poombearI like that Macom are mentioned in that article! As you probably know IQE and Macom are collaborating on GaN on Silicon. The difference being as mentioned in the article we will be able to produce on larger wafers, using the same process and machinery at a cost comparable with silicon. Basically, nobody will buy the incumbent technology anymore when they can get a better product(GaN on Si) for the same price!

This article is worth a read. It's about how GaN os about to replace silicon for datacentre power switching.



And I liked this quote.

"As sure as the sun comes up, GaN is going to replace silicon in power conversion,”

yump,I've followed this company since 2009. Not one, repeat, not one broker has been correct to date! You'd get better forecasts staring at your tea leaves!

What sort of a rating should IQE have ? - well that's a tricky one. People quote all sorts of dissimilar businesses in comparison.

As I understand it, IQE is a supplier to suppliers in many cases, which means they don't have much control over their market or prices. If the IP is truly unique and cannot be bought elsewhere, then that adds to the security of earnings and I guess the potential rating.

On the other hand, major contracts are not as much of a risk as they appear, because there's a major risk at the customer end of swapping suppliers - unless its a commodity they are buying. What proportion of IQE's sales are commodity ?

I don't know enough about IQE to answer those questions and they are not easily extractable from all the information around.

Its a headache compared to investing in a fashion retailer that's following a market trend and established a brand.

Well the brokers seem to have had IQE all over the place, so not sure what to make of the forecasts, but they are the only information available atm.

Based on a p/e of 15 and eps of 3.5p that makes just over 50p, based on year end 2017.
That seems well up with events to me.

If it were to grow at 15-20%, then there would of course be a double re-rating ie. the eps x an increased growth rate.

I think there could easily be a spike up to around 60p here, but its going to be a while before anyone knows whether year end 2017 will be beaten.

Plus when it gets towards 50-60p that will be one heck of a continuous rise, plus its a big historic resistance, given that it never held at that level for any time.

Now if it were on a p/e below its growth rate...

yump,With the return to growth in wireless(with the launch this year of the iphone8 + other manufacturers) and Photonics growing exponentially don't you think that 15-20% earnings growth you mention is possible in this years H1? Personally, I think the share price is re-rating to where it should have been all along without the shenanigans of the past few years! The p/e soon being in line with it's peers still has room to grow with continued increased revenue earnings in both H1 and H2

"IQE Says 2016 Adjusted Profit And Revenue To Beat Its Expectations
LONDON (Alliance News) - Semiconductor wafer products manufacturer IQE PLC on Wednesday said its adjusted profit and revenue are set to outpace expectations for 2016 following strong trading in the business.

IQE said trading since its interim results announcement on September 13 has remained robust, particularly in its Photonics division. Revenue in that division has risen by a double-digit percentage, IQE said, complementing an in-line performance for its Wireless arm.

The group added its revenue has benefited from translating overseas earnings into a weak pound, but said this has been largely offset by its costs also being mainly denominated in dollars.

But given the robust revenue growth, IQE expects its sales for 2016 and its adjusted operating profit, excluding any one-off items, will outpace market expectations for the full year."

Going forward with moderate growth a FY17 Eps of 3.5p and share price of 60 EPs is still only 1.1

I make PEG about 0.8 at current prices. 46/3 with EPS growth at 19%.15.3/19 = 0.8

"inordinately cheap" was the key phrase.

If a share doubles, whether its cheap or not doesn't depend on an adage.

Anyone interested in PEG ratios, its now well over 1 and that's on year end 2017 forecasts. If you're a growth stock investor, that's not cheap.

fwiw I think this will spike and then have a big sell-off as still can't see the evidence for the continuous rise. Now if it had been growing earnings at 15-20% that would be something else.

Caveat being that the shares might be being bought by an acquirer, but think something would have become public by now with the holdings.

Love those charts-thanks fingers Will be having a few therapeutic non Internet days so see you next week, repeat after me boys and girls

When something inordinately cheap doubles in price, that's all it does, it does NOT become expensive, it's just a little less cheap.

FWIW
Yesterday was a busy trading day with recent maximum prices.
Using ADVFN data from beginning of 2014 (over 800 trading days)

Statistic_____Close___Volume______Price_Volume

Max___________47.00___53,101,478__Yday__17Jun16
Onein100day___40.78___12,899,110
Q3____________24.50____2,625,313
Median________22.30____1,474,585__Middle of a sorted sample
Q1____________19.30______788,119

For 2017 Maximum volume was 01Feb17 at 35,322,584 … Yday 8,176,355

Maximum price was Yesterday with a day high of 47.75p
and price swing (Hi–Lo)/Close was 8.5% which is the max for the year
but below the one in a hundred day (10.8%) which normally happen on a RNS day

Well done here. Been watching and never bought. A true star during the 1999-2000 tech. stock euphoria

More gains look almost a fait accompli (pardon the dichotomy)

Assuming the results come good next month the PER would still be industry modest at 50p sp, so no need to sell out yet imo. Also I do wonder whether stakebuilding is taking place ready for a post result bid? With very high product demand likely over the next few years you would expect income and profits to soar so at the moment I am comfortable with the rising share price.
