X Fab Silicon Foundries EV Still in a sweet spot of the semiconductor market

We updated our X-Fab model after the FY23 results. As a result, we lower our Target Price from €12 to € 11. Nevertheless, we think investors were over-reacting as the shortfall in 4Q24 top-line was related to the demand for older 150mm CMOS technologies. Also their explanation for the shortfall in 4Q23 profitability made sense.

We maintain our Accumulate rating as X-Fab is still in the sweet spot of the semiconductor market and its expertise in specialty applications for the automotive, industrial and medical sector continues to get a lot of traction in the market. Their long-term agreements with customers has significantly increased the visibility of its business, providing a solid foundation for the major investment projects they have initiated.
