Your correct in your understanding, they have increased, it looks like they have bought Schroders plc shares as they’ve now dropped below 5% in the 2nd RNS.
Best of luck with your investment here.

T.R.P lending out more shares again by the looks of things.

Well if they’re anything like me I always off load some shares from one stock that’s under performing to increase my holdings in one that’s on the up, unless that is they have spare cash on account, what’s the point in that.
All the very best.

Only 763 transactions today with 1.5 million shares traded, this is by far one of the quietest days in IQE over the last year or so.
PI’s sitting on they’re hands, waiting and watching for anything that will kick start these shares, not long now for the update, I suspect we’ll get another 10-15p spike just before the release of figures as it always seems to do.

Catapult and IQE go hand in glove, catapult are actually based within the new IQE facility in Newport , they will stand shoulder to shoulder working side by side, all this new investment going into one state of the art facility really confirms our governments commitment to ensure we will be the world leader in providing our products and know how to an ever increasing market,.
We have reinvented the wheel here, we just need to ensure we can meet demand, the new facility is going well.

Very sorry to here your not firing on all cylinders so to speak, you did touch on that back last year, I wish you all the very best of health and luck going forward.
it seems the shorters have got IQE by the short and curlies at this moment in time but they cannot control the innevertable rise which will eventually come, saying all that, making a living with trading the daily highs and lows for now!!!!!
The stock I told you about was Creo Medical, if I recall it was around .57p at the time.
I wish you all the best of health my friend .
Kind Regards
Hi mate, hope your keeping well, not sure if you ever invested in that tip I gave you back late last year but they have increased by 150% since I told you, up 8% today alone!!!!!!
Sorry if it doesn’t concern you,
If you can’t remember contact me on IQE , that goes on all here also,
REGARDS
Error, £1.46 , never mind , that only equates to a few 10s of millions, the board don’t seem to mind!!!!
Well, we have just over 1.54 billion shares issued, £1.49 down to £0.89 or minus .57p Per share equates to around £877 million wiped off our value and not a dicky bird from the board, mmm surely they could or even should say something to calm this free fall.
Best of luck to all.
The capacity expansion at our new Newport, South Wales, UK, facility is proceeding according to plan. The first five reactors, which will be qualified for Photonics, are now installed and are at various stages of acceptance testing, commissioning and qualification. Initial results on quality and reactor performance remains very encouraging. A further five reactors will be delivered in H2, with acceptance testing, commissioning and qualification expected to commence immediately after delivery. Phase one of the build out at the Newport facility will provide 20 fully serviced reactor bays, which are expected to be fully operational during H1 2019. Further reactors are planned to be installed through the remainder of 2019.
The Group continues to trade in line with current market expectations; the previous guidance provided in the June AGM statement for a 40:60 H1:H2 2018 revenue split remaining unchanged, accompanied by a shift back from Wireless to Photonics, which has already commenced during June 2018.
Notice of Results
The Group now expects to report its half-year results for 2018 on 29thAugust 2018, having decided to bring forward this date from the previously announced 5thSeptember, due to a number of conflicting events.
Dr Drew Nelson, Chief Executive of IQE, said:
“Our highly successful H2 2017 ramp of 6 inch VCSEL production for a major customer has established IQE as the go-to materials solution provider for this technology. It is widely recognised that with more than 25 years’ experience of working with VCSELs and a clear, visible, commitment to world leading manufacturing capacity on two continents, we are and will remain the premier preferred manufacturer of these materials. H1 2018 has seen a very significant increase in the number and extent of our engagements with VCSEL chip customers. We are now engaged with over 20 VCSEL chip manufacturers in Asia, North America and Europe on qualifications for mobile, sensing, automotive and datacom applications. We are already fully qualified and in mass production with six of these companies and in final qualification stages with an additional six more. Furthermore, as detailed in our announcement of 9 July 2018, we reached a production milestone for our NIL technology which demonstrates our ability to bring to market some of the leading materials solutions that we have been showcasing and sampling to our customers. We have significant engagements for our other core technologies, including GaN on Silicon, cREO and QPC, and these are proceeding as planned. The H2 2018 ramp for Photonics has already started and we look forward to the rest of 2018 and in particular the further ramp up which is expected in 2019, with considerable anticipation.”
