AMT, IQE have switched momentum roles with ENSI, hopefully you’re still invested over there. Strange stagnating share price performance here, might be worth buying some more and sticking it in an ISA for a few years. Wider market doesn’t seem to be looking at them for whatever reason…

The regular flow of large (typically ~220k) delayed trades seems to indicate a flow from large/priviledged holders into the wider retail domain. I assume they probably include those subscribing to the new issue, known I believe as 'tail-biting'.
Very nice free money for them, but wouldn't it be better for that profit to be going to the company by selling the shares at the going rate?
I appreciate that to commit to receiving and accepting the latest announced large order it is necessary to have in place the financial means to deliver on it. However, the market response to events seems to indicate that the placing was significantly inderpriced. Does it not also also illustrate that the company which claims to be in line to receive further such orders is significantly undercapitalised so that the event is likely to recur?

I realise that I am about to stray into a slightly different field with far wider implications than just the particular prospects of ENSI. Some many years ago the previously forbidden practice of a company buying its own shares became permitted and has generally worked well. Perhaps the reverse process should now be permitted, i.e of a company creating treasury shares that can be sold within regulated rules at market rates to maximise the company's income and the requirements of an expanding business. This could provide two other distinct advantages to the wider market; (1) that of enfranchising all existing and potential shareholders on an equal basis and (2) providing a smooth progression of finance in place of the shocks imposed on those not in-the-know by the sudden announcement of done-in-the-dark deals.
The above suggestion is only one of several that could be put forward (or may be already possible) such as an open auction process or open offer subscription e.g. as provided by Primary Bid.

LongTallSally - your question was asked at the InvestorMeet presentation a couple of days ago - worth a listen if you haven't already.

Basically, they are not Nvidia with its AI chips for training and inference, but AI is increasing the ASIC market (a move away from standard to tailored) and AI will need a huge increase in Edge computing which is where ENSI is strong.

Think this might be what is behind the 'AI' comments, not AI as such -

longtallsally- I agree with you. Though I'm not a holder here, I've been watching Ensi since it was recently highlighted elsewhere.

This placing looks a bit underhand & concerning to me. It hasn't raised that much capital given the short term cashflow pressures highlighted yesterday. It has cost approx. 10% (raising £1m, yet costing c. £1.115m pre-expenses).

Most importantly, the dilution is at a share price of 50p, which largely fails to reflect yesterday's strong re-rating following the company's trading update.

Clearly, the factoring arrangement is still some way off being agreed and wouldn't have been sufficient anyway to fully plug the current gap. Otherwise, why not just wait for that? Rather than dilute, offering mates' rates to line the pockets of the least-deserving (i.e. the City brigade)?

I think the issue the market has with Ensi is a suspicion about rev growth, expect after todays excitement post Sunday Times article it will decline back to 50p

Good morning all :)

Though I am no expert, I get the sense that this is a very significant RNS and has the makings of a cracking new area that ENSI are addressing. The immediate commercialisation of IP license is particularly heartening....we all know how ARM Holdings did with its IP portfolio :)

I think the market will like this but with the current market sentiment one can't take anything for granted.

Good luck !

RNS posted for the record - bold emphasis mine

Release of Post Quantum Cryptography accelerators IP

First customer license granted to major semiconductor supplier

EnSilica (AIM: ENSI), a leading chip maker of mixed-signal ASICs (Application Specific Integrated Circuits), is pleased to announce the release of a range of Post-Quantum Cryptography ("PQC") accelerators, with the first of these intellectual property ("IP") licenses granted to a major semiconductor supplier.



EnSilica is one of the few companies to offer advanced cryptographic accelerators1 to the market as licensable IP cores, expanding EnSilica's comprehensive range of non-quantum resistant cryptography accelerators for use in its ASICs and other semiconductors.



PQC refers to cryptographic algorithms that can withstand cyber-attacks from quantum computers. As quantum computing advances and noting that artificial intelligence ("AI") based systems are often backed by large datasets that need to be kept secured, there is a real threat that cyber-attacks will break the current public key-based cryptography used in today's secure communications and financial transactions. The draft standard for the first of these cryptographic algorithms was published by the U.S. Department of Commerce's National Institute of Standards and Technology ("NIST") last year.



The widespread adoption of PQC is fuelled by the fear that sensitive encrypted data harvested today, might one day be compromised once powerful quantum computers emerge. This is a critical concern for governments safeguarding secrets and businesses handling sensitive and confidential information.



As well as PQC, the cybersecurity landscape is evolving, necessitating the redesign of many ASICs. This is due to the European Union's recently enacted Network and Information Security ("NIS2") directive. The NIS2 directive, now encompassing a wider remit than the original Network and Information Security directive released in 2016, now includes the manufacturing sectors for critical products such as pharmaceuticals, medical devices, and chemicals, as well as other critical services such as energy and waste management, public electronic communication networks as well as space and aerospace.



Ian Lankshear, Chief Executive Officer of EnSilica, commented:



"EnSilica's commitment to technological innovation is reflected in our comprehensive range of cryptographic accelerators IP to address the next generation of cybersecurity threats.



The commercial licensing agreement with this major semiconductor giant validates the intrinsic value of our intellectual property. EnSilica not only licenses its IP to other semiconductor companies but also leverages it in the development of custom ASICs which we supply to our clients. Having such IP is a key differentiator for EnSilica's ASIC business given the markets we address, as well as for bringing in high margin IP licensing revenue."



1 Cryptographic accelerator: a specialized hardware component integrated into semiconductor devices, designed to efficiently perform cryptographic operations, such as encryption and decryption, faster, with lower-power and more securely than software-based implementations.

The indesmatech news release seems to read a lot more bullish than the one put out by Ensi
