The semiconductor giant reports a significant drop in profits and anticipates continued challenges due to sluggish market conditions.

  • Infineon reported a quarterly loss of 84 million euros, influenced by a legal settlement related to its former memory business, Qimonda.
  • The company's annual revenue fell by over 1.3 billion euros, ending at nearly 15 billion euros for the fiscal year.
  • CEO Jochen Hanebeck highlighted weak demand across most sectors, with artificial intelligence being the only exception showing growth potential.
  • Despite the financial setbacks, Infineon plans to maintain its dividend at 35 cents per share.
  • The legal dispute with Qimonda's insolvency administrator, which began in 2010, concluded with a settlement costing Infineon over 400 million euros.
