Chips und Halbleiter: Gewinnsprung bei Infineon - Milliardengeschäft Datencenter

In the past fiscal year, semiconductor firm Infineon generated substantial profits, with a post-tax profit of 1.51 billion euros, marking a 49% increase compared to the previous year, according to the DAX-listed company. The sales surged to 16.4 billion euros, setting a new record, representing a 12% year-over-year increase. The growth was primarily driven by datacenters, which Infineon supplies with power semiconductor products.

The company generated 2.2 billion euros in revenue from data centers during the previous fiscal year, with 1.7 billion euros coming from AI data centers alone. The new fiscal year 2027 is projected to reach an even more impressive 4 billion euros in revenue from data centers. This growth aligns with expectations for the overall business, with the company aiming to increase its revenue by one-fifth in 2027.

Alongside the data centers, Infineon hopes that a general industry recovery and sales for software-driven cars and the expansion of energy infrastructure will contribute to the success. "Infineon closed the fiscal year 2026 with another record quarter," stated CEO Jochen Hanebeck, adding that they will now "start with sustained momentum in the new fiscal year."
