The decline over the past weeks has brought the price of Infineon Technologies shares back to an important technical support level at 16.14 EUR. This represents an opportunity to take advantage of these prices levels.
Summary
● The company has strong fundamentals. More than 70% of listed companies have a lower mix of growth, profitability, debt and visibility criteria.
Strengths
● The share is getting closer to its long-term support in weekly data, at EUR 16.14, which offers good timing for buyers.
● The close medium term support offers good timing for purchasing the stock.
● Margins returned by the company are among the highest on the stock exchange list. Its core activity clears big profits.
● Thanks to a sound financial situation, the firm has significant leeway for investment.
● The difference between current prices and the average target price is rather important and implies a significant appreciation potential for the stock.
Weaknesses
● The sales outlook for the group was lowered in the last twelve months. This change in forecast points out a decline in activity as well as pessimistic analyses of the company.
● For the last four months, earnings estimated by analysts have been revised downwards with respect to the next two years.
● For the last 12 months, analysts have been regularly downgrading their EPS expectations. Analysts predict worse results for the company against their predictions a year ago.
