Harry P - The drop was due in large measure to the Apple decision to drop Portalplayer with a a feared knock-on to WLF.
In today's presentation, it was made clear that there would be no knock-on effect and the sp bounded 25p within minutes.
It looks like a few traders may have got caught in the updraught which could yet have some way to go as the results (at top end of expectations) are assimilated.

looks like momentum could soon take us back up to 500p. Needless to say the next 6months are set to be very interesting.

hlyeo98 - 20 Oct 2006 10:55 - 356 of 407

Not too interesting for me, tau. Disastrous!!!

robinhood - 20 Oct 2006 12:15 - 357 of 407

do not hold this share but have in the past- what is going on????????

hlyeo98 - 20 Oct 2006 12:46 - 358 of 407

Downgrades in profits. Time to get out before it goes lower

robinhood - 20 Oct 2006 13:12 - 359 of 407

hear what you say, but with current orderbook it looks grossly overdone. anyway against my principles back into this one at 296

hlyeo98 - 20 Oct 2006 13:25 - 360 of 407

You're a brave one, robin hood

robinhood - 20 Oct 2006 14:04 - 361 of 407

no not brave- stupid-got stopped out at 286 already so just pissed 175 away

hlyeo98 - 24 Oct 2006 13:44 - 362 of 407

You did the right thing to sell...it's 269p now

hlyeo98 - 24 Oct 2006 13:45 - 363 of 407

From 510p to 269p within 5 weeks.

700202 - 30 Oct 2006 11:07 - 364 of 407

i thought a bullish article in the TIMES sunday by grant ringshaw makes this a buy at this price, i personally think this drop is overdone.i am holding 20k @292p

hlyeo98 - 08 Nov 2006 09:45 - 365 of 407

When Grant Ringshaw says BUY, he means SELL!

hlyeo98 - 20 Dec 2006 13:12 - 366 of 407

Good to see I'm right...HUGE selling today...now 270p.

tau - 11 Jan 2007 14:42 - 367 of 407

up today on yesterday's speculation that wlf chips are central to the Apple 'iphone'. Potential to increase earnings in 2007 as iphone rolled out over the summer in the US and Q4 in Europe. I think this may be a good chance to get back into wlf for sp recovery and growth as it is 'highy probable' that its chips are integrated in a product that Steve Jobs is branding as 'revolutionary'. Results to 31st December 2006 due on 31st January- any views?

Wolfson Microelectronics disappoints
MoneyAM
Semiconductor firm Wolfson Microelectronics saw its pretax profits rise to $44.6m in 2006 from $38.7m in 2005.

The group's annual revenues increased by 26% to $204.1m compared to $166.6m last time. Wolfson said its earning per share for the year stood at 26.66 cents compared to 24.95 cents the previous year.

David Milne, the group's CEO, said: 'In spite of challenging market conditions in Q4, we are pleased to report another year of strong growth in 2006 as the company's high performance products gain share in new and existing markets.

'For the year as a whole, we are well positioned to benefit from our expanding product portfolio and a strong design win position, particularly in portable devices. As a result, the company looks forward to delivering further growth in 2007,' he added.

The company expects to achieve first quarter 2007 revenues in the range of $37m to $42m and the gross margin is anticipated to remain at around 52%.

Bridgewell's Dan Risdale anticipates bringing his FY revenues forecast down to the $230m level from $244m with EPS moving back to 34 cents from 37 cents. This, he says, would imply a P/E of 17 times, only a slight discount to its global peer group.

The analyst is placing his recommendation under review pending the results briefing.

I can confirm that Apple's iPhone contains Wolfson audio chips, part numbers WM8758BG and 73AFMN5.

3rd quarter results due at the end of the month.

Some positive action today.

Definately one to keep an eye on for the next 10 days.

gibby - 27 Mar 2008 11:21 - 373 of 407
