What happened
IQE plc reports continued weakness in wireless markets and soft mobile handset sales impacting H1 2025 results, with some demand being fulfilled from existing inventory. The firm also cites delays in US defense funding pushing orders into 2026. Bearish: The announcement of a strategic review including a potential sale, coupled with persistent demand softness and inventory digestion, signals ongoing pressure on IQE's product pricing and volumes.
