I recommend a buy rating for Infineon due to clear signs of growth recovery, expected to accelerate in FY26. IFNNY's recent performance aligns with expectations, showing sequential growth across all segments and a positive outlook for FY25 and FY26. The inventory reduction in 1Q25 is a strategic move to normalize levels, setting the stage for future growth.

Conclusion of insolvency proceedings possible in 2025 with substantial dividend for the creditors MUNICH, GERMANY / ACCESSWIRE / August 22, 2024 / Following lengthy and difficult negotiations, the insolvency administrator for Qimonda, Dr Michael Jaffé, and Infineon Technologies AG have reached final agreement in the action relating to undervalue and liability for impairment of capital, which had been pending at the Munich Regional Court at first instance since 2010. Qimonda AG emerged from Infineon Technologies AG in 2006 after Infineon Technologies had transferred its memory chip division to Qimonda at the time.
Infineon is undervalued based on both sentiment and discounted earnings, presenting a Strong Buy with a potential 37.5% return in 12 months. Despite a challenging market and higher inventory, IFNNY's Q3 revenue rose 2%, and strong demand in automotive and renewable energy segments bolsters future growth. Geopolitical tensions and rapid industry innovation pose risks, but significant growth catalysts in SiC production and AI power business drive bullish sentiment for FY 25 and 26.
I continue to recommend a buy rating for IFNNY due to expected growth. IFNNY showed signs of recovery in 3Q24, with sequential growth and positive guidance for 4Q24. The upside case remains attractive even after adjusting growth estimates downward.
