Original post text
Very bullish on $IQE. $MTSI £45M investment cleans up balance sheet + de-risks operations. Repay debt + fund core capex.
🐂 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
Break Conditions
- Price closes below SMA200 (17.4) on weekly timeframe
- Revenue growth turns negative for 2+ consecutive quarters
