GeorgeAndMildrew44 - Let’s Hope Your Right - Nice if SML has a bounce like IQE did today 😉

IQE plc (LSE:IQE) shares have experienced significant upward momentum in early April 2026, building on a rally that started in late 2025 and continued into early 2026. By April 10, 2026, the share price had risen substantially, with one source reporting it reaching 37.00p.

The primary reasons for this rise include:

Takeover Speculation and Strategic Review: The company's ongoing strategic review and ongoing negotiations for non-binding offers for the group as a whole, or its assets, continue to fuel investor interest.

Strong Performance and High-Growth Sector Demand: The share price surged following announcements of strong first-quarter 2026 order books and positive trading performance in the second half of 2025. This momentum is driven by increased demand in key high-growth areas:

AI and Data Centers: Rising demand for photonics products for AI and data center infrastructure.

5G and Wireless: Increased demand for compound semiconductor materials used in 5G infrastructure and mobile devices.

Defense Programmes: Faster-than-expected funding releases for US military and defense programs.

Improved Financial Outlook: The company updated its full-year 2025 guidance to the higher end of expectations, with revenue around £97m and an adjusted EBITDA expected to be at least £2m, indicating a shift towards profitability.

Market Sentiment and Technical Factors: Increased buyer interest is supported by improved sentiment around the global semiconductor market recovery, leading to strong buying volume and a technical breakout in the stock

Jane is no holder of SML she (if it is a she) just winding people up for the fun of it

I’m about to Bag some more - Don’t delay !!

Bag It Now

Don’t Sit On Your Hands -Big it now while it’s cheap!!

Zeus Out Soon Boys but the wait is for institutional investors to make up their minds if the not so far away PFS from SML is going to be a hit 😉

Break100 - Ref an extract from your post - IQE has the potential to be one of the biggest movers of 2026

I totally agree also another SP that will perform better is Strategic Minerals (SML) - They will take the crown - DYOR on those beauties including the recent YouTube presentation 😉

If you want to regain your losses - Take a punt on Strategic Minerals PLC (SML)

Rich, Bowl & Fell I love your optimism guys I genuinely hope the SP increases by the end of 2026 but realistically the board will have show something spectacular whereas of now they are head scratching 😢

Surely the Market Setters take the RNS into account as well as the buys and sells 🤔
