Infineon Technologies AG is a global leader in semiconductor solutions, particularly known for its innovations in power systems and IoT, aimed at driving decarbonization and digitalization in various industries. In its latest earnings report for the fiscal year 2024, Infineon announced a revenue of €14.955 billion, representing an 8% decrease from the previous year, with a Segment Result of €3.105 billion and a Segment Result Margin of 20.8%. The company also maintained its dividend at €0.35 per share despite the decline in overall business performance.
The fourth quarter of FY 2024 saw Infineon earning €3.919 billion in revenue, marking a 6% increase from the previous quarter. However, compared to the same quarter last year, revenue decreased by 6%. The automotive segment saw a slight revenue increase, driven by demand for electric vehicle components, while the Power & Sensor Systems segment experienced a notable 15% revenue boost due to AI-related demand. Conversely, the overall profitability was impacted by a significant loss from discontinued operations related to the Qimonda settlement.
Looking forward, Infineon anticipates a challenging year ahead with a muted business trajectory. The company expects a slight revenue decline in FY 2025, with a focus on strategic investments amounting to approximately €2.5 billion, particularly in smart power technologies and semiconductor production capabilities. Despite the weak market environment, Infineon remains committed to strengthening its competitive position through its structural “Step Up” program and capitalizing on long-term growth drivers.
Infineon’s management maintains a cautious outlook for FY 2025, projecting a slight revenue decline compared to FY 2024, with an emphasis on maintaining an adjusted gross margin around 40% and a Segment Result Margin in the mid-to-high teens. The company is preparing to navigate the current inventory corrections and delayed cyclical recovery, with a strategic focus on innovation and structural growth opportunities to position itself favorably for future market rebounds.
