Anime and spirent have also fallen heavily in recent weeks. Broker downgrades for spirent and trading statement at anite has produced worries that anite may miss profit targets. Filtronics in the same 4g sector. May be a good idea to wait for the dust to settle

Bad head and shoulders formation ? Any chart techies can confirm ? Fundamentally all looks good.. But the chart is perched on a Cliff looking down to c. 50p

whats going on with the SP?
Dies anyone have a reason for the continued fall?
chart doesnt look good

A take over about to begin if I ever saw one. Who's buying up big chunks of the 4G play of 2013? Ideas?

melody9999 - You could be right.It could be her shoe budget for the year. ;)

Hi She-ra. You may be right.

There again who knows what personal circumstance resulted in Moynihan sale (let me know if you do!)

Yes .... you have to buy into the growth potential on offer. I remember ASOS at 6p - wish I had bought some and then forgotten I had bought some!)

melody9999 - Shame director Maura Moynihan doesnt agree with you having recently sold a good number of shares.Even if they did 15% profits on sales it wouldnt justify this jam tomorrow shareprice.

If you have a company growing this strongly then historic PEs are largely irrelevant. See the below from the recent interims. Of course you have to accept volatility in the SP, but the comforting factor, is as long as the company keeps growing at this rate, the market will address the valuation because as FTC suggest, the increased revenue will drop into increased profitability.

Financial Summary

× Revenue from continuing operations £16.4m (H1 2012: £10.5m)
× Wireless sales £11.9m (H1 2012: £5.2m)
× Broadband sales £4.5m (H1 2012: £5.3m)
× Operating profit before amortisation and exceptional items of £0.1m (H1 2012: £1.2m loss)
× Cash of £3.2m (31 May 2012: £3.7m)
× Net cash inflow from operating activities improved to £0.2m (H1 2012: £0.5m outflow)

Highlights
× Revenues grow 56% versus H1 2012
× Wireless sales growth of 50% or over for third consecutive half year
× Operating profit of £0.1m (before amortisation and exceptional items) with Wireless growth outstripping Broadband reduction
× Broadening of customer base in both Wireless and Broadband businesses

Commenting on the Outlook, Howard Ford, Chairman said:
"Overall, the Board anticipates that stronger than expected Wireless results will more than compensate for the shortfall in Broadband, and that Group performance will be ahead of current market estimates for both turnover and profits, with Wireless sales likely to represent nearly 80% of the total Group revenues for FY 2013."

can anyone reason why FTC has fallen so much?
i appreciate and expect a pullback, but this is more than a pullback!

this must be one of the most volatile stocks on the LSE, totally unsuited to SETS. Director sell can't have helped.

Anites taken a big hit today looks like the whole 4g sector has wobbled. They are rated highly so any worries could produce falls

[pleaty1] 11/3/2013 12:47

anyone understand the reason for the wide spread for so long

[jakecat1] 08/3/2013 17:55

Gconvery - wise words indeed. I echo 'Shh!'

[rafomania] 08/3/2013 13:16

Filtronic is doing the business not sure why board so quiet!! Love it, onward and upward......

[tech] 08/3/2013 10:38

Some nice buying, and auction

[gconvery] 08/3/2013 08:36

Shhh..... ;-)

[tech] 05/3/2013 16:10

Breaking out nicely

[buster78] 05/3/2013 08:52

I disagree with you on that one, as each morning when there is lots of selling it always picks back up in the am which is a very positive sign, this will keep going higher for a little longer.

[pjhutchy] 04/3/2013 19:16

Looking a bit exuasted. May go lower before the April trading update which should give us a boost

[she-ra] 22/2/2013 16:45

Bit of buying today.Being Friday hopefully it was a weekend tipster stocking up.
