Infineon Technologies AG - ADR (IFNNY)
Infineon Offers Great Value In Semiconductors
Infineon is expanding its manufacturing infrastructure with new modules in Malaysia, Germany, and Indonesia; this highlights its capital-intensive business model. IFNNY boasts the highest growth rates among its major competitors, but has relatively low free cash flow generation. However, its stronger balance sheet offers some relief to this issue. The Company is overvalued based on my DCF model but undervalued according to my DE model. This balances out to a fair valuation, supported by peer analysis and historical P/E ratios.
ON Semiconductor Is Fairly Valued Despite High Capital Intensity Challenges
ON Semiconductor leads in silicon carbide and analog/mixed-signal platforms, supporting autonomous driving. Major competitors include Infineon and Texas Instruments; I consider Infineon the best investment. ON's growth is competitive with Texas Instruments but slightly lags behind Infineon. The semiconductor industry is capital-intensive, leading to periods of weak free cash flow. Infineon has higher growth rates. ON is cheap compared to peers based on P/E GAAP ratios and performs well in my 20-year discounted earnings model. However, the DCF model shows a less promising valuation.
