Citigroup analysts wrote in a report that Microchip Technology’s upward revision of its third-quarter earnings guidance is a positive sign for its European peers, Infineon and STMicroelectronics. The analysts noted that while semiconductor supply has declined in recent months, Microchip’s observation of above-average demand represents a clear positive for European semiconductor firms. The analysts added that semiconductor companies are poised for a rebound, with European firms potentially exceeding expectations for their latest quarterly revenue and improving their 2026 earnings outlook. As a result, Infineon’s stock rose 3.95%, while STMicroelectronics gained approximately 2.5% on both the Milan and Paris markets.
