For Contact in particular, this means a higher bill from Transpower as they struggle to get their excess hydro power north (if they can get it north at all) and a delay in the construction of their new Tauhara geothermal power station. So all in all higher power supply costs and lower demand. That doesn't sound like a recipe for increasing profits to me.

    If zero interest rates are built into your share decision acquisition process, that means theoretically the value of any share paying a dividend is infinite. By that measure paying $100 for your Contact shares sounds like a bargain. Be careful out there in this investment market. Having said that, I have no intention of selling my Contact Energy shares that I already own. I am effectively 'looking through' the next three to five years.

    cen was the hype stock last time all the gentailers took off , way outperformed the others. this is what happens a group takes off and 1 off them becomes the darling to it isnt. this time it is pretty much all together last 6 mths
    cen just got sold down more than the others when the hype ran out last time so its playing a bit of catchup at the moment. there all together this time on the expectation of a smelter deal if it happens and on going low rates

    Good point. I think if they keep their current SP its not a rumor but very likely, but obviously - anything can happen by the 3rd of November ... exciting times ahead.

    I see it as
    • sales stable to up
    • netback improving (i googled netback - it means profit per unit)
    • connections down not drastically but still.
    • storage returning to mean still down but less so.
    • Nth Is. still a bit short of storage huh
    For clarity, nothing I say is advice....
