1m delayed trade at 2p for 15.56pm.. Buy or sell? LSE shows as buy. HL shows as mid trade. Marked as an ordinary delayed publication.

If it was a sell would explain the fall back to below 2p. Not sure what to read of this. The other afternoon sells match the times the share fell. All the 1m trades lately have been sells.

It's not on the Live RNS feed for IQE as it's not an RNS.

If it was an RNS it would say so and assign it an RNS number.
E.g RNS Number : 9708T.

This is where the issue lies. Also RNS tend to cost £500 or so. It would not make commercial sense to do an RNS for 1-2 holdings every day as this is shareholders money.

Still a seller about. Almost 500k of stock sold near end of play. I think buyer will be back tomorrow. Been buying daily so far.

Oh Marshall Wace increased it's short by 0.02% on 26th July. So much for clearing out.

LSE are right. I checked back on the trading update and it had no RNS number on it. Same for all these shareholding updates. Hence why they are not on the LSE site. They will only post actual RNS feeds. Albeit the update from 10th July appears to have no RNS number on it.

Buyer is pretty much buying all sold off stock. If you got in at 1.3p you could double your money here.

Looks like another 400k+ of buys today. 1.87 trades seem to be buys given last sell at 1.8.

Emailed LSE yesterday. They state they do not post GNW news sources. Only RNS. Hence why none of the updates have not appeared. Trading update not an RNS?

So this site is clearly logging many RNS. Just not all of them for IQE and other shares. HL has a similar issue I think.

I am informed ADVFN works. Nxechange work when a firm has a secondary market. Which IQE does on there.

No change in short positions over 0.5% in nearly a week now. Does not mean people below that level are not shorting shares.

Yes aware Apple have new products in pipeline or out there already. Still doesn't change point that IQE seemed to get stuck with stock from iphone 10.

Share up 2-3p today. So some good news. Will it stick is another matter.

Buy and sell trades on here are only indications. Seen a number of trades today elsewhere shown as sells that are actually buys. Can work both ways. In any case following trades here is meaningless as there are hundreds of tradesand most are manipulated by shorters.

Fast reaching 2p again. Another 400k+ delayed buy trade.

Reverse trades for the 1m sells. Most buys likely Hales Hargreaves. Big share issue coming if sec plough 2m in here. They may use 1m to buy shares. Assuming the cash is for Porta. Hoping for loan rate reduction too.

Yes time to move on for now. Eventually they will have to deal with that debt. Maybe selling on less profitable or struggling units. That being said with their profits they should be able to reduce debts long term.

Agree since they were at 37p they have progressed things here well and given good return for investors. Is this share the best ROI for new investors? Not so sure. If they continue to keeping growing revenue then things could get interesting. Cash is running out without share issues.

I think you meant T Rowe Price below. Is it T Rowe Price trying to loan out the shares or are shorters asking them to borrow the shares? Are T Rowe Price trying to increase share of IQE or merely hedging their bets here? The latest loan of shares showed no signs that they had been buying more stock. 15% is a large share for a 800m or so firm. Albeit pocket change for some funds. (Albeit they are doing RNS on a daily /weekly basis right now.)

The Motley article implies that IQE produced too many i phone X parts and was left with stock it had to clear? Hence the lower H1 performance than expected. So they really are at the hands of Apple in terms of production. If Apple suddenly decide to pull a product you could be left with stock. Albeit they suggest current price seems to offer some value.

Overall share is at a £1 because people expected the share to be further ahead at this point. There is no guarantee the pound will recover here. Even if TU had pushed share to £1.20 or £1.30 i think it would of quickly been shorted. Market/shorters are currently valuing this share at £1. The fact 1% of shares got loaned out on the TU is not a good a sign.

This may be a millionaire makers share but not in the short term. H1 results will reflect what we have already seen in the TU. At what points will the shorts start to clear? Only one reducing is Marshall Wace who got in at a much higher average price.

See what happens here. The downside form £1 seems low here. The firm is making money. Just not as much as some expected at this point?

No I don't day trade. Not really possible when at work. I have no positions here but I do hold opinions.

I am tempted but I am playing the waiting game here.

I agree with others here there seems to be a strong resistance above £1

RNS! T Rowe Price loaned out 1% of IQE on the day of the results. Hence the big fall on the 24th after the steep rise. Been no other short updates since then. Strange really. Guess some of the rise was down to market demand?

Hey comeonvog,

Thanks for the support. I suspect many on this board are very frustrated by the shorting. I bet there are many day traders here buying and selling on the weekly highs and lows.

I was reading elsewhere it takes about 9 months for the reactors to come online usually. They must be getting pretty close for production here.

I have a few friends invested here. One is very positive. Thinks 2019 will be the stand out year for this firm. Another cleared a lot of his stock at the peak. He had been invested for years. Both were invested around the 17p mark.

If you read Stockopedia view on the TU they talk about double digit growth if it was not for currency tailwind. Albeit 73m is below consensus.They suggest firm needs revenue of about 106m in H2 to meet it's targets this year. Profits this year to double to circa 33m. Also a lot of shareholder monies tied up in assets. 300m?

There is potential here. Albeit in short term shorters remain in control here. Question is how far can IQE increase production/revenue and profits. At present I think shorters are still increasing their positions overall. Albeit I think Marshal Wace will gradually clear out it's position here.

So far the shorters have failed to push this below 89p. So not too crazy to top up under a £1. There will be no real news till the results now.. That could be the end game for many shorters? If the business is really booming you would expect shorts to close quickly. See what happens. I will certainly keep watching this for now as it is an interesting share. It worries me they are still shorting in high 90's range.

@Bandit. Hardly smug. I have been saying the same thing for months. I post here regularly. Everyone has different opinions on shares.

Quite expected really. Share is being shorted and I doubt they were too worried about the update. They will short the share further on the results too. I have been questioning these continual buys on here for over a year now. Everyone just keeps on pouring money in.

Yes but some of those shorters got in way above this price. If you had been clever here you would of bought in before trading update then sold first thing. We knew the share would be shorted after the RNS. I think about 20% or so of shares are on loan here.

Proactive investor suggests :-
' Shares in Huntworth PLC (LON:HNT) sank 9.4% to 120p in late-afternoon trading after the medical communications group reported a net cash outflow despite profit and revenue increases in its interims.

The firm reported a pre-tax profit for the half-year of £10.3mln, up from £9.2mln in the same period last year while revenues climbed to £102.2mln from £94.2mln previously.

However, despite the increases the company recorded a net cash outflow of £1.7mln for the period, a reversal from a £6.4mln cash inflow in the prior year caused primarily by seasonal mixings and a change in the client mix.'

To be fair the share had risen 20-30% recently. I wonder if long term they will just focus on health stuff? More and more of their business is now US based. Has Huntsworth now peaked? See what happens.

So T Rowe Price have taken back 0.6% of shares today.
Goldman Sach have cleared 5% of their loaned shares yesterday. I wonder where these 5% of shares keep going? They have 0.54% of IQE shares now.

Wellington Mangaement increased on 20th to reach 0.64% of shares.

Fun and games!
