Apple supplier IQE sees annual revenue within market view
British semiconductor company IQE expects its revenue for the fiscal year 2025 to align with market expectations, the company said on Tuesday, adding that it was focusing on the potential sale of its Taiwan operations.
"Global markets are being impacted by macroeconomic uncertainty and as a result, some end customer demand is being fulfilled with existing inventory," the company said.
This was visible in the first quarter, but is expected to be corrected in the second half of the year, it added.
IQE, a supplier of compound semiconductor wafer products used in iPhone's facial recognition sensors, said there is currently no direct impact to the company from the U.S. tariffs.
The company, which confirmed Jutta Meier as CEO on Tuesday, is expected to report revenue between 115.1 million pounds ($151.9 million) to 123 million pounds in the current fiscal year to March 2026, according to a company-provided consensus.
It reported 118 million pounds in revenue for the year ended March 31, 2025.

European game generated 38 billion euros in 2023-24 season, study shows
Europe's soccer market grew by 8 per cent in terms of revenue in the 2023-24 season to 38 billion euros ($43.46 billion) with England's Premier League generating the most, Deloitte said in a study published on Wednesday. In its Annual Review of Football Finance, Deloitte said the top five leagues - Premier League, Bundesliga, LaLiga, Serie A and Ligue 1 - generated 20.4 billion euros in revenue, an increase of 4 per cent. Premier League clubs had the highest revenue of Europe's top leagues at 6.3 billion pounds ($8.50 billion). However, the traditional 'big six' clubs in England's top flight reported lower average revenue growth (3 per cent) than other clubs that were in the Premier League in both the 2023-24 and 2022-23 seasons (11 per cent). The study said the growth was largely driven by expansion of clubs' commercial offerings, which also led to the teams cumulatively generating more than two billion pounds in commercial revenue for the first time. "A focus on stadia development and diversification of commercial revenues led to growth across the European football market in the 2023-24 season," Tim Bridge, lead partner in Deloitte's Sports Business Group, said. "However, clubs and leagues cannot afford to take their eye off the ball as new challenges, including an evolving regulatory landscape and changing fan behaviours, arise. "The pressure is mounting for more clubs to drive additional revenue at the same time as managing rising costs. "More so than ever, leaders and owners must recognise the great responsibility they have of managing these businesses, capturing the historic essence of a football club while honouring its unrivalled role as a community asset for generations to come." Clubs in Europe's 'big five' leagues reported an aggregate operating profit (0.6 billion euros) for a second successive season, while the aggregate wages/revenue ratio fell from 66 per cent to 64 per cent. WSL REVENUE SOARS Clubs in England's Women's Super League (WSL) jointly generated revenue of 65 million pounds in the 2023-24 season, a 34 per cent rise. Each WSL club had a double-digit increase in revenue, while all 12 clubs reported over one million pounds in revenue for the first time, with an average revenue of 5.4 million pounds. "Through developing more robust fan engagement strategies, strong commercial deals and securing central distributions, WSL clubs unlocked a new phase of growth," Deloitte Sports Business group's knowledge and insights lead Jennifer Haskel said. "Plus, as the reporting and attribution of commercial revenue remains inconsistent between clubs, we may be scratching the surface on the value now being generated by the women's game."

U.S. and China strike controversial pact to loosen export curbs
LONDON: In a cautious move to defuse an oppressive trade conflict, U.S. and Chinese bureaucrats have consented to an agenda that would alleviate major export restrictions and resuscitate delayed tariff truce consultations. While the move infuses new impetus into tense negotiations, entrenched differences still prevail that could imperil continuing stability. London talks yield framework deal, but no final resolution yet According to the latest Reuters report, after two days of deal-breaking discussions in London, U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick established a provisional trade framework with Chinese representatives to resuscitate the delicate Geneva ceasefire decided in May. The framework intends to roll back reciprocal export restrictions, principally China's limits on rare earth deliveries, and lays the groundwork for easing U.S. controls on semiconductor and aerospace exports. 'We have reached a framework to implement the Geneva consensus and the call between the two presidents,' Lutnick said. Nevertheless, the two parties must seek consent and endorsement from President Trump and President Xi before anything can be done. Rare earths are at the core of the agreement A vital breakthrough entailed China's export restrictions on rare earth mineral deposits and magnets, significant gears in electric vehicles, and defence technologies. China's near-domination of these resources had flustered supply chains since April. In response, the U.S. will likely ease certain punitive measures; however, specifics remain classified. 'Expect a balanced rollback,' Lutnick noted, signifying U.S. export limitations tied to rare earth supply distractions will be overturned as part of the arrangement. Markets are cautiously optimistic amid continued uncertainty Global markets responded with controlled optimism. Asia-Pacific shares somewhat increased, with MSCI's extensive index ticking up 0.57%, indicating relief, but also doubt. 'The devil will be in the details,' said Chris Weston of Pepperstone. 'Investors have seen this dance before, and until solid commitments are outlined, caution will prevail.' Notwithstanding the framework, the danger of a tariff revival remains. Lacking an all-inclusive agreement by Aug 10, tariffs could forcefully rebound, from 30% to 145% for U.S. imports from China, and up to 125% on the Chinese side. See also Mystery monkeypox outbreak sparked by sex raves in Europe Underlying issues still divide Washington and Beijing While the London dialogues revitalised optimism and confidence, fundamental disagreements remain unsettled. The Trump government's one-sided tariffs, U.S. accusations against China's state-led economy, and struggling export bans remain fueling tensions. 'The framework keeps Geneva from falling apart, but they're still far from a durable solution,' said Josh Lipsky of the Atlantic Council. 'They're back to square one—but that's better than square zero.' Further confounding the landscape is the current decision of the U.S. appeals court, which allows Trump's all-encompassing tariffs to remain in force, keeping pressure on Beijing. Temporarily, fresh data revealed a 34.5% reduction in Chinese exports to the U.S. in May, the sharpest drop since the early pandemic days, stressing the risks for both economies. With the clock ticking, all eyes now turn to Washington and Beijing for leadership-level pronouncements that could either strengthen or ruin the progress made.
