Wow tu today was always going to be bad news. From 60p to 33p. Usual IQE rising on hype and diving on reality.

No you can't work out who sold to Lombard from these figures. Does give a general idea what the major shareholders have been up to.

Invesco 142,305,599 17.68
Lombard Odier Investment Managers 81,452,878 10.12
T Rowe Price Global Investments 79,122,144 9.83
Canaccord Genuity Wealth Management 71,716,260 8.91
Hargreaves Lansdown, stockbrokers 50,306,277 6.25
Dr Andrew Nelson* 40,567,234 5.04
Interactive Investor 39,846,273 4.95

The big changes are that M and G Investment have gone below 3%.
Hargreaves Lansdown, stockbrokers down from 57,253,736 to 50,306,277
Lombards up from 44,083,601 to 81,452,878
Interactive up about 2m.
Cannaccord up about 1m.
TRP down 0.5M.

Of course many investors below 3% Lombard could of bought from.

Shorts back to 0.6%. JP Morgan back to 0.6%. pumping and dumping before and after TU.

Well we have no way knowing what shorts there maybe below 0.5% mark. At peak it was thought 20% of shares were shorted. We know J P Morgan still have 0.46% as of 13th. Who knows about rest. I think quite a few were hiding just under 0.5%. it's possible many of those that did dip below 0.5% have now cleared. It would explain huge jump in share recently before TU.

Shorts now showing none above 0.5%. last reduction was on 13th. JP Morgan from 0.58 to 0.46%. Which goes in hand with theory shorts closing before trading update. Maybe the price climb forced some out. That or a lot of shorts closed.

Not posted much lately. Focused on other things. Must admit I was watching this last 2 weeks wondering why it had gone up to 60p. I wondered what the market knew? Of course still quite a few shorters hidden away. So you never quite know what is really happening. This could still take off if they get all their big orders. I wonder how inflation has hit their costs this year? To break even they need around 173m revenue at least?Maybe 40-45p could offer value? Maybe better to see where share bottoms out next week or so.

Actual Experience - looks like they took a loss on this share. Was worth 75p a share now 2-3p. So 7m stake to virtually 400k.

Is this an existing client or new one?

Just follow Oxford Nanopore share price and this is going same way. Since June Oxford Nanopore down from 338p to 238p. Down 30%. It was almost 700p 12 months back. How much of a loss is this for IPO? A further 100m loss on their books since May 31st. So what is fair value here?

It shifted up as over 15m trades yesterday with one a likely 11m sell? So 32.5p seems to be floor for now.

Stick to the IQE rules. Sell at peaks. Buy at lows. Don't believe any hype. I meant shorters below. Maybe 33 a good floor. Major shareholders will wait before adding more.

Still feels like shooters forcing this lower. Where is floor? 30p. Loss making share so harder to value.

Price is falling as shorters are in control of the share price. Expect a big late trade today? Had a couple of these. 2m and 1M in last week.

The results could show costs rising whilst they are just meeting target. Cost of living crisis forcing people to make choices between iphones, food and heating. I really doubt 50's without some major news in the results. More likely to hit 30p vs 50p at present. Meanwhile shorters forcing share lower here. The rise to 45p had no real news to it and was most likely due to short positions closing. The peaks and price changed matched a 4m position cleared in US and Spread Ex going below 3%. Right now share price is meaningless here.

Is 35p better value to buy in? Maybe but at present share is falling on a daily basis. Risky time to buy. NAV is 29p and were not there yet.

Interestingly this short site suggests the shorts dropped on 29/07/2022 by 3.976m shares. Which is just about when this share peaked at 44-45p. I wonder how much all these rises were due to shorts? Also unclear how long it takes this site to update as this was over 9-10 days ago. Pretty sure it updated in last 24-48 hours.

From 28p-45p is 50% rise from the low a few months ago. This is my main issue with IQE. So many market forces actively gambling on SP and manipulating the share price. Of course when this does turnaround all the shorts clearing will force the SP much higher.

The TU had no real shocks. News that a company had apparently been using their technology would not of shifted the price here. Spreadex reducing would of helped force SP up. The same will be true for the results in September. Of course how much more data will they really have come September? We'll have a better idea of where the revenue is split and an insight into where any growth is. 5G update too no doubt.

This could continue to drift a bit. Happy to watch for now but i think share is heavily manipulated at present by shorters.

Went up to 44p on no real news. Purely based on future prospects and the idea that they will turn this around. Maybe a fund increasing stake.

Someone increased their short position by 2.578m shares 2-3 weeks ago. If Taiwan was invaded that would be a big issue for IQE as IQE have most of their production there. Would China really attack Taiwan? I doubt it as it would bring sanctions from the west and many firms would ditch China. You would think China will have watched Ukraine and learned what not to do?

See what happens at the results. Expecting 3.5-4m losses. Pends on one off too? All expected anyway so unlikely to move SP lower.

Lot of yesterday's gain was Wellington Management reducing short below 0.5%. Most trades here seem to be short related. So many hiding below 0.5%.

Does seen to be good upward pressure here. Still won't change likely 7-8m loss this year. I think that is already written into the forecasts.

So hitting target for year. Least revenue has not fallen.

Trading update in July once they work out revenue from H1. My guess is mid July.

Video from AGM is on investors page.

Sounded more like an advert to me. Guess carbon neutral is important. Needs to make us money. Should be a lot more electric cars on road soon.
