Siltronic's stock jumps 4.15% despite bleak earnings forecast for 2025
Siltronic's stock rose by 4.15% today, closing at €52.70 despite weak financial forecasts. Investors are now awaiting the company's full-year results, due tomorrow at 7:00 AM. Analysts predict a steep drop in earnings and revenue for 2025.
The semiconductor wafer manufacturer is set to report a significant decline in performance. Earnings per share are expected to fall to a loss of €2.21, reversing last year's profit of €2.10. Revenue is also forecast to drop from €1.41 billion in 2024 to €1.34 billion in 2025. The fourth quarter alone is projected to show a loss of €1.55 per share.
Investors remain cautious but hopeful that management's outlook will hint at a recovery in wafer demand. While competitors like AIXTRON have shown stronger growth recently, Siltronic's stock still trades around 10% below its 52-week high of €58.80. However, it stays above its 100-day moving average of €50.30, suggesting some stability.
Technical indicators add to the mixed picture. The stock's relative strength index (RSI) of 23.7 signals it is oversold, which could trigger short-term rebounds. Yet, without clear signs of a turnaround in wafer demand, the market remains uncertain.
The company's detailed results and management's forecast for the second half of 2026 will be closely watched. Investors are looking for concrete signs of improvement in wafer demand. Until then, the stock's performance may stay volatile, balancing between oversold conditions and weak fundamentals.
