0928 GMT - Infineon Technologies shares have already factored in the benefits from artificial intelligence and a recovering automotive industry that propelled semiconductor stocks to new highs, MWB Research's Abed Jarad writes in a note to clients. Jarad downgrades the German chip maker's stock to sell from hold. "Investor appetite for AI exposure and power-semiconductor beneficiaries has pushed valuations and multiples across the space materially higher, and Infineon has participated strongly in that re-rating," he says. Infineon stock has doubled since January. Jarad notes any slowdown in order momentum or AI capital expenditure expectations could weigh disproportionately on the shares. Infineon shares trade 1.6% lower at 75.51 euros. (mauro.orru@wsj.com)
