FRANKFURT (dpa-AFX Broker) - In the weak overall market, the shares of wafer manufacturer Siltronic put a positive exclamation mark on Wednesday. In the small cap index SDax, they secured first place with a recent plus of 1.1 percent.

An upgrade by Exane BNP Paribas from "Neutral" to "Outperform" proved to be a call. The bank's analysts also raised their price target from 74 to 98 euros. Measured against the current price, the shares still have more than eleven percent upside./ajx/mis
