Melexis Managing the present and preparing the future

We updated our model (€ 70 Target Price and Buy rating reiterated) after 1Q25 sales were in line with expectations. Amid more volatile market conditions, Melexis remain fully focused on the things within its control, managing the present and preparing the future. Melexis 1H25 outlook is in line with expectations in spite of the recent weakening of the USD. Melexis expect that they will progressively convert the increased number of new products and design wins into sales.
Due to the ongoing inventory correction, automotive and industrial chip companies like Melexis are currently under-shipping relative to their end-demand levels. This has led to temporarily depressed sales and gross margins. However, we expect their earnings to rebound into 2H25E and FY26E.

We also welcome to see Melexis' increased focus on China with China's growing importance.
