Analyst sours on Infineon, ST but touts ARM
(04/02/2009 11:00 AM EDT)
Standard & Poor's Equity analyst James Crenshaw is recommending investors sell shares in a bunch of semiconductor companies, including Infineon Technologies AG, STMicroelectronics N.V. and chip equipment manufacturer ASML Holding N.V., due to deteriorating demand and cash-flow problems.
Crenshaw, however, confirmed his "buy" rating on ARM Holding, which he said continues to benefit from its IP-revenue model and its asset-light operating system.
Crenshaw lowered his ratings on Infineon, ST and ASML from "hold" to "sell" and raised the possibility of bankruptcy reorganization for Infineon, which may select this option in a bid to reduce crushing debt payments amidst concerns it may not be able to refinance loans in a tight credit market.
