Shares of Infineon Tech AG (ETR: IFX) soared nearly 4% after the company presented strong sales and revenue outlook amid a faster-than-expected rebound. The management is “cautiously optimistic” about the performance in the year ahead.
The German tech titan said it expects to generate 10.5 billion euros ($12.5 billion) from sales for its full fiscal year ending September 2021. This is 22.6% higher than in the previous fiscal year.
The result margin is expected to grow to 16.5% from 13.7% after the company reported its fiscal fourth-quarter revenue at 2.49 billion euros, up 15% compared to a year ago. A rebound in demand resulted in a higher margin of 15.2%, much better than 10.1% in the third quarter.
