调整状态。相对大盘，它的调整走势还是比较强的。

从高点下来，一个下降三角（也可能是个牛旗）。过去四个月基本在52 ~ 57 之间振荡，短抄波段可以看这个band 作为参考。 股价与大盘基本相关性为1，长期吸纳应该考虑大盘是否在关键点位，而不单单是股票本身的价格形态。

这个股，在我周末贴的Canadian top 100 stocks list 之中，好象是个Dividend Play的对象。

这里我不会买（个人意见）。

看看班长怎么解剖。

Ottawa to sell AECL to SNC-Lavalin

The Harper government is set to announce the sale of Atomic Energy of Canada Ltd. to Montreal-based engineering firm SNC-Lavalin Group (SNC-T55.77----%), a major gamble that Canada’s nuclear program can stand on its own amid growing global resistance to nuclear energy.

The sale of AECL’s commercial division could come as early as this week, although negotiators are still working out the final details of the deal, sources close to the talks said Monday.

The sale completes the Conservative government’s long-held plan to get out of the nuclear-energy business, which has been a drain on federal resources. AECL has had billions of dollars of government support and faced major cost overruns at key projects in recent years while failing to find an international partner in sale talks.

After an international bidding process, SNC-Lavalin emerged as the sole bidder to meet Ottawa’s conditions for buying the financially troubled Crown corporation. The Candu reactor sales and service division will be split from the Chalk River laboratory and its research reactor that produces isotopes for medical imaging and diagnostic procedures, which the federal government will continue to own but will be managed by outside contract.

SNC-Lavalin has assured the government that it is buying AECL with the expectation that it will boost reactor sales and servicing.

Critics say putting AECL into private hands could leave the nuclear company starved for resources and unable to compete effectively with global giants in the industry without federal subsidies. They fear AECL will be slimmed down and largely operate to service and refurbish existing reactors because SNC-Lavalin will try to avoid risk by reducing spending on research and development and new generation reactors.

The ambitious goal of building new generation reactors is crucial to the company’s future; no company can survive long on yesterday’s technology.

AECL’s fortunes have been battered by poor sales, soaring costs and this year’s explosion at Japan’s Fukushima plant, which set off a wave of anti-nuclear sentiment around the world and dealt a blow to the industry. Amid nationwide protests, Germany vowed to shut down its nuclear reactors by 2022, and China halted approvals of new reactors, although it has since determined existing reactors are operating safely.

The sale to SNC-Lavalin will bring much-needed certainty to AECL and its suppliers in the Candu industry, who have been in limbo as Ottawa pursued a sale for the past three years. The company has been barred from taking on contracts that could expose Ottawa to further financial risk.

But the privatization won’t solve AECL’s problems, said Bryne Purchase, former deputy energy minister in Ontario and adjunct professor at Queen’s University. He said SNC-Lavalin simply doesn’t have the financial clout to compete with international giants such as France’s Areva Group or the two U.S.-Japanese reactor companies, Toshiba’s Westinghouse and GE Hitachi Nuclear Energy, and that AECL won’t survive without a foreign partner.

“Unfortunately, I feel AECL reached a dead end when no big international player would buy them,” Mr. Purchase said. “But no politician in Ottawa or in Toronto wants to contemplate the real end game.”

And AECL supporters worry that the Harper government is gambling with the loss of an important Canadian reactor technology, which supplies Ontario with half its electrical power.

Ontario is moving forward with its plan to buy two Candu reactors for its Darlington site. Premier Dalton McGuinty has urged Ottawa to provide financial backing for the project to reduce the risks to Ontario taxpayers and ratepayers. But Prime Minister Stephen Harper has rebuffed pleas for such guarantees for AECL, once described as a financial “sinkhole” by a former aide of Mr. Harper.

Now Ontario will have to negotiate with SNC-Lavalin, which is determined to conclude any reactor sales on a strictly commercial basis.

SNC-Lavalin is Canada’s largest engineering firm and has been a partner with AECL for years, both in building new reactors and in its refurbishment business. It has 400 people in its own nuclear division, among the 4,000 in its international power division.

SNC-Lavalin chief executive Pierre Duhaime has remained upbeat on the nuclear industry’s prospects even after the crisis at Japan’s Fukushima nuclear plant led to a fundamental re-evaluation of nuclear safety across the industry. The company has made it clear to Ottawa and to AECL employees that it will pursue a growth strategy with AECL, but will not risk its own financial health to take on projects where the buyer expects the vendor to assume all the risks.

AECL has been shut out of the international reactor market for several years and has lost $493-million in the past two years. The government has already allocated more than $1-billion to cover higher-than-expected costs at projects in New Brunswick, Ontario and Korea, plus renovations at the Chalk River plant. Under the deal with SNC-Lavalin, Ottawa would be on the hook if there are further over-runs in existing projects at New Brunswick’s Point Lepreau station.

Mr. Purchase said the federal auditor general should review any deal to make sure the government doesn’t provide a sweetheart deal to SNC-Lavalin.

“Will this be a real privatization or is this something where, when you look at the fine print, the taxpayer is still left on the hook?” he said.

Officials with the Society of Professional Engineers and Associates – which represents AECL’s senior staff – say they remain concerned that Ottawa is not requiring AECL’s buyer to keep the company intact once it concludes the deal.

“We’ve been trying to explain to various participants around this process that this is an integrated unit and if you start splitting it up, you lose the whole,” said Michael Ivanco, a vice-president with the society and an AECL engineer.

“There are a lot of potential downsides to that, both for the industry and also it’s a risky thing in terms of safety.”

He said a stripped-down AECL would have trouble providing ongoing safety support for its fleet of Candus in Canada and abroad. Employees’ groups have also questioned whether SNC-Lavalin will continue to develop new reactor designs so that AECL can compete internationally.

Industry officials have urged the federal government to continue providing support for research and development so that AECL can compete in the reactor-sales business with companies that have backing from countries such as France, the United States, Japan, South Korea and China.
