Cross-Asset: Infineon Equity +4% On Seemingly No News; Credit Spreads Unchanged

TECHNOLOGY


  • Infineon’s equity is the best performing DAX constituent and the third best performing equity amongst €IG issuers sitting 4% higher DoD against a marginally lower move in the broader SXXP.
  • EUR spreads are flat DoD and have traded in a tight range against peers since the start of March after the rally on their S&P upgrade to BBB+ ran out of steam.
  • We like the credit but don’t see many positive catalysts on the horizon – S&P are looking for a 40% EBITDA margin to upgrade while stating they see a margin around or slightly above 30% over the coming years. Given weak Q1 results and downward revisions to FY24 guidance, we don’t see much scope for outperformance over the MT. Q2 results 07 May.
