Posted at 20/11/2024 11:07 by lord loads of lolly LTS - "As investors in IQE we will just have to stick with it"?Depends whether you believe there'll be another upswing anytime soon. If not, the alternative option is simply to cut your losses & switch to a potentially more profitable option. I'll be sticking with it, as the pattern here in the past has always been feast to famine. With fewer feasts than famines. |
Posted at 20/11/2024 09:23 by longtallsally Provonar, thinking about what you said, I suspect Americo went too early with the latest order of three or four Aixtron machines last year. I’m sure one will be put to good use in Taiwan but the others are likely lying dormant now we know IQE business has faltered.I suspect that the reality is IQE won’t start to potentially prosper again until 2026/2027, seeing as 2025 less than spectacular earnings forecasts have been reduced once more. As you point out, their focus now is to get to that point still functioning as a going concern. As investors in IQE we will just have to stick with it, as it’s obviously not going to be a quick turnaround. |
Posted at 19/11/2024 09:28 by longtallsally Looking forward I think as always with IQE the issue will be the timing of when to bank the inevitable next share price rise. A look at the chart and history tells us it is littered with huge rise and falls over the past 20 years after times of hope and the next disappointment. Unless IQE look like they will have to be fire sold next year the share price will recover, to some degree it always does, but perhaps with just lower highs (80p won’t be seen for many years again imo)If the Taiwan IPO is successfully handled and IQE don’t issue another profit warning on next years now reduced earnings then expect the share price to be in the 20s or 30s before this time next year. The problem for investors will be as happened this year people will get carried away yet again (see Crosswires end of year share price predictions list), BUT unless there is concrete proof of big new orders we would all be best ignoring anyone predicting huge revenue increases without such proof as it often comes to nothing (see Americo Lemos or Captain Calamity as he is now known). Personally if the share price does recover well into the 30s then I will be selling and not looking back. Holding IQE has been far too stressful and disappointing and if break even could be achieved then I would be satisfied to have just lost time but not money with my investment here. |
Posted at 13/11/2024 16:22 by longtallsally You say they are not morons Tom but if you look back at their past 6 years, since the unfortunate passing of their CEO PR, and grade the board it would be M for morons.Supposedly crammed full of highly respected people from the tech and business world, none of them underpaid, what are they doing for their moolah? What a disaster this company has been for most investors and really the only thing any of us can do is laugh at them and ourselves with black humour. |
Posted at 13/11/2024 14:13 by crosswires James IQE still had £23m left to use on the revolving credit facility in April, and only need to get through to H2 next year for the Taiwan IPO. I don’t believe that’s an issue as either bank or large institutional investors (via another raise) would intervene before that as it’s in their interest. Share price on the back of even a modestly successful IPO next year will obviously value IQE significantly higher than here.Fear is a powerful driver of share prices on the way down just as over exuberance can be on the way up. I don’t believe we will ever know why Americo left, these things stay private on matter of principle and legality. LTS, I haven’t filtered anyone for a while so must have filtered whoever you refer to a while ago. People will believe whatever they want to, of zero interest to me either way, and yes over £200k down on paper but I feel the end game will be different. As I have said before if I lose it all it will be frustrating and obviously isn’t ideal but fortunately it won’t impact my life. |
Posted at 13/11/2024 13:46 by lord loads of lolly LTS - I think your fantasy game theory's highly plausible & am on record several times saying as much (going back more than a year).Americo Lemos even sounds like a plausible name for a spy - Ian Fleming would be proud! Of course, we could both be wrong. But whatever the reason, the company's continued refusal - either to elaborate or reassure - is doing investors immense harm (on paper at least). The fact Lemos left with immediate effect & without thanks is telling. To me it suggests he was either found guilty of commercial or personal impropriety. Why else would you fire your CEO on the spot? It's clearly not just a matter of him failing to hit targets or looking unlikely he ever could. Either way, we deserve so much better than this continued wall of silence, which simply encourages speculation and shorting. And by the way everyone, where's sweenoid? LOL. |
Posted at 12/11/2024 16:43 by longtallsally Almost another 10% decline and MC now £102m. As investors I suspect we would be better off with a sale and cutting our losses at circa £150m mc value. |
Posted at 02/10/2024 19:13 by tomduck I think it’s strange to see Sally castigated for a very mild humorous post and more shows imo how investors here feel battered by the poor performance of the company. I don’t see why investors shouldn’t moan here about it why would you sit here praising the company. Also look around at some other boards on here, this one is very well mannered compared to many so perhaps show a bit of common sense and don’t be so quick to judge. |
Posted at 19/9/2024 08:14 by picobird Long Tall, are you one of those ‘blind investors’ & does that include Lombard & Investors Chronicle, perhaps AL himself ? |
Posted at 16/9/2024 16:02 by crosswires I do think it’s telling that no insiders are buying as the price falls even further. They will be the first to know that the business is turning round and I think the lack of any inside buys is indicative that the next 6-12 months are not going to be that exciting.On other news I asked an additional question (after the results Q&A) via email via IQE investor relations last week and sadly they haven’t even acknowledged the email. Seems not much love given to loyal investors and whilst I may not have the multi millions of shares some have I do have 1.1m, so would like to think an email response isn’t too arduous… |
