Mentor Graphics eine neue Ära beginnt

Mit der Übernahme von Valor Computerized Systems, hat sich Mentor einen starken Partner in punkto Leiterplatten-Design- Herstellung- Managment, an Land gezogen.
Der Kursrückgang von Mentor kann den Valoräktionären nur Recht sein. Damit ist ein Tausch von 2 Valoraktien gegen 1 Mentoraktie immer warscheinlicher, bzw gesicherter.

hallo Urbommel
Ich kannte im Valorthread auch einmal einen Urbommel, bist du mit ihm etwa verwandt ??  

Unser erstes großes Ziel ist 7 €, nach der Fusion natürlich erst.
Jetzt darf der Mentorkurs ruhig noch hübsch fallen.  

der MACD scheint ein negatives Signal zu generieren, also ein Verkaufssignal ?  

 

sollten  16 Dollar sein, Also fast 100% Dort wartet dann ein sehr starker Widerstand auf uns. Zeitfenster - in 12 Monaten  

längerer SIcht mit Kurs 20 Dollar, jetzt wo Valor mit im Boot ist, und seinem stets posetiven Ergebnissen und  mit seinem Produkten, könnte es doch sein. Könnte....  

von Valor wird Mentor auf jeden Fall profitieren.Wenn´s in Richtung 9 Dollar geht,ist klar,dass der deal positiv beurteilt wird.Dann sitzt wesentlich mehr drin!

Mentor Graphics Acquires Valor Computerized Systems, Ltd.

WILSONVILLE, OR, Mar. 18, 2010 (Marketwire) --

Valor products are the world's leading software for printed circuit board (PCB) design for manufacturing (DFM) and manufacturing execution (MES) systems. Valor's solutions target three key segments in the PCB manufacturing market: design of the physical layout of the PCB, fabrication of the bare PCB, and assembly of PCB components. With the acquisition of Valor, Mentor is now positioned as the only EDA supplier to provide the electronics industry with a PCB systems solution from concept through manufacturing.

"Valor's expertise and products in the manufacturing segment are an excellent fit to Mentor's in the PCB design area as together we provide a concept-through-manufacturing design solution to our customers," stated Henry Potts, vice president and general manager of the Systems Design Division of Mentor Graphics. "This acquisition will reinforce our number one position in PCB design while enabling Valor to leverage the strengths of Mentor and accelerate their delivery of differentiated design for manufacturing and manufacturing execution products."

By acquiring Valor, Mentor is the first major EDA vendor to extend its scope into the market for PCB systems manufacturing solutions.

Kontostand für die Barabfindung erhalten.
25% plus Soli weil es sich um  eine Dividendenzahlung handelt.
Von wegen 8 Jahre gehalten und steuerfreie Gewinne,  und von wegen nur der Gewinn wird versteuert, das ganze Bare ist mit 25% plus Soli versteuert
Haste was, gibst du was.. den Geldfressern  

das hat mich auch geärgert, doch hat m. E. die ausländische Kapitalertragssteuer nichts mit unserer Abgeltungssteuer zu tun. Das wäre bei einem inländischen Wert nicht passiert. Mein ganzer Freibetrag ist draufgegangen bzw. hat nicht gereicht, mal sehen was der Steuerberater dazu sagt?
Wir können jetzt nur auf Mentor hoffen, gibt es einen Knick nach unten, setze ich die Barabfindung noch in Mentoraktien um.
Wenn die Börse eine Hausse hat, könnte Mentor wenigstens auf 18 Euro steigen und dann habe ich mein Geld zurück und dann aber Schluss mit Lustig.
gruß urbommel  

gilt in Deutschland die Kapitalertragssteuer auf alle Dividende plus Soli Diese wird sofort und knallhart abgegrifffen, sobld du über deinen Freibetrag kommst Dieser wird zwar vom Betrag abgezogen, aber in meinen Fall mußte ich  über ...zig Eier blechen Und der Witz daran ist, daß man diesen Betrag bei der nächsten Einkopmmenssteuer nicht angeben muß. Der ist und bleibt bezahlt und kann auch nicht Verlusten gegen gerechnet werden. Nun sollte die Mentor - Valor AG dies  endlich wieder richtig stellen, in Form von super Q-Zahlen und meine Warterei auch richtig belohnen, in Form von Kurssprüngen in die richtige Richtung  MfG Ukka

 

ich habe eben die Barabfindung zum Teil für einen Nachkauf genutzt. Ich habe mich dabei an ukkas Chart orientiert. Wenn der Kurs nach unten durchbricht habe ich halt Pech. Der Trendkanal ist aber in Ordnung und die Volatilität spricht für diesen Titel, wir werden sehen.
Ich bin jetzt finanziell auf dem gleichen Stand wie mit Valor. Wenn sich Mentor nur so wie Valor entwickelt, reicht mir das schon, besser kann es immer werden.
Was den verlorenen Steuerstand (ohne Abgeltungssteuer) betrifft, ist es wirklich Scheiße, die 27 % muss man erst einmal wegstecken.
gruß urbommel  

deinen 144 Stücken noch 102 dazu kommen lassen?  

das im Moment der Kurs keine wirkliche Richtung vorgibt. ich denke mal, das in 3-6 Monaten es mehr Aufschluß darüber geben wird, ob Mentor-Valor ein guter Deal war. Wobei Valor ja mit sehr beständigen schwarzen Zahlen , über Jahre, immer dabei war. Der Vorteil jetzt ist , gegenüber den ehemaligen  Small Cap,  Valor AG damals, das diesmal Mentor mit fast 500 Mill. Marktkapitalisierung am Börsenmarkt die  größere Chancen hat, schneller von Fonds "entdeckt" zu werden, als es für  Valor möglich war, da es für viele Fonds ein absolutes Tabu ist , auf Grund seiner Marktkapitalisierung ( Valor), solche Aktien anfassen zu dürfen.  Also von daher kann man nur auf eine Mentorhype spekulieren, welche dann doch bald eintreffen wird, denn wir sind ja schließlich jetzt investiert.

 

es waren 103, damit komme ich auf 1050 Stücke, vorher hatte ich 3000 Valor. Nebenbei sind noch 350 Kontron abgefallen und immer noch ein bisschen Spielgeld übrig.
Bei Valor hätten wir auf einen Kurs von 6,- warten können, bei Mentor könnten es mal wieder 18,- werden, ich habe das ganz gut analysiert.
Es wird schon werden!
Wisst ihr, was der eine Wert im Depot mit 0,61 Mentor (Spitzen) bedeudet? Ich war schon bei der DB, die wussten weniger als ich.
gruß urbommel  

auch noch im Depot.Sollten lt. meiner Bank mit anderen zusammen gefasst werden und sofort verkauft werden.Haben die wahrscheinlich noch nicht auf die Reihe gekriegt.
Sind Deine Mentor bei der Dresdner oder Deutschen Bank?
Grüße  

Nur die Barabfindung wurde versteuert!
Wenn deine Valoraktien alt genug waren, sind die umgetauschten Mentoraktien ebenfalls steuerfrei.
Kennt jemand den Kurs der Mentoraktien in Euro zum Umtauschtag?
Ich benötige den Kurs eigentlich nur zur Gewinn- und Verlustrechnung, danke.
Die DB konnte mir nicht den Umtauschkurs in Euro mitteilen. Die Spitzen werden aber noch verwertet bzw. ersatzlos ausgebucht. Wenn ein buchbarer Betrag herauskommt, bekommen wir noch Geld gut geschrieben, sonst nichts.
gruß urbommel  

Mit den Spitzen bedeutet, daß der "Überhang" von 0,61 Aktien zusammen gefaßt von uns allen, dann verscherbelt wurde zu 5,97... Euro, so daß du nur noch jetzt 947 Mentoraktien glatt hattest.
Das mit den Kurs kannst du dir selber aussuchen, es waren um die 6,03 Euro.... ca, etwa
Und es ist richtig und so von mir auch immer gesagt,  es wurde die gesamte BARABFINDUNG, minus Freibetrag,
zu 25% Kapitalsteueretrag, und davon wiederum ( vom Steuerteil) nochmals  5,5% Solisteuer abgezogen.  

Nur das du dich nicht wunderst Ich bin mit meinen 5755 Stücken bei 8,20$ ausgestiegen Ich werde mir eine neue Strategie für meine Anlagen aussuchen, aber mache jetzt erst mal eine Pause und werde Aktienfrei nach 15 Jahren sein, da ich auch alles andere verkauft habe. Ich habe einfach keine Lust mehr,  im Moment, immer nur Aktienkursen hinterher zu schauen ! Also alles Gute für die Zukunft, für dich!                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           P.S ich bin übrigens keine Frau, wie du mal vermutet hattest 

MfG Ukka

 

 

ich finde das ganz nett von dir, dich hier so ehrlich zu verabschieden, das macht nicht jeder so.
Ich wünsche dir für deine aktienfreie Zeit alles Gute und den richtigen Riecher für den Neubeginn. Mir persönlich ist es auch so ergangen, ich habe in der Hausse begonnen und komme aus dem Rhythmus nicht mehr raus. Wenn man in der Baisse einsteigt, braucht man eigentlich keine Ahnung von Aktien zu haben, Standardwerte kaufen und fünf Jahre warten, fertig!
Alles Gute und tschüß

Mentor Graphics Announces FloVENT v8 With New Technology Specifically Targeted at Design Engineers

WILSONVILLE, OR, Apr. 8, 2010 (Marketwire) --

WILSONVILLE, OR -- (Marketwire) -- 04/08/10 -- Mentor Graphics Corporation (NASDAQ: MENT) today announced the release of the FloVENT® v8 solution with significant enhancements in heating, ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAC) model creation, solution performance and results visualization. These enhancements to the already well proven technology of the FloVENT tool enable design engineers of built environments, data centers and clean rooms to quickly set up build scenarios and accurately analyze them for proper cooling, heating, contamination control and ventilation. The result is higher productivity for the designer and the ability to run more "what-if" variants, thus converging on the best design possible.

"With an easy-to-use interface, reliable CFD engine, and advanced features like automatic calculation of Capture Index, the FloVENT solution is our primary tool for developing real-time cooling calculators for our advanced data center design and management software," stated Jim VanGilder, P.E, senior mechanical engineer, American Power Conversion, Inc.

The FloVENT software is a powerful Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) product that predicts 3D airflow, heat transfer and contamination distribution in buildings of all types and sizes. The FloVENT tool's fast and easy-to-use menu system is designed specifically for engineers involved in the design and optimization of built environments and HVAC systems. Typical FloVENT applications include atriums, shopping malls, office buildings, telephone exchanges and data centers, theaters, airport terminals, storage facilities and warehouses, passenger comfort in vehicles, air quality and contaminant control in laboratories, research facilities, hospitals and underground car parks. The FloVENT tool enables engineers to minimize energy consumption as well as eliminate airflow problems or hazards early in the design process before building construction or refurbishment begins.

"We found that applying FloVENT airflow modeling technology in the design of our clients' clean rooms has proved beneficial for reduction of capital costs," stated Andy Solbert, design engineer, Advanced Design and Simulation Group at CH2MHill. "As well, this has led to new design innovations such as new concepts for 300mm manufacturing environments."

Major Enhancements

Among the many enhancements in the FloVENT v8 release, three stand out as particularly noteworthy:

   * The "Zoom-In" feature enables a designer to select a region of a model and create a more complex micro-model for that section, including boundary conditions from previous analyses. Then a more detailed study can be performed on that section without carrying the overhead of the full-system level model.
   * An improved radiative exchange factor solver results in up to a 40x improvement in execution times for larger design models. This radically reduces the time required to calculate the effects of radiative heat exchange.
   * A "Cold and Hot Aisle Capture Index"* enables designers to efficiently analyze the cooling performance in data centers containing models of racks, local cooling resources (e.g. perforated floor tiles or local coolers), and local air extracts (e.g., return vents).

Availability

The FloVENT v8 software is available for immediate shipment. For further product information or to watch a free online demo, visit the website at: http://www.mentor.com/products/mechanical/products/flovent.

Mentor Graphics FloEFD Technology Wins 2010 Design News Golden Mousetrap Award for Best Product

WILSONVILLE, OR, Apr. 12, 2010 (Marketwire) --

WILSONVILLE, OR -- (Marketwire) -- 04/12/10 -- Mentor Graphics Corporation (NASDAQ: MENT) today announced that it has received the 2010 Design News Golden Mousetrap Award for Best Product for its FloEFD™ mechanical analysis technology. Mentor's Mechanical Analysis Division (MAD) announced the FloEFD technology (version 9.0) in October 2009, which provides Concurrent CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) for rapid virtual prototyping required for fluid flow simulation. The Mentor Graphics FloEFD solution received the best product award for Design Tools - Rapid Prototyping, Materials, Tools and Services.

"Design News congratulates the winners and finalists of the 2010 Golden Mousetrap Awards for the great work they've done to develop new and innovative products for design engineers," stated Jennifer Roy, managing editor of Design News Magazine. "These products, as always, showcase the highly imaginative ways that today's engineers are 'building a better mousetrap,' and we thank them for their contributions."

The Design News Awards Program was established over 20 years ago and recognizes engineering innovation and creativity in product design. This year, the Design News editors received a record number of entries and, based on their expertise in each technology area, painstakingly selected the finalists and Golden Mousetrap winners.

The fast, easy-to-use fluid flow and heat transfer FloEFD software is the first major CFD package to be fully embedded in a range of commercial mechanical CAD (MCAD) software products, including Pro/ENGINEER and CATIA V5. The FloEFD solution enables design engineers to conduct upfront, concurrent CFD analysis throughout the product's lifecycle, using the familiar MCAD interface, thus reducing design times by orders of magnitude compared to traditional methods and products. Concurrent CFD can reduce simulation time by as much as 65 to 75 percent in comparison to traditional CFD tools and enables users to optimize product performance and reliability while reducing physical prototyping and development costs without time or material penalties.

"We are excited that Design News has recognized our FloEFD solution as 'best-in-class' since we believe our product has tremendous impact on eliminating geometry and meshing related sub-processes that have been bottlenecks in CFD adoption," stated Erich Buergel, general manager of Mentor Graphics Mechanical Analysis Division. "Our Concurrent CFD methodology permits rapid virtual prototyping so our customers can realize cost and time savings through productivity and right-to-market success."
