Small punters getting taken for a ride this morning chasing their tails now |
"Consequently, we anticipate H1 to be stronger than H2, as the retrofit completes, and we revert back to supporting the extension of the network."
It'll be interesting to learn how much stronger when they report next Feb. If H1 is >60% of full year forecasts then they certainly need to pull some new contracts in soon as otherwise the FY26 forecast will be a real challenge. And therein lies the problem with huge single customer concentration... |
I think H1 being stronger than H2 may have concerned some, but really it all looks very positive. As ever, contract news will drive the next leap in price. |
I follow them all including RKLB and many others. I think Trump takes POTUS and that squashes all Space competitors for a few years. |
tiger,
Keep an eye on AST Space Mobile:

Starlink is facing increasing competition. If Trump loses, you could conceivably see him gradually shut out of defence-related work as his close relationship with Putin makes him a security risk. |
 This company is going to seriously start moving. Found this in a telegram channel this morning.I think £1 is going to come faster than most think and then who knows where:
- Yesterday RR announces a £1B investment into Aerospace
- A few weeks back, FTC was forced to expand their facility to meet SpaceX demand
- Strong order flow from SpaceX in H1 FY2025 for Starlink per RNS today
- Anyone unfamiliar with 'Starlink'. This is the future of the internet. It is basically high speed internet access from Space. Bezos and Branson are trying to get a piece of that piece via their Kuiper and Virgin Gallatic programs. Musk has a MASSIVE advantage with Starlink as his parent company (SpaceX) has already positioned the most low earth orbit (LEO) sattelites in Space. The other big companies are nowhere near this progress and I believe Starlink services are already being offered to residents in US or Canada. No need to dig and lay underground or overground infrastructure for Internet Service Providers (ISP). A simple antenna on your house or car and you have full speed uninterrupted internet access. No more drop outs on the motorway as you won't be relying on Mobile towers for data. Internet access in third world countries becomes easier. Heck soon you could be on top of Mount Everest and get internet access. This is the future of the internet.
- "To enable this, we added another production line in July 2024, and we expect to add another line in November 2024 to provide further capacity to ensure we can capitalise on other market opportunities as they are presented" (today's RNS) Historically this company was like ARM, look at their MCAP back in the day.
- From todays RNS - "This has enabled us to run multiple projects in parallel including the developments for the European Space Agency, QinetiQ and BAE"
- GaN (Gallium Nitride) V-band chipsets have delivered a very encouraging set of results. Research GaN or just watch this interview with FTC CTO from 2 days ago about GaN. Absolute gamechanger - Be quick because the video keeps getting taken down and going private. This was a podcast a couple of days ago and the CTO will explain the GaN chipset.
- "We are in advanced discussions for some further contracts in the space and aerospace and defence market which we hope to provide updates on soon, and have enjoyed some smaller development contract wins in recent months. Of particular note are a couple of contract wins in the space market utilising our recent investment in plastic encapsulation machinery. Encouraged to purchase by our lead defence customer for sovereign capability, we are now seeing wider interest in the technology offering throughout our core markets"
- UK Investor Magazine sees the huge upside here - hxxps://x.com/UKInvestorMAG/status/1851559512538271886
- If Trump takes office there is no doubt in my mind Elon gets a position in his cabinet to propel green projects and promote his EV and Space projects. He will have a monopoly on this. And guess which little old company on the LSE goes into beast mode?.....yup you got it.
FTC is the best Space play on the LSE and could be one of those rags to riches stories. This is like the Amazon story of the 1990s. |
And this from a company that is not known for over hyping the story.
I suspect that we shall soon see this year's high ( 80p ? ) being re-tested. |
Smashing last paragraph!
"We are in advanced discussions for some further contracts in the space and aerospace and defence market which we hope to provide updates on soon, and have enjoyed some smaller development contract wins in recent months. Of particular note are a couple of contract wins in the space market utilising our recent investment in plastic encapsulation machinery. Encouraged to purchase by our lead defence customer for sovereign capability, we are now seeing wider interest in the technology offering throughout our core markets."
Onwards we go....!

Lucky I topped up on Monday....I can see this heading towards a £1 by Y/E.. |
IHT relief reduced the Business Asset Disposal Relief (BADR) and Investors' Relief (IR) rate to 14% from 6 April 2025 and to 18% from 6 April 2026 |
Budget done, buyers back in today |
Lets hope the old witch doesn't upset the markets, but encourages more investment by reducing taxes on those that risk their own money.....
Labour say they want to grow economy, discouraging investment is not the way to go about that.. |

Pre-AGM trading statement on Thursday the 31st that will hopefully report that Filtronic is trading ahead of expectations.
Fingers firmly crossed…!!

With Musk as a client it gives credibility to Filtronics products, which would give confidence to other clients... |
volsung, LOL. Negative comments can be viewed that way but I'm not here for that. I'm here to make money so discussion is essential. |
Musk has applied for another 30000 for next generation of starlink. |
I don't think Musk goes in for second best. That last rocket of his speaks volumes. His people met Filtronic's and were satisfied. So am I. |
Musk is a big client, but not the only one. Ultimately, it's about whether the number of flying objects processing huge amounts of data is likely to increase or decrease over the next few years, and whether FTC can maintain its global leadership position in its niche. If it does, it is a multi billion business. |
As a troll? |
If Musk wasn't on the scene, would this company be in the news? With his finacial clout he could buy the company for lunch money.
It doesn't have good prospectives and if Musk said he's gone elsewhere we'd be back at 20p. Can someone show me why I'm still here? |
