AUTO PARTS SUPPLIERS POSE INVENTORY RISK FOR EU SEMIS
Eyes are on the semiconductor industry this week as AI-behemoth Nvidia NVDA.O is due to report earnings on Wednesday, but JPMorgan analysts warn of a potential headwind for EU semis heading into 2025, the struggling auto sector.
"The inventory at auto parts suppliers is of most concern to the semi ecosystem," JPM analysts say in a note.
According to their analysis, inventory levels at auto parts suppliers are 24.7% more than in 2019 and 43% higher than the pre-COVID average seen from Q1 of 2010 to Q4 of 2019.
To normalise to average inventories, JPM says they would need to reduce absolute inventory by circa 30%.
"With auto semis inventory already at a peak, this is a key issue for auto semi companies in our opinion given that the end market has also seen weakness in EVs," JPM says.
"Considerable inventory reduction would be needed if inventory were to revert to pre-Covid levels and this would likely seriously impact semiconductor revenue growth."
"We believe that the market needs to remain cautious on auto semis exposure in particular as it could be an overhang into '25."
European companies with exposure to autos industry include Infineon IFXGn.DE and STMicroelectronics STMPA.PA.
Looking to the second half of the year, JPM therefore says ASML ASML.AS, ASMI ASMI.AS and VAT VACN.S remain top picks.
