Thursday, May 9, 6:02 PM Ascent Solar (ASTI): Q1 EPS of -$0.13 misses by $0.01. Revenue of $176K misses by $624.K. (PR) Comment! [Earnings, Breaking News, Tech]
Thursday, April 25, 11:21 AM Ascent Solar (ASTI +9.8%) jumps after the company and its EnerPlex line are mentioned in an NYT column taking a look at the budding market for mobile accessories with built-in solar cells. The column points out such accessories are now sold by retailers such as Target and Radio Shack, and notes Ascent's claim that its thin-film solar cells are better suited for mobile accessories, due to their ability to use more flexible materials than glass. But it also observes solar vendors are rushing into the consumer space thanks to brutal industry conditions elsewhere. Comment! [Tech, On the Move]
Tuesday, April 16, 2:04 PM Microcap Ascent Solar (ASTI +4.9%) rallies after announcing Fry's Electronics will sell its EnerPlex line of solar-powered electronics accessories. Shares have largely tread water this year after tumbling last September and October. (PR) Comment! [Tech, On the Move]
Friday, October 5, 2012, 8:15 AM U.S. and European solar energy companies have been downsizing for a while, but NYT reports China's solar firms are hurting too because the Chinese market is saturated by panels that can’t be exported. The government could subsidize more solar installations at home, but the cost of solar remains heavily discounted to coal-fired electricity, which means any subsidy would balloon enormously. 1 Comment [Tech, Energy, Global & FX]
Friday, September 28, 2012, 12:45 PM Midday top 10 gainers: BYFC +171.43%. DHRM +28.21%. CHC +22.24%. KH +21.35%. CYTX +19.17%. CT +18.53%. AZZ +13.84%. NAVR +12.5%. REDF +12.14%. PCYO +11.12%.
Top 10 Losers: CTC -16.16%. ULTR -12.27%. ASTC -10.26%. ALCS -9.42%. CRVP -9.17%. PPHM -8.86%. ASTI -8.76%. ADTN -8.66%. VSCI -8.57%. IRDM -7.76%. Comment! [On the Move]
Thursday, September 20, 2012, 10:10 AM Ascent Solar (ASTI -26.5%) tumbles to $1.24 after pricing its stock offering, which was announced yesterday afternoon, at $1.20. Ascent plans to sell 9.2M shares, a figure that translates into a 22% increase in the company's share count. Comment! [Tech, On the Move]
Thursday, September 20, 2012, 9:10 AM Premarket gainers: DNR +9%. UPIP +8%. CAG +6%. CIM +5%.
Losers: ASTI -27%. HZNP -26%. NSC -6%. BBBY -6%. CQP -6%. Comment! [On the Move]
Wednesday, September 19, 2012, 6:48 PM Ascent Solar (ASTI) -4.8% AH after announcing a stock offering of undisclosed size. The solar module/battery charger maker, which has been steadily bleeding cash, only says it will use the proceeds for "general corporate purposes." (PR) (S-3) Comment! [Tech, On the Move]
Tuesday, September 4, 2012, 8:58 AM Ascent Solar (ASTI) +3.6% premarket on news it is partnering with Silent Falcon UAS Technologies and Bye Aerospace to provide photovoltaics for solar-powered unmanned aircraft systems. Comment! [Tech, Energy, On the Move]
Friday, August 17, 2012, 9:10 AM Premarket gainers: ANN +15%. PSTI +7%. ASTI +6%. IDIX +6%. VRNG +5%.
Losers: IO -17%. MCP -11%. MRVL -9%. VVUS -7%. ARO -5%. Comment! [On the Move]
Tuesday, August 14, 2012, 2:11 PM Ascent Solar (ASTI +29%) is going parabolic for the second day in a row (previous) after announcing a solar charger/case for Samsung's Galaxy S III - shares are now up 56% since the announcement was made. Today's gains come even though Cantor is reiterating a Sell: the firm notes past consumer products have failed to generate revenue, and predicts Ascent will run out of cash in 1H13. Comment! [Tech, On the Move, Quick Ideas]
Monday, August 13, 2012, 12:47 PM Ascent Solar (ASTI +18%) soars after announcing a solar-powered charger for Samsung's hot-selling Galaxy S III. The charger, which will be added to Ascent's EnerPlex consumer products line, will be built into a protective case that also features a battery. Ascent already offers an EnerPlex charger/case for the iPhone 4S. Comment! [Tech, On the Move]
Monday, August 13, 2012, 9:10 AM Premarket gainers: PVSW +26%. ASTI +15%. SHLD +8%. JDSU +6%.
Losers: CHOP -12%. PSTI -7%. Comment! [On the Move]
Wednesday, January 4, 2012, 11:48 AM Microcap Ascent Solar Technologies (ASTI +33.3%) amps up after saying TFG Radiant Investment Group has agreed to buy just about all of Norsk Hydro's (NHYDY.PK +0.6%) ownership in the solar panel developer for about $4M, further strengthening the partnership between the two companies. Comment! [Global & FX, Tech]
Monday, August 15, 2011, 12:38 PM Microcap Ascent Solar Technologies (ASTI +64%) soars after announcing a $450M strategic partnership with TFG Radiant Group that includes investments by TFG in Ascent and the development of manufacturing facilities in East Asia. Comment! [Tech, On the Move]
Friday, April 29, 2011, 9:37 AM Total’s (TOT +0.2%) $1.37B offer for SunPower (SPWRA +36.5%) lifts other solar stocks, responding to the deal’s fat premium and the notion that oil giants may be interested in buying solar companies. FSLR +3.3%, CSIQ +4.5%, LDK +3.8%, JASO +3.9%, TSL +2.9%, ASTI +3.2%, SOLR +2.8%. 2 Comments [Energy, M&A, On the Move]

Been following ASTI on it's rollercoaster ride, buying and selling. Seems to hit $1,00 and drop back around 0.60-0.70 on a regular basis.
