Infineon Technologies AG is reporting results for the fourth quarter and the full fiscal year, both of which ended on 30 September 2024.

“Infineon has managed the 2024 fiscal year well and concluded it in line with expectations,” says Jochen Hanebeck, CEO of Infineon. “Currently, there is hardly any growth momentum in our end markets except from AI, the cyclical recovery is being delayed. The inventory correction is continuing. Short-term ordering patterns and inventory digestion are clouding visibility on demand trends beyond the next couple of quarters. We are therefore preparing for a muted business trajectory in 2025. At the same time, we are relying on the consistent implementation of the structural measures in our “Step Up” program to strengthen our competitiveness. In combination with our innovative power, we are addressing our structural growth drivers and putting ourselves in the best position for a coming upturn.”
