Shares of Infineon AG (ETR: IFX) soared more than 4% today on the surging revenue. Still, the Germany-based tech reported an after-tax loss of €128 million in the third quarter. A year ago, Infineon earned €224 million.
A surge in revenue helped the firm to partially offset the pandemic-fueled quarterly loss. Infineon saw its revenue increase to €2.17 billion, higher than €2.02 billion the year prior.
“The pandemic continues to have a significant impact on our target markets, resulting in weaker demand in many product areas,” Chief Executive Reinhard Ploss said.
