BERLIN: German chipmaker Infineon Technologies is planning a 50% hike in investments next year, boosting its shares as it looks to benefit from soaring demand and a global shortage in semiconductors.
In a release issued ahead of an investor day, Infineon said on Tuesday it would invest around 2.4 billion euros ($2.8 billion) in 2022, up from about 1.6 billion euros this year.
