Posted at 20/5/2025 15:33 by boboty Cut and paste from London south east bulletin board "bocasefarmPosts: 51Price: 10.62No OpinionFinally turning the corner?Today 07:20IQE issues coming to an end, says Deutsche BankThe 'litany of false starts' at IQE (IQE) should be coming to an end after 'right-sizing' by boss Jutta Meier, says Deutsche Bank.Analyst John Karidis retained his 'buy' recommendation and target price of 20p on the British semiconductor group, which closed down 0.9% at 10.6p on Monday and has shed 70% of its value over the past year.Karidis said Meier had 'right-sized IQE's cost and asset base, earned the trust of its employees and customers, and instilled firm discipline in how IQE pursues its many opportunities to grow value materially'.The opportunities are driven by strong demand for artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure and applications, as well as aerospace and military needs. In parallel, the board is also working to pay down debt and earn cash to 'best exploit its opportunities, by disposing of or partially-listing IQE Taiwan', said Karidis.'IQE prefers a full disposal as this will raise more cash, faster... IQE reported good progress on this front: we think the company is talking to several interested parties on a range of possibilities, and that the process is nearing its end stage,' he said. |
Posted at 13/5/2025 22:59 by sweenoid My last post till I hibernate againIt’s Our new CEO’s comment on LinkedIn which it seems to me is the go to place for any IQE news these days. I admit to being taken in by our previous CEO- too much bluster!! And it was an expensive misjudgement! 🤨I like the idea of a woman captaining the ‘ship’ and I like her comments, however whether IQE sinks or swims is now seemingly totally dependent on the success of the strategic review and I bet it’s successful “Today, we announced IQE’s full-year 2024 financial results and my appointment as CEO of IQE. I want to thank the Board and all our stakeholders for their trust. It’s an honour to lead this business at what I believe is a key moment in IQE’s journey. In a challenging market, we delivered a solid performance, with an improvement in adjusted EBITDA reflecting our strong focus on cost control and improved operational discipline. We also continued our development of next-generation technologies, as we continued to diversify into high-growth markets and support the AI revolution. This past year has been a pivotal one - challenging us to step back, refocus and take bold steps to reshape the business for long-term resilience. We’ve made meaningful progress and while there’s still work to do, the direction is clear. The strategic review now underway is key to unlocking value, enabling future investment, and positioning IQE for long-term growth. I’m confident in our direction and in the capability of our team to deliver it. IQE has a strong foundation from which to unlock value for all of our stakeholders and with a diverse customer pipeline, the continued end-market demand for our technology gives us confidence for the future. This is a very exciting period for IQE, and I look forward to working closely with our employees, partners and customers as we take the business into its next chapter.” S |
Posted at 13/5/2025 10:54 by crosswires I asked a lot of questions and most were answered which means disappointingly not many others asked questions, why not considering what has happened to our investment?My take on earnings and the update, pretty poor year, as already known but not worse than expected and no bad surprises which is something to celebrate. Agree that it’s not great for the company long term that the majority of wireless revenues will disappear when Taiwan is inevitably sold and given their remarks I assume it will be this year as speed is of the essence. Clearly they wouldn’t sell unless desperate but it’s sell or effectively go out of business. However it is important what they receive via the sale is substantial, given the revenue of wireless is over 50% of total earnings and is probably £50m+ PA. The Taiwan concern should valued at a minimum the current entire IQE MC (£88m) even as a quick sale. If it’s less than the revenue number of Taiwan (£50-60m) then someone has had a fire sale result. I do like the new team, certainly they are grown up, well connected proper business people who are held in regard in the community. That’s a step up from Drew who was a genius but not imo the ideal runner of the business. Let’s forget about Americo, I asked for clarity on him but they clearly considered him persona non grata and I doubt they will ever mention him or his failed reign again. It is something of a relief to know that going forward large debt is off the table, once stability has returned this alone should make the company better able to deal with market corrections and more importantly be a better investment long term. Seems the CHIPS grant is not yet dead in the water, anything being handed out would be gratefully received! So the plan is, sell the crown jewels to rescue the long term sustainability and become smaller but leaner and be able to respond as a lean company should (dynamically) to new growth from AI, GaN and further down the road in Micro LED. I suspect we have seen the share price bottom put in at 8p already, and once we know how much Taiwan raises we will know how far the share price may rise, but it could easily be 15-16p at that time imo so no wonder the team are happy to be paid in options that will almost double their pay. After all who is best placed to see what’s most likely to happen ;) To sum up 2025 and beyond should be more positive with Jutta and her team albeit we must realise IQE will then be a smaller business, one with perhaps only £60-£75m+ PA revenues at first, although hopefully with some actual yearly profits post Taiwan sale. Perhaps it’s best to think of IQE post Taiwan as a new company and investment, certainly good to expunge their recent history and reset… |
Posted at 16/4/2025 09:13 by crosswires Sadly a lot has happened since the TU and it’s hard to believe it won’t affect IQEs 2025 earnings, given IQEs past we would be extremely naive to think otherwise. The market is clearly expecting a further earnings hit with our 9p share price and pathetic £90m mc.I expect no growth at the very best in 2025 and it’s how IQE navigates this period via the strategic review to get into shape to resume growth for 2026 that interests me. I feel fairly sure they will need to raise more money somehow, and the favourite was probably the Taiwan sale because I don’t think the market would tolerate another dilutive “raise”. As we know this will be in a much less favourable environment than before Trumps tariff nonsense which is yet another bump in the road that was unexpected at the TU and it wouldn’t surprise me if Taiwan sale is postponed for now. Severe but plausible downside case was outlined in the last results and that seems the likely scenario for this year, but IQE was confident it could pass such a test, let’s hope it’s not even worse than that in reality! IQE are going to need their large shareholders to support them further still through this tough period. Just to add to the joy the Nasdaq futures are down heavily as Trump has restricted Nvidias AI exports which is said to be a $5.5b hit and ASML missed their analyst projections by $1b and ASML's CEO, said tariffs are "creating a new uncertainty" for both the economy and "our potential market demands." In other words chaos but it is what it is. |
Posted at 12/4/2025 12:17 by hannath This is a more in depth description than the release I read mentioning an order from IQE throughout 2025 (albeit not large)Quintessent and IQE Establish Quantum Dot Epitaxial Wafer Supply Chain for AI Optical Interconnects January 23, 2025, 11:00 AM Eastern Standard Time SANTA BARBARA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Quintessent Inc., a pioneer in quantum dot laser technology and heterogeneous silicon photonics, and IQE plc, the leading global supplier of advanced epitaxial wafer products and services, have partnered together to establish the world’s first large-scale quantum dot laser and semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) epitaxial wafer supply chain. This collaboration, supported by purchase order commitments from Quintessent, will see IQE deliver production quantities of epitaxial wafers to Quintessent throughout 2025. The ever-growing demand for larger parameter models for AI training and inferencing necessitates the interconnectedness of disaggregated compute and memory resources with high bandwidth, low latency, low energy consumption and high reliability, which can only be met with advanced optical interconnects. The laser source within the optical interconnect is a major driver of all these performance metrics, but conventional laser technology and the associated III-V supply chain falls short of AI’s future demands. Reliability of the laser is especially crucial and is perceived to be a limiting factor in scaling optical interconnects for future AI “factories. The supply of high quality and high-volume quantum dot epitaxial wafers for laser sources and SOAs have been limited until recent breakthroughs were achieved by Quintessent and IQE, which have been in the making for the past decade, including research that was spun out of John Bower’s laboratory at the University of California, Santa Barbara. Transitioning the GaAs based quantum dot research to high volume production has resulted in highly optimized and high performing gain material on 6-inch diameter epitaxial wafers that can produce several hundreds of millions of edge-emitting lasers and SOAs per year. “The performance, cost, and reliability advantages that quantum dot-based lasers and amplifiers enable over their quantum well counterparts are exactly what our customers are demanding to address the soaring need for optical connectivity in AI driven compute,” said Alan Liu, CEO and co-founder of Quintessent. “Through our partnership with IQE, we have brought this transformative technology to scale, positioning us to be the leader in delivering solutions leveraging quantum dot laser and SOA technology.” “IQE is very pleased to have received this commitment from Quintessent,” said Mark Furlong, Chief Revenue Officer of IQE. “Our long-term partnership on commercial products and DoD programs has yielded QDL wafers with excellent reproducibility and lasing performance. In addition to expertise in volume manufacturing of epitaxial wafers, our partnership with Quintessent demonstrates IQE's strong track record in scaling the manufacturing readiness of new product into volume production.” About Quintessent Inc.: Quintessent is solving the foundational bottlenecks limiting the scalability and reliability of optical connectivity required by next-generation AI and computing infrastructure. Leveraging multiple innovations that span high-performance quantum dot materials, photonic integrated circuit design, and system-optimized link architecture, Quintessent’s technology slashes power consumption and packaging complexity while achieving multiplicative increases in both bandwidth density and reliability – unlocking the massive scaling needed for future AI applications. Quintessent is headquartered in Santa Barbara, California.

Posted at 11/4/2025 13:57 by guildedge So the T&C. Will IQE be left with a large bill to pay in 12 months if Lombard don't accept the shares?Conversion The Noteholders shall have the right to convert some or all of the principal into ordinary shares at a conversion price of 15 pence per share (the "Conversion Price") at any time prior to maturity of the Loan Notes, and the Company will have the same right provided IQE's daily volume weighted average price of the ordinary shares over both (i) the period of three months; and (ii) the period of seven trading days prior to the date of service of notice of Conversion by the Company exceeds the daily VWAP on the date of issuance of the Loan Notes by more than 33%. In addition if it is the Company serving notice of Conversion, the Noteholders may also elect not to proceed to Conversion for any or all of their Loan Notes and instead be cash-settled. In such circumstances, the Company shall pay the Noteholder: · the nominal value of the Loan Notes, plus · a redemption premium equal to the amount by which the Conversion Price is exceeded by the highest daily VWAP of the Company's ordinary shares over the period of seven trading days prior to the notice of Conversion, multiplied by · the number of the Company's ordinary shares that the Noteholder would have received had it proceeded with Conversion. In the event that the Company redeems the Loan Notes without the Noteholders electing for Conversion or for cash settlement as above, the Company shall issue the Warrants to the Noteholders. The Warrants will allow the Noteholders to subscribe at a price of 15 pence per ordinary share for such number of the Company's shares as would, based on a subscription price of 15 pence, be equal in value to the amount that the Noteholders would have received on redemption of the Loan Notes. The Warrants will lapse and cease to be exercisable if they are not exercised prior to the third anniversary of the date on which the Loan Notes are issued. Adjustments For so long as the Loan Notes remain in issue, the Loan Notes will be subject to adjustment should IQE undertake certain actions that would result in a dilution of the Loan Notes if no adjustment took place. Such actions comprise (i) any allotment or issue of equity securities by IQE; (ii) any cancellation, purchase or redemption, reduction or repayment of equity securities by IQE; and (iii) any sub-division, consolidation or reclassification of IQE's ordinary shares by IQE. The number of and / or the Conversion Price for IQE's ordinary shares to be converted as part of any such adjustment shall be determined and certified by IQE's professional advisors or auditors so that the Noteholders will be entitled to receive the same percentage of the issued share capital of IQE carrying the same proportion of votes exercisable at a general meeting of IQE shareholders and the same entitlement to participate in distributions of IQE, as would have been the case had the Loan Notes not been diluted. |
Posted at 24/3/2025 07:18 by hannath Hopefully will move the share price …IQE plc Cardiff, UK 24 March 2025 IQE secures $5.8m Infrared customer commitments IQE plc (AIM: IQE, "IQE" or the "Group"), the leading global supplier of compound semiconductor wafer products and advanced material solutions, is pleased to announce that it has secured $5.8m in purchase orders for the provision of epitaxial wafers and base substrates from two long-standing Infrared ("IR") sensing customers.

Posted at 12/2/2025 07:17 by a13878713 Cardiff, UK12 February 2025 Convertible Loan Note FinancingIQE plc (AIM: IQE, "IQE" or the "Company"), one of the leading global suppliers of compound semiconductor wafer products and advanced material solutions, is pleased to announce that, further to the announcement of 18 November 2024, it has entered into subscription agreements with a consortium of existing investors and certain senior executives and Directors, led by its largest shareholder Lombard Odier[1] (the "Noteholders").Under the terms of the subscription agreements, the Noteholders have conditionally agreed to subscribe for, and IQE has conditionally agreed to issue, secured zero-coupon convertible loan notes with a conversion price of 15 pence per ordinary share in the Company pursuant to a convertible loan note instrument (the "CLN") (the "Loan Notes") at 85% of the Loan Notes' face value to raise aggregate subscription proceeds for IQE of £18 million (the "Proposed Transaction"). The initial term of the Loan Notes is 12 months, with an option to extend the Loan Notes for a further six months. Full details of the subscription agreements and CLN are set out below at Appendix 1.The CLN will be secured against the Company's assets in the UK and subordinated to the Company's existing financing facility with HSBC UK Bank PLC ("HSBC") which will be amended and restated upon issuance of the Loan Notes. The directors do not expect the need to raise near term capital following the completion of the Proposed Transaction.No offer or invitation is being made to shareholders more generally to purchase, acquire or subscribe for any of the Loan Notes (as defined below). No application will be made for the admission of the Loan Notes to trading on AIM or any recognised securities exchange. General MeetingThe issuance of the Loan Notes, and therefore the Proposed Transaction is conditional, inter alia, on the passing of resolutions by shareholders (the "Resolutions") at a general meeting of IQE (the "General Meeting"). IQE will shortly send a circular (the "Circular") and a notice convening the General Meeting. The Circular includes, inter alia, details of the CLN and the Resolutions, which are being proposed (a) by way of ordinary resolution, to approve the directors' authority to allot ordinary shares with an aggregate nominal value of up to £1,538,823.53, being equal to 153,882,353 new ordinary shares over which rights to subscribe are being granted by the Company pursuant to the issuance of the Loan Notes and, in the event that the conversion of the principal amount of the Loan Notes into new ordinary shares (the "Conversion") does not take place, warrants to subscribe for ordinary shares (the "Warrants"); and (b) by way of special resolution, to empower the directors to allot and issue equity securities for cash on a non-pre-emptive basis with an aggregate nominal value of up to £1,538,823.53, being equal to 153,882,353 new ordinary shares over which rights to subscribe are being granted by the Company pursuant to the issuance of the Loan Notes and, in the event that Conversion does not take place, the Warrants.As previously announced, the Company is undertaking a Strategic Review which the directors believe will unlock significant unrealised value within the IQE group. The Proposed Transaction is integral to the Strategic Review and the Company's ability to demonstrate financial resilience to both our customers and potential parties to the Strategic Review. Shareholders should be aware that if the Resolutions are not approved at the General Meeting, the Proposed Transaction cannot complete and IQE will not receive the net proceeds from the issuance of the Loan Notes. The directors of IQE independent of the Proposed Transaction, believe that successful completion of the Proposed Transaction is required to maintain sufficient short-term liquidity whilst the Company completes the ongoing strategic review. |
Posted at 10/2/2025 08:46 by crosswires Since November (which was FTC biggest share price move from 65p to 102 IQE has outperformed it, 8p to 16p percentage wise.I was invested in Filtronic in the past and I would imagine there is still room to run but like IQE the trick will be when to take profits. FTC still looks undervalued to me BUT when so much of your revenue is tied to one company and especially with a nut job like Musk, you would probably be wise to take profits all the way up in small tranches. Once that well runs dry, the share price will deflate, although that could be sole way off. Surprised but very happy that IQE is back up at 16p but it does seem that AIM stocks with potential are back in play again. I suspect it will need some actual good news to get us back up to 20p, but who really knows! |
Posted at 31/1/2025 08:40 by crosswires Shares are all about momentum. Sometimes the downside is overdone, sometimes the upside and then sometimes you spend years without much movement at all. The latter never applies to IQE, look at their chart and you will see ten plus years of madness!Due to the industry it’s in and the cyclical nature of that industry it’s a series of large share price movements. I see nothing different this time, and whilst the major move down to 8p was massively overdone the next leg up is probably going to be similar. I wouldn’t rely on British Bulls charts to tell us but history suggests that is the likely outcome. I wouldn’t expect 22p by Easter with my rational head on BUT this game isn’t rational, so I wouldn’t rule it out either. Catalysts for a share price correction would be if IQE wins some significant additional business, if the wider semi market signals it has recovered from the stock build up or good news re Taiwan listing valuation. If one or more of these things appear the share price could easily exceed 22p and with momentum investors appearing spike quickly. I don’t expect that in the next 3 months but then again who knows. |
