Melexis Navigating the Impact of Trump's Tariffs and his U-turn

We have updated our model to assess the impact of Trump's tariffs and his U-turn of yesterday. Consequently, we are lowering our Target Price to €70 (previously €76) while maintaining our Buy-rating. Please note that Melexis remains part of the KBC Securities' Dynamic Top Pick List, and we continue to hold a positive outlook.

Although Melexis' direct sales to the US account for approximately half of the 9% of FY24 NALA sales, the other half is attributed to clients in Canada and Mexico, with the US being their primary end market. Additionally, Tier 1 clients located in Asia (60% of Melexis' sales) and Europe (31% of sales) also ship their components, which include Melexis chips, partly to the US. This market represents 18% of the worldwide total light vehicle volume sales.
