AKTS is poised to enter a $1.6 billion market that is growing at a rapid pace. It will likely be uplisting in the near future (June time frame) and has very seasoned and experience management who founded multi-billion dollar company RF Micro Devices that merged with TriQuint to become Qorvo. There has been a slew of good news for the company that has pushed the stock up 30% since the beginning of the month on increasingly large volume. This stock is lightly traded with roughly 25,000 traded on a daily basis. The stock is currently trading around $1.90.

Over 300,000 common stock shares were sold at a price of $1.60. The round was led by Akoustis Co-Chairman Jerry Neal, CEO Jeff Shealy, Director Jeff McMahon and included investments by other Directors and Akoustis Senior Management. This should be bullish for investors as it signals that executive management and the board are bullish on the company’s product offering and that it can become a disruptive player in the he fast growing billion dollar high-band RF BAW filter industry.

The proceeds of the offering principally to support operations and the continued development and qualification of its single crystal piezoelectric materials, resonators and filter devices related to its Bulk ONE™ acoustic wave RF filter technology.

Both board members were previously employed by RF Micro Devices. One was a Co-Founder at RF Micro Devices and the other a former RF Micro Devices VP of Operations. This is another bullish sign as these are two heavy hitters in the industry. RF Micro Devices was a $2 billion company.
