German semiconductor manufacturer Infineon Technologies reported record quarterly revenue as growing investment in artificial intelligence infrastructure strengthened demand for its power-management chips.
Revenue reached €4.17 billion during the third quarter of its 2026 financial year, increasing 13% from €3.70 billion in the corresponding period last year. It was the highest quarterly revenue recorded in the company’s history.
Net profit increased 39% year over year to €423 million, while the company’s segment result rose 19% to €797 million. Its segment result margin improved to 19.1%, compared with 18% a year earlier.
Chief Executive Jochen Hanebeck said improving conditions across several target markets were supporting the company’s growth. Demand for power-supply solutions used in AI data centres remained the strongest contributor, while investment in electricity networks and recovering automotive orders also provided momentum.
AI Infrastructure Drives Chip Demand
Infineon’s Power & Sensor Systems division delivered the strongest growth during the quarter. Revenue in the unit increased 34% year over year to €1.44 billion, supported mainly by rising demand from servers and artificial intelligence data centres.
The division’s segment result climbed to €359 million from €197 million a year earlier, while its margin improved to 24.9%.
Infineon produces energy-efficient semiconductors that regulate and convert electricity inside servers. These components are becoming increasingly important as AI systems require larger data centres and significantly more computing power.
The automotive division, Infineon’s largest business segment, generated revenue of €1.93 billion. This represented annual growth of 3%, indicating a gradual recovery in vehicle-related chip demand.
Company Raises Full-Year Outlook
Infineon now expects fiscal 2026 revenue of approximately €16.3 billion, representing annual growth of around 11%. The company forecasts revenue of about €4.7 billion for the fourth quarter, with a segment result margin near 23%.
The chipmaker has also secured or is negotiating multiyear capacity agreements with leading AI customers carrying a combined revenue value in the high single-digit billions of euros.
Infineon’s expanding production capacity is expected to support the growth. In July, the company opened its €5 billion Smart Power Fab in Dresden several months ahead of schedule. The plant doubles Infineon’s manufacturing capacity at the site and is expected to create 1,000 direct jobs.
The results underline how accelerating investment in AI infrastructure is creating new growth opportunities for semiconductor manufacturers beyond traditional consumer electronics and automotive markets.
