    ....not at all....an employee expressed disappointment about the SP....it is entirely my inference that should CEN employees purchase some shares ...given the historic low SP...then ...that would be a relief/expression of support ..."skin in the game"...et al...

    Origin will launch their 3rd ( or 4th?? ) takeover attempt!

    As I have said before the most strategic time for the takeover will be middle of this year (low sp and profits down-shareholders more likely to jump into a lowish takeover offer if they can reinvest capital and profits into mighty river )
    Next year profits are likely to rise a lot with more geothermal providing stable predictable energy -as well as energy price rises greater than inflation -and mighty river which looks the best SOE gone-ie no longer a cheap entry .

    Cheers Troyvdh, I work for Origin energy, was just a bit concerned someone might be leaking sensitive information.
    I get to do all the fun valuation modelling of the generation portfolio. Unfortunately I haven’t had a lot to do with CEN side of things though.

    ,,,,really is that your job...how exciting....could you not look over a mates shoulder.....and sniff out if Origin are intending to make (another) bid....you must surely be able to determine ...ball park figures accepted...if a company like CEN fullfills any criteria that Origin may be exploring.....we on this side of the ditch are convinced that another "low ball offer" is imminent......Im pretty emotional about this company having spent heaps of family time down in central otago...

    Never really followed CEN but hard to believe that their shareprice was about $10 not that long ago .... and today isn't much more than it was 9 years ago

    ....gee thats a bit under the belt....are you "Balance2".....actually you do have a point....a very sore point....on the face of it this is a company that owns a big dam...that was very very very very very expensive to build...(like 12 months of pouring concrete down into...well....no one is sure...anyways it was/is a big hole)....and it produces electricity quite reliably...from (Lakes Wakatipu,Wanaka and Hawea....Hawea being the only one damned).... CEN has other investments (going forward.....vomit)...now is it unreasonable to expect that is a company that could be a prudent and wise investment...(the words "blue chip"...somehow induces more vomit) ....anyways I have always thought so...that aside the political/MKT regulation declaration decrees....and the on going suspicion that Origin will put together another low ball offer ...have combined to smother this company to smitherians.Im not sure anymore what will determine the fate of this company...cheers

    ...thats what happened in my view anyways...

    CEN "unhappy" with NZX' new ruling on index weightings.

    http://www.nzherald.co.nz/business/n...ectid=10795539

    This company seems to have finally realised that it has customers - but still has a long way to go to recover its former status.
    As for Origin's majority shareholding and possible future plans, I remain convinced that they have bigger fish to fry at home before committing themselves any further to CEN.
