Still bullish $IQE btw: £81M fundraising is now complete + all fundraising shares were admitted on 1 June. So 332M new shares, taking share count: 980M -> 1,312M. Around 80% of that is strategic/insider: $MTSI (152M shares) + noteholders (115M shares). That leaves just 65M https://t.co/j4NKmMtoQQ

🐂 Bull Case
  • Revenue growth (0.001) accelerates on AI/optical demand — PT +20-30%
  • Price above SMA50 (42.9), Weinstein stage 2 — momentum intact
  • Institutional inflows + sector rotation favors AI supply chain names
🐻 Bear Case
  • RSI 49.8 — overbought risk, near-term pullback possible
  • PE (-109.66667) elevated; any guide-down triggers de-risking
  • Gross margin (0.0139) compression risk if competitive pressure rises
🚫 Invalidation

Close below SMA200 (17.4) on above-average volume
