Infineon said on Wednesday it expects revenue for the fiscal fourth quarter
ended September of about €4.7 bln (US$5.4 bln), versus analysts' average
forecast of €4.6 bln, driven by stronger demand and higher pricing for
data-center chips. CEO Jochen Hanebeck said demand for power solutions serving
AI data centers remains robust and will continue to be the company’s primary
growth driver. The upbeat guidance could ease concerns about the sustainability
of the AI spending surge and competitive pressure. Investors have recently sold
off chip names despite rivals Texas Instruments, STMicroelectronics and NXP
Semiconductors raising profit forecasts; Infineon shares are up 69%
year-to-date.
