感觉今年2月我对 $IQE 的论点连同 $AXTI 等一起得到了验证。(我目前仍持有两者的多头头寸) 所以我减少了对它们的覆盖。但简而言之,更新如下: 今年早些时候,当我发布关于它的论点时,IQE 是光学供应链中一个陷入困境但关键的瓶颈环节,与 $LITE 等公司有关联。 自那以来: - $MTSI 签署了长期外延晶圆供应协议,并入股该公司,现在 IQE 已无银行债务(Macom 有可转债,但这是积极的) - $TSEM 签署了磷化铟(InP)外延晶圆协议。 - 管理层明确表示,其与 IQE 的协议是为了确保“该路线图所需的战略性 III-V 族外延晶圆供应” - IQE 签署了另一份约1400万美元的神秘 AI 数据中心合同。 我早期论点中仍在展开的部分是 IQE 将其潜在/未充分利用的产能转向 AI 数据中心领域,以匹配该领域的同行如 Landmark(这需要时间,如果我没记错的话,略多于一年的时间)。 还有一些国家安全层面的含义,我将避免谈论,但这使它们更加重要。 但基本上: 2025财年营收:9730万英镑 2026财年指引:超过1.265亿英镑 它们在光学领域再次快速增长,摆脱了银行债务/困境清算状态,并仍然是西方光学供应链中的关键瓶颈。 现在……随着与领先光子学公司的新协议带来营收增长,以及像 Macom 这样的玩家充当软性后盾。 通常在论点得到验证后,我只是坐享企业的增长。

英文原文

Feels like my $IQE thesis Feb this year got validated alongside $AXTI and others. (I still long on both) So I stopped covering them as much. But TLDR on updates: Early this year, IQE was a distressed but critical chokepoint in the optical supply chain with links to $LITE and others when I published my thesis on it. Since then: - $MTSI signed long term epiwafer supply agreements, took a stake in the company, now IQE is bank debt free (Macom has convertibles, but that's positive) - $TSEM signed agreements for InP epiwafers. - Management explicitly said its IQE agreement was signed to secure the "strategic III-V epiwafer supply required for that roadmap" - IQE signed another ~$14M mysterious AI DC contract. The only part that's still playing out with my earlier thesis is IQE converting their latent/underutilized capacity toward AI DC segment, to match peers like Landmark in the space (which takes time, like slightly over a year if I remember correctly). There's some national security implications that I'll avoid talking about that makes them more important. But basically: FY2025 revenue: £97.3m FY2026 guidance: over £126.5m They're rapidly growing again in the optical sector, out of bank debt/distressed liquidation state, and remains a critical chokepoint in Western optical supply chains. Now... with new agreements with your leading photonics companies for revenue growth, and players like Macom serving as a soft backstop. After a thesis gets validated, typically I just sit back and enjoy growth of a business.
