Bernstein analysts expect the wafer fab equipment market to remain “flat-ish” next year after an estimated 10% growth on the back of continued demand from China in 2024. Still, the investment firm likes two European semiconductor stocks: BE Semiconductor Industries NV and Infineon Technologies AG for the coming year.
Despite the sharp drop in share price since February 2024, BESIY's fundamentals are still intact. The company is a market leader, and has excellent financials and attractive growth prospects. The dividend yield is currently 1.7%, but the high dividend growth could make it an interesting long-term investment case.
