Semiconductor stocks under pressure: Infineon and Aixtron in the red
The shares of Infineon and Aixtron were subject to major fluctuations this Friday. Infineon recorded a loss of 2.4 percent, making it one of the weakest stocks in the DAX, while Aixtron was the second weakest stock in the MDAX with a decline of 4.6 percent. This development was influenced by a cautious outlook from the world's largest chipmaker TSMC on global semiconductor demand.
TSMC predicted slower development in the semiconductor industry this year compared to previous forecasts given the current problems in the smartphone and laptop markets. This assessment weighed heavily on the shares of Infineon and Aixtron. Investors reacted sensitively to this information and expressed concern about the future development of the semiconductor sector.
The uncertainty regarding the global market situation and the impact on semiconductor companies led to a noticeable downturn on the stock markets. Infineon and Aixtron were particularly affected and suffered significant share price losses. It remains to be seen how the situation will develop and whether companies will take measures to counteract the negative impact on their share prices.
