It’s 5% not 0.5%
1 million only 0.5% so no TR1 will be issued but blimey what a corker... Must be a reason for such a trade?

TR1 surely due?

Interims pretty much flat. Better prospects for improvement in the future once covid has disappeared...and possibly a takeover target. Worth keeping them tucked away for at least another year as the price is unlikely to drop much.
They were hiring a number of new engineers at the very beginning of 2020. Like many smaller manufacturing companies the virus has delayed orders/profits/news. Am confident the sp will gradually rise from the recent 7p bottom
Great source of info is the company website and also take a look at the last two years or so of news announcements. Bit of a trudge but you may well find a company which would appear to have been making significant changes. We are yet to see confirmed contracts or any reflection in the share price! Good luck

Any thoughts ? looks cheap but share chart says patient dead, board seems to have changed a bit except chairman who was full time for a while. Can’t find any decent research and don’t look like they like doing interviews as can’t find any.
No.
If you understand the technology then FTC are not placed to replace Huawei kit.
They may provide low level components to the various 5G hardware platforms (femto/pico cells, radio heads etc.) but not a complete HW solution. Different gravy.
Not a chance....dog of a company....poorly run and never makes a profit...always raising cash
This sucker is a dead duck. Nobody even interested in making a takeover bid.....Yawn
Could we see Filtronic be one of the main players replacing Huawei kit in the UK?
Several new contracts this year.

Still not showing on LSE of today’s RNS. I thought market reaction should be much better than 7% up

Filtronic plc (AIM: FTC), the designer and manufacturer of RF, microwave, and mmWave products for the wireless telecoms, mission-critical communications and defence applications markets, today announced that it has now shipped a total of 50,000 high-performance E-band transceiver modules targeted at the growing 5G backhaul market.
This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20200723005449/en/

E-band spectrum (in the mmWave frequency ranges 71 – 76GHz and 81 – 86GHz) offers OEMs wide bandwidth, enabling them to provide 5G mobile network operators with high-capacity and high data rate backhaul, midhaul and front-haul (collectively known as XHaul). E-band has been identified as one of the critical wireless technologies required to address the demanding XHaul capacity requirements of 5G networks, and is now experiencing significant growth. Systems containing Filtronic’s core E-band technology have been successfully demonstrated at data rates up to 40Gbps.
“There has been a record demand this year for our flagship E-band transceiver module, Orpheus, which has been delivered in volume to a number of customers for integration into high-capacity mobile backhaul radio solutions,” said Reg Gott, Executive Chairman of Filtronic. “Earlier this year we added the new-generation Morpheus II to our product range, and demand for this module is beginning to take off as well, in particular for the high power option that is desirable for implementing carrier aggregation.”
Both Morpheus II and Orpheus have a highly-integrated architecture with an embedded diplexer and are 100% tested prior to despatch. They contain all the necessary RF transmit and receive functions for an E-band radio link, enabling the module to simply drop in between the antenna and baseband modem, and include a control board that calibrates the whole RF system. Morpheus II also incorporates a new generation of highly linear, high-power amplifier MMICs that have been developed in house by Filtronic. Both products have been qualified for deployment in the latest radio platforms specifically developed for 5G XHaul applications, and Filtronic transceiver modules have been widely deployed and field-proven in wide-bandwidth, high-capacity applications up to 10Gbps per channel.
Filtronic’s leading-edge E-band solutions feature a readily-configurable architecture, and provide an ideal platform to develop systems for other applications globally. These include long-range defence, enterprise, and both high-throughput Low Eart
RNS not showing on Investigate and LSE? can you guys see RNS of 50K order shipped.
way undervalued...!!
Amazing and should be over 15p
Hi Tywnine. I agree with you. It may explain why ftc has been a rollercoaster for years. I have followed this stock for a long time. It appears to fall to lows around 6 and then rise to the teens or higher before collapsing again. I think this is due to management not being able to capitalize on opportunities. They restructure and start again. I bought at 6p. I am looking for news to push them into the teens and then sell. Big res at 12p coming up on chart. Will it break who knows
Some quite decent size lots being taken at FTC.
The Huawei issues have certainly brightened up things on the Filtronic front and brought the company much more into the focus of the many who have been unaware of them in the past.
I'm a newby here, just doing some initial research but I notice a distinct lack of board members technical qualifications in the company's core product market - radio telecommunications. They seem to be more focused on the 'blue light' sector rather than commercial mobile so would need to tie up with one of the big three (Ericsson, Nokia, Samsung) to take advantage of the 5G roll out.
Not pumping this but thought after the recent government annoucements this could sky rocket - sorry will pull myself back lol
Some positive news mentioned in the House of Commons yesterday. Now that Huawei is out of the picture, hoping these guys are best suited to the challenge of 5G ahead now.
What would FTC fetch if consolidated?
I think we will see a consolidation in the semiconductor market as large vendors are gearing up their mmWave capabilities for markets such as 5G. Recent announcement by Qorvo on acquiring Custom MMIC.
