German chip maker Infineon posts loss, stock buoyed by stronger than expected net cash

FRANKFURT, Germany (AP) -- Battered by the global technology slump, computer-chip maker Infineon Technologies AG posted large losses in its fiscal fourth quarter and for the full year

Infineon's stock rose by more than 7 percent Tuesday, however, buoyed by a stronger than expected cash position.

For the quarter ended Sept. 30, Infineon posted a net loss of 523 million euros ($471 million), compared with a net profit of 581 million euros in the same period last year.

For the full year, the company lost 591 million euros ($532 million), compared with a net profit of 1.13 billion euros a year earlier.

High technology companies have been hard hit by the world economic slowdown as businesses have slashed spending on new computer and communications equipment.
