιοι εξακολουθούν να είναι στον κόσμο τους και να ανεβαίνουν 200% και 100% μπαμ μπαμ...

Όσον αφορά τις μετοχές που παρακολουθούμε στην Ελλάδα, τέσσερις από αυτές είναι στις κορυφαίες επιλογές της εθνικής χρηματιστηριακής και όχι μόνο για το 2021. 

Τα Jumbo πρώτα και καλύτερα με τα μεγαλύτερα περιθώρια ανόδου (50%). Έχουμε μιλήσει για τη συγκεκριμένη εταιρεία και σε προηγούμενες αναρτήσεις και δεν χρειάζεται να πούμε πολλά.

Ο ΟΤΕ περιμένει καλύτερες μέρες, αυξημένες ταμειακές ροές και σταθερά καλή μερισματική απόδοση τα επόμενα έτη. Καλός ισολογισμός και 5G αναμένεται να βοηθήσουν προς αυτή την κατεύθυνση... Τα αποτελέσματα έτους αρκετά καλά. Πιο πολύ μου άρεσαν οι ελεύθερες ταμειακές ροές. Προσεχώς θα έχουμε αναλυτικά διαγράμματα...

Ο ΟΠΑΠ αναμένει για τα επόμενα έτη μία μερισματική απόδοση γύρω στο 10% λόγω και της ευνοϊκότερης φορολογίας πλέον. Δύσκολα η τιμή θα κινηθεί πιο κάτω από αυτά τα επίπεδα, αν δεν γίνει κάτι συνταρακτικό.

Ο Μυτιληναίος είναι πλέον μία πολυεθνική διαφοροποιημένη εταιρεία με πολλές δικλείδες ασφαλείας, αλλά και προοπτικές για το μέλλον, όπως οι ανανεώσιμες πηγές ενέργειας και η αποθήκευση ενέργειας. Σε αυτά τα επίπεδα μπορεί να θεωρηθεί δίκαια αποτιμημένος, χωρίς να αποκλείονται προοπτικές για παραπάνω... Η επόμενη θα είναι η εβδομάδα των γραφημάτων του...

Η As company αύξησε την ονομαστική αξία, ώστε να μπορεί να συνεχιστεί απρόσκοπτα η πολιτική των επιστροφών κεφαλαίου. 

Οι υπόλοιπες ελληνικές μετοχές κινήθηκαν σταθεροποιητικά χωρίς ιδιαίτερες ειδήσεις, με τον ΟΠΑΠ να κάνει το πιο όμορφο κλείσιμο την Παρασκευή...

Όσον αφορά το εξωτερικό, ιδιαίτερη προσοχή πρέπει να δοθεί σε νέες εταιρείες οι οποίες βρίσκουν κεφάλαια αυτή την περίοδο και εισάγονται στο χρηματιστήριο. Αποτελούν μεγάλο ρίσκο, αλλά και απίστευτες ευκαιρίες. Ίσως αργότερα βάλουμε στο ραντάρ κάποιες από αυτές. Τα αντικείμενά τους είναι εξαιρετικά ενδιαφέροντα και μπορεί να αφορούν από ιπτάμενα ταξί, μέχρι ταξίδια στο διάστημα...

Το Dropbox ανακοίνωσε αρκετά ικανοποιητικά αποτελέσματα. O ανταγωνισμός είναι αρκετά μεγάλος σε σχέση με άλλες εταιρείες. Υπάρχει ωστόσο σταθερή ανάπτυξη... Το  ενδεχόμενο εξαγοράς από μεγάλη εταιρεία δεν πρέπει να αποκλειστεί, καθώς το cloud θα γιγαντωθεί τα επόμενα έτη... Ήταν η εβδομάδα του...

Η MYTILINEOS θέτει νέους, φιλόδοξους στρατηγικούς στόχους για ουδέτερο αποτύπωμα άνθρακα έως το 2050

 Αθήνα, Ελλάδα 18 Φεβρουαρίου 2021 

 H MYTILINEOS (RIC: MYTr.AT, Bloomberg: MYTIL.GA, ADR: MYTHY US) γίνεται σήμερα η πρώτη ελληνική εταιρεία που δείχνει το δρόμο για μία πιο πράσινη και περιβαλλοντικά φιλική βιομηχανία, βάσει των δεικτών επίδοσης ESG για το Περιβάλλον, την Κοινωνία και την Διακυβέρνηση. Συγκεκριμένα, σε συνέχεια απόφασης του Διοικητικού Συμβουλίου, η MYTILINEOS δεσμεύεται να ελαχιστοποιήσει το ανθρακικό της αποτύπωμα, φιλοδοξώντας να μειώσει τις συνολικές άμεσες και έμμεσες εκπομπές διοξειδίου του άνθρακα (CO2) κατά τουλάχιστον 30% έως το 2030, σε σχέση με τα επίπεδα του 2019, ενώ μέχρι το 2050 δεσμεύεται να επιτύχει ουδέτερο αποτύπωμα άνθρακα στο σύνολο της επιχειρηματικής της δραστηριότητας.

 Όπως τόνισε ο Πρόεδρος και Διευθύνων Σύμβουλος της Εταιρείας, Ευάγγελος Μυτιληναίος, «Σήμερα, η ανάγκη για επείγουσα δράση για την αντιμετώπιση της κλιματικής αλλαγής, μάς ωθεί στην MYTILINEOS να κάνουμε ένα μεγάλο βήμα, θέλοντας να συμβάλουμε στη δραστική αντιμετώπιση του φαινομένου. Σήμερα, θέτουμε τις βάσεις για μία 100% βιώσιμη και πράσινη βιομηχανική δραστηριότητα και δεσμευόμαστε σε μείωση κατά 30% των εκπομπών ρύπων για όλη την επιχειρηματική μας δραστηριότητα έως το 2030 και σε ουδέτερο αποτύπωμα άνθρακα έως το 2050. 

Οι φιλόδοξοι στόχοι που ανακοινώνουμε, αποτυπώνονται 100% στο DNA μας, γίνονται στρατηγικός πυλώνας, κριτήριο λήψης αποφάσεων και οδηγός κάθε επιχειρησιακής λειτουργίας μας. Από σήμερα, η Βιώσιμη Ανάπτυξη είναι και πρέπει να γίνει προτεραιότητα όλων. Μόνο θέτοντας θαρραλέους και υψηλούς στόχους βιωσιμότητας, ξεκινώντας από εμάς τις βιομηχανίες, μπορούμε να διασφαλίσουμε τη δημιουργία μακροπρόθεσμης αξίας προς όφελος όλων και ενός συλλογικού βιώσιμου μέλλοντος για τις επόμενες γενιές». 

Η MYTILINEOS, με την κίνηση αυτή ανοίγει το δρόμο για ένα βιώσιμο μέλλον για την ελληνική βιομηχανία και τη χώρα. Άλλωστε, τα τελευταία χρόνια, η Εταιρεία έχει πραγματοποιήσει τολμηρά βήματα στους τομείς της κοινωνικής ευθύνης και της περιβαλλοντικής βιωσιμότητας, διαμορφώνοντας μία ολοκληρωμένη πλατφόρμα για τη βιώσιμη ανάπτυξη. Ειδικότερα, έχει αφιερώσει σημαντικούς πόρους για την ανάπτυξη του χαρτοφυλακίου ανανεώσιμων πηγών ενέργειας και mytilineos.gr φωτοβολταϊκών συστημάτων και για την αξιοσημείωτη διεύρυνση της δυναμικής της στη δευτερογενή παραγωγή αλουμινίου, έναν τομέα που διασφαλίζει κατά 10 φορές χαμηλότερες εκπομπές ρύπων σε σχέση με την πρωτογενή παραγωγή. 

Σήμερα, αναγνωρίζοντας τις διαφορετικές ανάγκες που απορρέουν από τις διευρυμένες δραστηριότητές της, η MYTILINEOS ανεβάζει τον πήχη των δεσμεύσεών της ακόμη πιο ψηλά, ενσωματώνοντας τη βιωσιμότητα στον πυρήνα της δραστηριότητάς της, αναπτύσσοντας ένα εξειδικευμένο πλάνο πρωτοβουλιών για τη μείωση των εκπομπών ξεχωριστά για κάθε Τομέα Επιχειρηματικής Δραστηριότητας, που εστιάζει στο: (1) Να επιτύχει μηδενικό αποτύπωμα εκπομπών στους Τομείς Έργων Βιώσιμης Ανάπτυξης και Ανάπτυξης Έργων Ανανεώσιμων Πηγών & Αποθήκευσης Ενέργειας, έως το 2030 (2) Να καταστεί παγκόσμιο σημείο αναφοράς για την Πράσινη Μεταλλουργία μέσα από τη δέσμευσή της να μειώσει τις συνολικές εκπομπές ρύπων του Τομέα Μεταλλουργίας κατά 65% και αντίστοιχα τις ειδικές εκπομπές ρύπων, ανά τόνο παραγόμενου αλουμινίου, κατά 75% μέχρι το 2030 (3) Να αποτελέσει τον καταλύτη για μία ελληνική αγορά ηλεκτρικής ενέργειας χαμηλών εκπομπών, μέσω του Τομέα Ηλεκτρικής Ενέργειας & Φυσικού Αερίου, με μείωση των ειδικών εκπομπών ρύπων ανά παραγόμενη MWh, έως 50% έως το 2030. Με βασικούς πυλώνες την μακροπρόθεσμη αναπτυξιακή στρατηγική, την αειφόρο ανάπτυξη και τους δείκτες ESG, η MYTILINEOS καταγράφει υψηλές επιδόσεις και έχει επιτύχει μείωση των εκπομπών ρύπων ανά μονάδα εσόδων σε ποσοστό μεγαλύτερο του 15% ανά έτος τα τελευταία 4 χρόνια. 

Οι νέοι περιβαλλοντικοί στόχοι που θέτει, συμπληρώνουν τις ήδη καλές επιδόσεις της στα θέματα κοινωνίας και διακυβέρνησης δείχνοντας έτσι το δρόμο για τη βιομηχανία του αύριο.

Dropbox, Inc. Announces Upsize and Pricing of $1.306 Billion Convertible Senior Notes Offering



Feb 24, 2021

SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 24, 2021-- Dropbox, Inc. (“Dropbox”) (NASDAQ: DBX) today announced the pricing of $653,000,000 aggregate principal amount of convertible senior notes due 2026 (the “2026 Notes”) and $653,000,000 aggregate principal amount of convertible senior notes due 2028 (the “2028 Notes” and, together with the 2026 Notes, the “Notes”) in a private placement to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”). The aggregate principal amount of the offering was increased from the previously announced offering size of $1.135 billion. Dropbox also granted the initial purchasers of the Notes a 13-day option to purchase up to an additional $65,300,000 aggregate principal amount of 2026 Notes and up to an additional $65,300,000 aggregate principal amount of 2028 Notes. The sale of the Notes to the initial purchasers is expected to settle on February 26, 2021, subject to customary closing conditions, and is expected to result in approximately $1,286 million in net proceeds to Dropbox (or approximately $1,414 million if the initial purchasers exercise their option to purchase additional notes in full) after deducting the initial purchasers’ discount and estimated offering expenses payable by Dropbox.

The Notes will be senior, unsecured obligations of Dropbox. The 2026 Notes and the 2028 Notes are each referred to herein as a series of notes. The Notes will not bear interest and the principal of each series of Notes will not accrete. The 2026 Notes will mature on March 1, 2026 and the 2028 Notes will mature on March 1, 2028, in each case unless earlier converted, redeemed or repurchased.

Dropbox intends to use approximately $58.6 million of the net proceeds of the offering of the Notes to pay the cost of the convertible note hedge transactions described below, after such cost is partially offset by the proceeds of the warrant transactions described below, approximately $200 million of the net proceeds from this offering to repurchase shares of Dropbox’s Class A common stock (“Class A common stock”) at yesterday’s closing price of $23.18 per share from institutional investors through one of the initial purchasers or their affiliates, as Dropbox’s agent, concurrently with the pricing of this offering, and to use the remaining proceeds of the offering for general corporate purposes, including repurchases of its Class A common stock.

The 2026 Notes may be converted at an initial conversion rate of 26.1458 shares of Dropbox’s Class A common stock per $1,000 principal amount of such notes (equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $38.25 per share of Class A common stock), and the 2028 Notes may be converted at an initial conversion rate of 28.2889 shares of Class A common stock per $1,000 principal amount of such notes (equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $35.35 per share of Class A common stock). Prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding December 1, 2025, in the case of the 2026 Notes, and prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding December 1, 2027, in the case of the 2028 Notes, the Notes will be convertible at the option of the noteholders only upon the satisfaction of specified conditions and during certain periods. On or after December 1, 2025 in the case of the 2026 Notes, and on or after December 1, 2027 in the case of the 2028 Notes, to the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the relevant maturity date, a holder of the relevant series of notes may convert all or any portion of its notes of such series regardless of these conditions. For each series of Notes, upon conversion, Dropbox will pay cash up to the aggregate principal amount of Notes to be converted and pay or deliver, as the case may be, cash, shares of Dropbox’s Class A common stock or a combination of cash and shares of Dropbox’s Class A common stock, at Dropbox’s election, in respect of the remainder. The last reported sale price of the Class A common stock on February 23, 2021 was $23.18 per share.

Dropbox may redeem for cash all or any portion of the Notes, at its option, on or after March 6, 2024, in the case of the 2026 Notes, and on or after March 6, 2025, in the case of the 2028 Notes, if the last reported sale price of Dropbox’s Class A common stock has been at least 130% of the conversion price for the relevant series of Notes then in effect for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during any 30 consecutive trading day period (including the last trading day of such period) ending on, and including, the trading day immediately preceding the date on which Dropbox provides notice of redemption at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the relevant series of Notes to be redeemed, plus any accrued and unpaid special interest to, but excluding, the redemption date.

In connection with the pricing of the Notes, Dropbox entered into convertible note hedge and warrant transactions with certain of the initial purchasers, their affiliates and other financial institutions (the “option counterparties”). The convertible note hedge transactions are expected generally to reduce the potential dilution to Dropbox’s Class A common stock upon any conversion of the Notes and/or offset any cash payments Dropbox is required to make in excess of the principal amount of converted Notes, as the case may be. The warrant transactions would separately have a dilutive effect to the extent that the market value per share of the Class A common stock exceeds the strike price of any warrants unless, subject to the terms of the warrant transactions, Dropbox elects to cash settle the warrants. The strike price of the warrant transactions will initially be approximately $46.36 per share, which represents a premium of 100% over the last reported sale price of the Class A common stock on February 23, 2021, and is subject to certain adjustments under the terms of the warrant transactions. If the initial purchasers exercise their option to purchase additional notes, Dropbox intends to enter into additional convertible note hedge and additional warrant transactions relating to the additional notes.

In connection with establishing their initial hedge of the convertible note hedge and warrant transactions, the option counterparties or their respective affiliates expect to purchase shares of the Class A common stock and/or enter into various derivative transactions with respect to the Class A common stock concurrently with, or shortly after, the pricing of the Notes. This activity could increase (or reduce the size of any decrease in) the market price of the Class A common stock or the Notes at that time. In addition, the option counterparties or their respective affiliates may modify their hedge positions by entering into or unwinding various derivatives with respect to the Class A common stock and/or by purchasing or selling shares of the Class A common stock or other securities of Dropbox in secondary market transactions following the pricing of the Notes and prior to the maturity of the Notes (and are likely to do so during any observation period related to a conversion of the Notes or in connection with any repurchase of Notes by Dropbox). This activity could also cause or avoid an increase or a decrease in the market price of the Class A common stock or the Notes, which could affect the ability of noteholders to convert the Notes and, to the extent the activity occurs during any observation period related to a conversion of the Notes, it could affect the amount and value of the consideration that noteholders will receive upon conversion of such Notes.

This announcement is neither an offer to sell nor a solicitation of an offer to buy any of these securities and shall not constitute an offer, solicitation, or sale in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation, or sale is unlawful. The convertible note hedge transactions, warrant transactions, Notes and the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes, if any, have not been, and will not be, registered under the Act or the securities laws of any other jurisdiction, and unless so registered, may not be offered or sold in the United States except pursuant to an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Act and applicable state laws.

Πώς την πάτησα με την Gamestop...



Ένας επενδυτής αξίας σπάνια θα κινηθεί αντιθετικά, εκτός αν υπάρχει περίπτωση γενικευμένης πτώσης.

Μετοχές με παρατεταμένη πτωτική διάθεση, είτε βρίσκονται στο φάσμα της χρεοκοπίας λόγω δανείων, είτε βρίσκονται σε ένα σπιράλ συνεχόμενων αρνητικών αποτελεσμάτων. 

Όπως σε όλα τα πράγματα, έτσι και στο χρηματιστήριο χρειάζεται και λίγη τύχη έως πολλή θα έλεγα. Το ρητό επιτυχία=ταλέντο και τύχη, μεγάλη επιτυχία=ταλέντο και πολλή τύχη, ισχύει και στο χρηματιστήριο και μάλιστα σε αυξημένο βαθμό.

Η εμπειρία έχει δείξει ότι όταν κινείται κανείς αντιθετικά ή αντικυκλικά, χρειάζεται υπομονή και μία εταιρεία με υγιή ισολογισμό. Ατσάλινα νεύρα και ηρεμιστικά αν παρακολουθεί ολημερίς τη διακύμανση της τιμής. Σε όλες τις άλλες περιπτώσεις κατά 99% τα χρήματα εξαϋλώνονται.

Στην περίπτωση όμως που δεν υπάρχουν δάνεια, μία επιβίωση και ένα turnaround story είναι αρκετά πιθανό. Όπως και η ανάλογη εκτόξευση των κερδών.

Όταν λοιπόν παρακολουθούσα την εταιρεία της gamestop πριν 3 χρόνια μαζί με την ομάδα στο Investorblog, εντοπίστηκε στην τιμή των 11 δολαρίων και αγοράστηκε στην τιμή των τριών δολαρίων και κάτι... Ήταν άκρως υποτιμημένη, αλλά με σχετικά καλό ισολογισμό, αλλά σε συνεχόμενη παρακμή. Ενώ έκανε μία σύντομη άνοδο, τα αποτελέσματα συνέχισαν να είναι αρνητικά και υπό τον φόβο περαιτέρω πτώσης και χρεοκοπίας πούλησα με κάποια λίγα κέρδη πριν ένα χρόνο περίπου... Τα υπόλοιπα τα γνωρίζετε όπως και το ότι η μετοχή από τα τρία δολάρια βρέθηκε στα 400 για να ξανασκάσει τώρα στα 50...

Το παραπάνω παράδειγμα πρόκειται φυσικά για μία άκρως τυχερή κατάσταση και για μία ευκαιρία στη ζωή σου που μπορείς να πετύχεις μία - δύο άντε τρεις φορές. Παρατήρησα όμως ότι, όσες φορές κινήθηκα αντιθετικά και οι εταιρείες είχανε καλό ισολογισμό, έγινε αντιστροφή και η τιμή εκτινάχθηκε. Αντίθετα όσες είχανε δάνεια χρεοκόπησαν. Πολλές φορές όμως εξαιτίας της μυωπίας της αγοράς και της συνέχισης των αρνητικών αποτελεσμάτων μέχρι να γίνει η αντιστροφή ο φόβος σε οδηγεί στο να πουλήσεις.

Κλείνοντας λοιπόν, η πρότασή μου όταν κινείστε αντιθετικά είναι η εξής: Επιλέξτε εταιρείες χωρίς δάνεια που αντιμετωπίζουν έτσι κι αλλιώς προβλήματα και ξεχάστε τες για ένα διάστημα δύο ετών τουλάχιστον. Θεωρείστε αυτό το μικρό ποσοστό του χαρτοφυλακίου σας χαμένο. Μην παρακολουθείτε αποτελέσματα και μην ασχολείστε μαζί τους. Αφήστε τον χρόνο να γιατρέψει τις πληγές τους και να σας προσφέρει όσα μπορεί περισσότερα...

Υ.Γ.: Τα τρένα που φεύγουν πονάνε, αλλά στη σκέψη πως θα έρθουν άλλα ο πόνος μαλακώνει... 😉

Τέρνα Ενεργειακή ή Jumbo;


Δύο εταιρείες διαμάντια. Δύο εταιρείες που πραγματικά όσοι επένδυσαν την τελευταία δεκαετία στις μετοχές τους, έχουν βγει πολλαπλά κερδισμένοι και έχουν κάνει απόσβεση του κεφαλαίου τους.

Και οι δύο βρίσκονται σε σημείο καμπής.

Μετά την τελευταία ατυχία στο Τέξας, η πρώτη αντιμετωπίζει μία πρόκληση που μπορεί να φτάσει και τα 90 εκατομμύρια. Την ίδια στιγμή, η αποτίμησή της, κατά την άποψή μου πάντα, μπορεί να θεωρηθεί απαιτητική και έχει προεξοφλήσει αρκετά από τα μελλοντικά κέρδη. 

Προς το παρόν, οι πολιτικές της Ευρωπαϊκής Ένωσης και το χρηματιστήριο ρύπων την ευνοούν. Σήμερα ανακοίνωσε deal με EDPR & ENGIE όσον αφορά τα πλωτά αιολικά πάρκα, γεγονός που αναμένεται να έχει σημαντική συνεισφορά στην ενεργειακή αυτονομία της ευρωπαϊκής Ένωσης αλλά και στα κέρδη της εταιρείας.

Αναμφίβολα δραστηριοποιείται σε ένα κλάδο πολλά υποσχόμενο. Αυτή τη στιγμή βρίσκεται στη μόδα και η τάση της παραμένει ανοδική...

Σχετικά με τα Jumbo, τα λόγια είναι περιττά. Η εταιρεία έχει καταφέρει κάτι που λίγες εταιρείες στον κλάδο της λιανικής έχουν επιτύχει σε όλο τον κόσμο. Αύξηση κερδών και κύκλου εργασιών για πολλά και συναπτά έτη. Καθαρό ταμείο που ξεπερνά τα 300 εκατομμύρια και σταθερή μερισματική πολιτική, που θα μπορούσε να είναι ακόμα μεγαλύτερη.

Η εταιρεία δοκιμάζεται έντονα λόγω της πανδημίας, σε αντίθεση με την πρώτη. Για αυτό και η τιμή έχει πιεστεί αρκετά. Μετά τη λήξη συναγερμού όμως, αναμένεται αντιστροφή των αρνητικών αριθμών. Ο υγιής ισολογισμός προσφέρει άμυνες, ώστε να ξεπεραστεί άνετα αυτός ο σκόπελος.

Για όσους και όσες επενδύουν λοιπόν αντιθετικά, η δεύτερη περίπτωση φαντάζει καλύτερη. Για όσους-ες ακολουθούν την τάση και τη μόδα, η πρώτη.

Προσωπικά, στην παρούσα περίοδο, θα προτιμούσα να αναλάβω λίγο μεγαλύτερο ρίσκο ξέροντας όμως πως αγοράζω μία εταιρεία σχετικά φθηνή, αν και πιεσμένη...

Τα όσα γράφονται δεν αποτελούν προτροπή για πώληση ή αγορά κινητών αξιών. Έχουν καθαρά ψυχαγωγικό, πληροφοριακό και προσωπικό χαρακτήρα.

The interest rate, conversion rate, and other terms of the Notes are to be determined upon pricing of the offering.

In connection with the pricing of the Notes, Dropbox intends to enter into convertible note hedge and warrant transactions with one or more of the initial purchasers or their affiliates and/or other financial institutions (the “option counterparties”). The convertible note hedge transactions are expected generally to reduce the potential dilution to Dropbox’s Class A common stock upon any conversion of the Notes and/or offset any cash payments Dropbox is required to make in excess of the principal amount of converted Notes, as the case may be. The warrant transactions would separately have a dilutive effect to the extent that the market value per share of the Class A common stock exceeds the strike price of any of the warrants unless, subject to the terms of the warrant transactions, Dropbox elects to cash settle the warrants. If the initial purchasers exercise their option to purchase additional notes, Dropbox intends to enter into additional convertible note hedge and additional warrant transactions relating to the additional notes.

In connection with establishing their initial hedge of the convertible note hedge and warrant transactions, the option counterparties or their respective affiliates expect to purchase shares of the Class A common stock and/or enter into various derivative transactions with respect to the Class A common stock concurrently with, or shortly after, the pricing of the Notes. This activity could increase (or reduce the size of any decrease in) the market price of the Class A common stock or the Notes at that time. In addition, the option counterparties or their respective affiliates may modify their hedge positions by entering into or unwinding various derivatives with respect to the Class A common stock and/or by purchasing or selling shares of the Class A common stock or other securities of Dropbox in secondary market transactions following the pricing of the Notes and prior to the maturity of the Notes (and are likely to do so during any observation period related to a conversion of the Notes or in connection with any repurchase of Notes by Dropbox on any fundamental change repurchase date or otherwise). This activity could also cause or avoid an increase or a decrease in the market price of the Class A common stock or the Notes, which could affect the ability of noteholders to convert the Notes and, to the extent the activity occurs during any observation period related to a conversion of the Notes, it could affect the amount and value of the consideration that noteholders will receive upon conversion of such Notes.

Dropbox intends to use a portion of the net proceeds of the offering of the Notes to pay the cost of the convertible note hedge transactions described above (after such cost is partially offset by the proceeds to Dropbox from the warrant transactions) and to repurchase shares of its Class A common stock from institutional investors. Dropbox expects to use the remaining proceeds of the offering for general corporate purposes, including repurchases of its Class A common stock.

This announcement is neither an offer to sell nor a solicitation of an offer to buy any of these securities and shall not constitute an offer, solicitation, or sale in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation, or sale is unlawful. The convertible note hedge transactions, warrant transactions, Notes and the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes, if any, have not been, and will not be, registered under the Act or the securities laws of any other jurisdiction, and unless so registered, may not be offered or sold in the United States except pursuant to an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Act and applicable state laws.

TERNA ENERGY’s wind capacity in Texas US faces challenges due to unprecedent weather conditions in the area – Βriefing of both investors and analysts



TERNA ENERGY’s wind capacity in Texas US faces challenges due to unprecedent weather conditions in the area – Βriefing of both investors and analysts



Following a press release issued earlier today on the occasion of the unprecedented extreme weather conditions prevailing in Texas, USA, TERNA ENERGY briefed accordingly both investors and analysts.

The following points were mentioned in the context of this briefing:

The Governor of the State of Texas recently issued a declaration of a state of disaster in all 254 counties of the state due to severe winter weather posing an imminent threat of widespread and severe property damage, injury, and loss of life due to prolonged freezing temperatures, heavy snow, and freezing rain across the state. The deep freeze has forced the shutdown of refineries and oil wells, frozen essential components of the state’s electricity and gas distribution systems and severely disrupted electricity generation by thermal and renewable assets in large parts of West/Central Texas.

TERNA ENERGY owns three wind projects in Texas aggregating 520MW in installed capacity. All three projects have been operationally constrained and have been unable to provide electricity during this unprecedented period, facing potentially adverse financial impact, as the company in its efforts to fulfill energy pre-sale related contracts that it had already concluded, like most producers, might be forced to proceed to energy purchases at high prices, which have reached up to $ 9,000/MWh.

However, the company is considering a number of measures for the optimal management of any financial impact that might arise, including the invocation of a “force majeure” event. At the same time, the company takes all the necessary measures, ensuring the health and safety of its personnel.

For the above reasons, the financial impact, if any, cannot be estimated at this time. However, if such financial impact exists, it can in no way exceed €90 million.

It is worth noting finally, that the obligations of all projects in the USA have not been affecting the parent company TERNA ENERGY or the subsidiary TERNA ENERGY USA and are limited solely to the projects themselves.

Εβδομαδιαία ανασκόπηση των μετοχών που παρακολουθούμε 21/2/2021

Ήπια κινήθηκε αυτή η εβδομάδα, όσον αφορά τις μετοχές που παρακολουθεί η ιστοσελίδα μας.

Στις σημαντικότερες ειδήσεις που μπορεί να επηρεάσουν  την πορεία των αγορών, καταγράφεται το υψηλό ιστορικά χρέος του πλανήτη το οποίο λόγω της πανδημίας έχει ξεπεράσει κάθε όριο.

Όσον αφορά την Τέρνα Ενεργειακή, η εβδομάδα ήταν άκρως αρνητική, καθώς ένας μίνι μαύρος κύκνος μετά το blackout στο texas, εξαιτίας των ακραίων καιρικών φαινομένων, αναμένεται να έχει επίπτωση στα οικονομικά μεγέθη της εταιρείας. Με ανακοίνωσή της η ΤΕΝΕΡΓ δηλώνει ό,τι θα κάνει ότι είναι δυνατόν για να περιορίσει τον οικονομικό αντίκτυπο αυτής της κατάστασης.

Ο Μυτιληναίος συνεχίζει τα αλλεπάλληλα υψηλά 52 εβδομάδων & βρίσκεται σε καθαρά ανοδικό κανάλι.

Είχαμε την ανακοίνωση αποτελεσμάτων του Dropbox. Τα μεγέθη  ήταν ανοδικά, αλλά παρουσίασε έκτακτες ζημιές λόγω λογιστικής απομείωσης της αξίας των ακινήτων. Αν αφαιρεθεί το γεγονός αυτό, τα κέρδη ανά μετοχή ξεπέρασαν τις προβλέψεις και ο κύκλος εργασιών κινήθηκε αρκετά ανοδικά. Οι αναλυτές αύξησαν την τιμή στόχου στα 28 δολάρια.

Η Χiaomi στο τέλος της Παρασκευής έκλεισε έντονα ανοδικά, όπως και όλες οι εταιρείες τηλεφωνίας στο Χονγκ Κονγκ, καθώς αναμένονται ευνοϊκότερες καταστάσεις στον εμπορικό πόλεμο Κίνας και Αμερικής. Η εταιρεία παρουσιάζει ιδιαίτερο ενδιαφέρον καθώς το 5G και το cloud, με το οποίο ασχολείται και το dropbox, αναμένουν ραγδαία ανάπτυξη τα επόμενα χρόνια... Την ίδια πορεία ακολούθησε και η China Mobile...

Η Baic Motors η οποία φτιάχνει αυτοκίνητα ηλεκτρικά και αυτοματοποιημένα στο Χονγκ Κονγκ και η οποία έχει την εμπορία της Μercedes και της Hyundai, κινήθηκε ανοδικά αυτή τη βδομάδα. Παραμένει άκρως υποτιμημένη, αλλά και με πολλές προκλήσεις για το μέλλον. O ισολογισμός της είναι σε καλό επίπεδο και αντιστροφή των αποτελεσμάτων σίγουρα μπορεί να οδηγήσει σε ανώτερες τιμές.

Οι υπόλοιπες μετοχές κινήθηκαν λίγο-πολύ σταθεροποιητικά.

Καλή Κυριακή και καλή εβδομάδα.

Material Impairment Charges

  • In the fourth quarter of 2020, we announced a new Virtual First work model pursuant to which remote work will become the primary experience for all of our employees. As part of the Virtual First strategy, we will retain a portion of our office space to be used for team collaboration and a portion will be marketed for sublease. We reassessed our real estate asset groups and estimated the fair value of the office space to be subleased using current market conditions. Where the carrying value of the individual asset groups exceeded their fair value, an impairment charge was recognized for the difference. As a result, we recorded total impairment charges of $398.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2020 for right-of-use and other lease related assets. We have excluded this impairment charge from non-GAAP operating income and non-GAAP net income. We continue to expect to incur additional charges related to certain European leases over the next twelve months, which could range between $0 and $50 million depending on the then current market and economic conditions.

Share Repurchase Authorization

  • On February 12, 2021, the Board of Directors authorized Dropbox to repurchase an additional $1 billion of its Class A common stock. The repurchase is expected to be executed, subject to general business and market conditions and other investment opportunities, through open market purchases or privately negotiated transactions, including through Rule 10b5-1 plans.

(1) We calculate constant currency revenue growth rates by applying the prior period weighted average exchange rates to current period results.

(2) We calculate total annual recurring revenue ("Total ARR") as the number of users who have active paid licenses for access to our platform as of the end of the period, multiplied by their annualized subscription price to our platform. We adjust our exchange rates used to calculate Total ARR on an annual basis, at the beginning of each fiscal year. We calculate constant currency Total ARR growth rates by applying the current period rate to prior period results.

(3) Non-GAAP diluted net income per share attributable to common stockholders is calculated based upon 416.1 million and 417.9 million diluted weighted-average shares of common stock for the three months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

(4) Non-GAAP diluted net income per share attributable to common stockholders is calculated based upon 419.3 million and 416.6 million diluted weighted-average shares of common stock for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this press release and are subject to risks, uncertainties, and assumptions including, but not limited to: (i) our ability to realize anticipated benefits to our business from our shift to a Virtual First work model as well as impacts to our financial results and business operations as a result of this shift, (ii) impacts to our financial results, business operations and the business of our customers, suppliers, partners and the economy as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, and related public health measures, as well as the potential for a more permanent global shift to remote work, (iii) our ability to retain and upgrade paying users, in particular paying users impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, and increase our recurring revenue; (iv) our ability to attract new users or convert registered users to paying users, in particular prospective paying users financially impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic; (v) our future financial performance, including trends in revenue, costs of revenue, gross profit or gross margin, operating expenses, paying users, and free cash flow; (vi) our history of net losses and our ability to achieve or maintain profitability; (vii) our liability for any unauthorized access to our data or our users’ content, including through privacy and data security breaches; (viii) significant disruption of service on our platform or loss of content, particularly from any potential disruptions in the supply chain for hardware necessary to offer our services that may result from the COVID-19 pandemic; (ix) any decline in demand for our platform or for content collaboration solutions in general; (x) changes in the interoperability of our platform across devices, operating systems, and third-party applications that we do not control; (xi) competition in our markets; (xii) our ability to respond to rapid technological changes, extend our platform, develop new features or products, or gain market acceptance for such new features or products, particularly in light of potential disruptions to the productivity of our employees that may result from our shift to a Virtual First work model; (xiii) our ability to manage our growth or plan for future growth; (xiv) our acquisition of other businesses and the potential of such acquisitions to require significant management attention, disrupt our business, or dilute stockholder value; (xv) our ability to attract and retain key personnel and highly qualified personnel; (xvi) our capital allocation plans with respect to our stock repurchase program and other investments; and (xvii) the dual class structure of our common stock and its effect of concentrating voting control with certain stockholders who held our capital stock prior to the completion of our initial public offering. Further information on risks that could affect Dropbox’s results is included in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), including our Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2020. Additional information will be made available in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 and other reports that we may file with the SEC from time to time, which could cause actual results to vary from expectations. If the risks materialize or assumptions prove incorrect, actual results could differ materially from the results implied by these forward-looking statements. Dropbox assumes no obligation to, and does not currently intend to, update any such forward-looking statements after the date of this release, except as required by applicable law.

(1) Capital expenditures include cash outflows related to the build-out of our corporate headquarters in San Francisco, CA. Net cash provided by operating activities include tenant improvement allowances related to our corporate headquarters, and represents cash received from our landlord to partially offset this build-out. These amounts are presented net in the table above.

(2) As part of our acquisition of HelloSign in 2019, we have employee holdback agreements with key HelloSign personnel consisting of $48.5 million in cash payments subject to on-going employee service. The related expenses are recognized within research and development expenses over the required service period of three years. The payments began in the first quarter of 2020, and will be paid evenly in quarterly installments over the remaining required service period.

About Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To provide investors and others with additional information regarding Dropbox's results, we have disclosed the following non-GAAP financial measures: revenue growth and Total ARR growth excluding foreign exchange effect, which we refer to as on a constant currency basis, non-GAAP cost of revenue, non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP operating expenses (including research and development, sales and marketing and general and administrative), non-GAAP income from operations, non-GAAP net income, free cash flow ("FCF") and non-GAAP diluted net income per share. Dropbox has provided a reconciliation of each non-GAAP financial measure used in this earnings release to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. Non-GAAP cost of revenue, gross profit, operating expenses, income from operations, and net income differ from GAAP in that they exclude stock-based compensation expense, amortization of acquired intangible assets, other acquisition-related expenses, which include third-party diligence costs and expenses related to key employee holdback agreements, and impairment charges related to real estate assets. Non-GAAP net income also excludes net gains and losses on equity investments, and includes the income tax effect of the aforementioned adjustments. FCF differs from GAAP net cash provided by operating activities in that it treats capital expenditures as a reduction to net cash provided by operating activities. Free cash flow margin is calculated as FCF divided by revenue. Non-GAAP diluted net income per share differs from GAAP diluted net loss per share in that the numerator utilizes the non-GAAP net income as described above, and the weighted average shares used in the computation include certain shares that are excluded from the GAAP diluted net loss per share calculation because their effect would have been anti-dilutive. For periods that we are in a GAAP net income position, the weighted average shares used in the computation are the same as the shares used in our non-GAAP diluted net income per share computation. In order to present revenue on a constant currency basis for the fiscal year and quarter ended December 31, 2020, Dropbox calculates constant currency revenue growth rates by applying the prior period weighted average exchange rates to current period results. Dropbox calculates constant currency Total ARR growth rates by applying the current period rate to prior period results. Dropbox presents constant currency information to provide a framework for assessing how our underlying business performed excluding the effect of foreign currency rate fluctuations.

Dropbox's management uses these non-GAAP financial measures to understand and compare operating results across accounting periods, for internal budgeting and forecasting purposes, for short and long-term operating plans, and to evaluate Dropbox's financial performance and the ability to generate cash from operations. Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures reflect Dropbox's ongoing business in a manner that allows for meaningful period-to-period comparisons and analysis of trends in Dropbox's business, as they exclude expenses that are not reflective of ongoing operating results. Management also believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful supplemental information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating Dropbox's operating results and future prospects in the same manner as management and in comparing financial results across accounting periods and to those of peer companies.

We believe that the non-GAAP financial measures, non-GAAP cost of revenue, gross profit, operating expenses, income from operations, net income, and diluted net income per share are meaningful to investors because they help identify underlying trends in our business that could otherwise be masked by the effect of the expenses that we exclude.

We believe that FCF is an indicator of our liquidity over the long term, and provides useful information regarding cash provided by operating activities and cash used for investments in property and equipment required to maintain and grow our business. FCF is presented for supplemental informational purposes only and should not be considered a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with GAAP. FCF has limitations as an analytical tool, and it should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of other GAAP financial measures, such as net cash provided by operating activities. Some of the limitations of FCF are that FCF does not reflect our future contractual commitments, excludes investments made to acquire assets under finance leases, includes capital expenditures related to our corporate headquarters, and may be calculated differently by other companies in our industry, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure.

The use of non-GAAP cost of revenue, gross profit, operating expenses, income from operations, net income, free cash flow, and diluted net income per share measures has certain limitations as they do not reflect all items of income, expense, and cash expenditures, as applicable, that affect Dropbox's operations. Dropbox mitigates these limitations by reconciling the non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable GAAP financial measures. Additionally, we have provided supplemental disclosures in our reconciliation of net cash provided by operating activities to free cash flow to include capital expenditures related to our corporate headquarters, net of tenant improvement allowances and key employee holdback payments related to the acquisition of HelloSign. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for or in isolation from, measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. Further, these non-GAAP measures may differ from the non-GAAP information used by other companies, including peer companies, and therefore comparability may be limited. Management encourages investors and others to review Dropbox's financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure.
