IQE is trading 5% down at £38.75 as the stock undergoes consolidation following a sharp 24% run-up driven by AI-related demand.
- The recent rally was fueled by a multi-year Indium Phosphide epiwafer supply agreement with Tower Semiconductor for AI data center connectivity.
- With no fresh company-specific news reported on July 10, 2026, the current decline appears to be a natural pullback as investors lock in profits after strong gains.
