Shares in Infineon Technologies jumped Wednesday after the
German chip maker beat expectations in its fourth quarter and gave
2024 guidance seen as positive amid a gloomy market.
At 0924 GMT, shares in Infineon were up 7.1% at EUR32.80.
Infineon's fiscal fourth-quarter net profit reached 753 million
euros ($819.2 million) compared with EUR735 million in the fourth
quarter of last year. Analysts had expected net profit of EUR674.8
million, according to FactSet.
The company said it is targeting a slightly lower segment-result
margin--a key profitability metric for Infineon--in 2024 of around
24%. But its revenue forecast for fiscal 2024 is around EUR17
billion after finishing its 2023 fiscal year at EUR16.31
billion.
"We believe FY24 revenue guidance of 4% growth [year-over-year]
with resilient gross margin suggests a strong performance vs peers
and therefore confirms our thesis that Infineon has a strong
portfolio to outperform in this downcycle," UBS analysts said in a
note.
Infineon also increased its dividend to EUR0.35 per share, up
from EUR0.32.
