BERLIN: German chipmaker Infineon Technologies<\/a> said on Tuesday it plans a 50% hike in investments next year, boosting its shares as it looks to benefit from soaring demand and a global shortage in semiconductors.
Infineon<\/a> said it would invest around 2.4 billion euros ($2.8 billion) in 2022, up from about 1.6 billion euros this year.
\"We are initially investing in existing plants,\" finance chief Sven Schneider told Reuters. He said Infineon was considering whether it needed to add more capacity, but added it was too early to decide on that yet.
The leading supplier of chips to the auto industry forecast revenue would grow by a mid-teens percentage next year, with a segment result margin - a measure of operational profitability - of around 20%, up from a 2021 target for 18%.
\"The main part of the sales growth will come from capacity building, but also a decent part from higher prices, some of which we will pass on to customers,\" Schneider said.
Infineon shares were up 3% at 1317 GMT.
The company has blamed a lack of investment in new capacity by its manufacturing partners for tightness in semiconductor markets as demand rebounded after coronavirus lockdowns, disrupting chip supplies especially in the car industry.
Contract chipmakers have invested chiefly in production of higher-margin processors used in devices<\/a> like smartphones, leaving existing plants unable to meet demand for the older chips used in cars.
Infineon opened a 1.6 billion euro plant in Austria last month, boosting its ability to supply power chips for cars, data centres and renewable power.
The Munich-based firm could decide to build another factory soon, assuming the rapid adoption of electric vehicles continues to take up capacity in its existing plants, Stifel analyst Juergen Wagner predicted.
Schneider said he expected the shortage of chips to drag on well in to 2022, welcoming European efforts to increase semiconductor production capacity.
Infineon confirmed guidance for 2021 revenues of 11 billion euros.
The company has itself faced problems meeting delivery commitments after a winter storm knocked out a plant in the United States and lockdowns disrupted operations in Malaysia.

柏林:德国芯片制造商英飞凌科技周二表示,该公司计划明年增加50%的投资,提高其股票看起来受益于需求飙升和全球半导体的短缺。
英飞凌表示,将投资约24亿欧元(28亿美元)在2022年,从今年约16亿欧元。
“我们最初投资现有工厂,”首席财务官斯文施耐德告诉路透。他说英飞凌正在考虑是否需要添加更多的能力,但它决定还为时过早。
芯片的主要供应商,汽车行业预测收入将增长到明年左右比例,与一段结果保证金——衡量运营盈利能力的20%左右,高于2021年18%的目标。
”的主要部分的销售增长将来自能力建设,而且还一个像样的一部分从更高的价格,其中一些我们将转嫁给消费者,”施奈德说。
1317 GMT英飞凌股价上涨了3%。
公司指责缺乏投资新产能的制造伙伴闷在半导体市场需求反弹后冠状病毒锁定,扰乱了芯片供应特别是在汽车行业。
合同芯片制造商投资主要是在生产中使用的利润率更高的处理器设备像智能手机一样,离开现有工厂无法满足需求的旧芯片使用汽车。
英飞凌上个月开了16亿欧元的植物在奥地利,提高汽车供电芯片的能力,数据中心和可再生能源。
这家总部位于慕尼黑的公司可能很快决定建一个工厂,如果电动汽车的快速采用现有工厂继续占用容量,Stifel分析师Juergen瓦格纳预测。
施耐德表示,他预期短缺的芯片拖,到2022年,欢迎欧洲努力增加半导体生产能力。
英飞凌证实指导2021年110亿欧元的收入。
公司本身面临问题会议后交付承诺冬季风暴摧毁了植物在美国和马来西亚封锁中断操作。
