What happened
Infineon (IFX.DE) stock rose about 6% to €51.48 on Tuesday after the chipmaker raised its 2027 data center sales goal to near €4B from €2.5B, citing strong AI power demand. The company makes power chips for AI data centers. It also expects about €20B in total sales in 2027, over 20% more than the €16.35B it just reported. It expects its profit margin, the share of sales kept as profit, to rise about five points. Europe's Stoxx 600 index also rose to within 1% of its August record, helped by cheaper oil.
Why it matters
Infineon's new target shows AI data centers still need far more power chips than it had planned for. Those chips manage electricity inside the servers that run AI, so rising orders point to continued spending on AI buildout. The news also helped lift other European chip stocks.
