Melexis reported a mixed 2Q25 update with the early signs of a market recovery but at the same time disappointing gross margins. We believe that automotive semiconductors will recover further from current lows, but we also expect ongoing uncertainty and low visibility given the major ongoing changes in the auto sector and tariff discussions We reiterate our HOLD rating but increase our target price from €60 to €70 per share given the early signs of an uptrend.

We reiterate our BUY rating but slightly lower our target price from €825 to €800 per share.
X-Fab presented a solid set of 2Q25 results and expect this positive trend to continue in 2H25. We saw an above-average order intake for X-Fab's microsystems business. With the completion of its CapEx program, X-Fab claims it is ideally positioned to grow profitably together with its customers (mainly Melexis).
