While the FTSE 100 has delivered solid gains in 2026, lots of UK-listed growth stocks have generated significantly higher returns. One such stock is MTI Wireless Edge (LSE: MWE), which currently trades for just 67p.<\/p>\n
Year to date, it\u2019s up over 40%, making the FTSE 100\u2019s gain of around 6% look quite underwhelming. So what\u2019s going on here? And is there an opportunity?<\/p>\n
MTI Wireless Edge is a small Israel-based company that designs and manufactures state-of-the-art antennas and has exposure to the defence industry. And right now, it has a lot of momentum from an operational perspective.<\/p>\n
For example, just last week, the company told investors that it had recently won around $6m worth of defence contracts. That\u2019s significant \u2013 we\u2019re talking about a company with a market-cap of just \u00a356m here.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, today (13 April) the company\u2019s put out another announcement highlighting that it\u2019s just won an additional defence contract. This is worth $2m and will involve supplying military antennas to a local defence company.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn the first two weeks of April, we have secured a series of significant defence-related orders with a combined value of approximately US$8m,\u201d said CEO Moni Borovitz. \u201cThis strong level of order intake is encouraging and reflects our internal forecasts of a step-up in demand for our range of defence related products,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
Is this stock worth considering as a growth investment? I think so \u2013 I see a nice combination of growth, value, income, and momentum here. The business seems to be on fire at present. That\u2019s always a plus from an investment perspective.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, despite a 40%+ share price gain in 2026, the valuation\u2019s still quite reasonable. With the consensus earnings forecast for FY2026 sitting at $5.80, the forward-looking price-to-earnings (P\/E) ratio\u2019s only about 15.<\/p>\n
As for income, the dividend forecast for this year is 3.6p per share. That translates to a yield of about 4%, which is decent.<\/p>\n
Of course, there are plenty of risks here. One is a slowdown in orders. Given the geopolitical backdrop, this company\u2019s in the right place at the right time. But things could change and orders could dry up.<\/p>\n
Another risk is in relation to trading liquidity. This is a very small company and liquidity can be thin with these types of stocks (meaning it may not be possible to sell shares at a good price). I should also point out that the share price is up almost 20% this month. After that kind of jump, we could see some profit taking.<\/p>\n
Overall though, I see quite a bit of potential in this name. It\u2019s higher up on the risk spectrum given that it\u2019s a penny stock, but I think it\u2019s worth a look.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Image source: Getty Images While the FTSE 100 has delivered solid gains in 2026, lots of UK-listed growth…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":389741,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[185710,114,185707,2970,110353,85,46,185709,185706,185708],"class_list":{"0":"post-389740","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-business","8":"tag-67p","9":"tag-business","10":"tag-defence-company","11":"tag-ftse-100","12":"tag-growth-stocks","13":"tag-il","14":"tag-israel","15":"tag-military-antennas","16":"tag-mti-wireless-edge","17":"tag-stock-worth"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/389740","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=389740"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/389740\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/389741"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=389740"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=389740"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=389740"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
