An update from ams-OSRAM ( (CH:AMS) ) is now available.

Ams-OSRAM reported fourth-quarter 2025 revenue of EUR 874 million and an adjusted EBITDA margin of 18.4%, exceeding the midpoint of guidance and generating EUR 144 million in comparable free cash flow. The company achieved about 8% underlying growth in its core semiconductor business at constant exchange rates, improved profitability, and cut net debt to EUR 1,078 million, while its earlier ‘Re-establish the Base’ savings program reached EUR 220 million in annual savings a year ahead of schedule.

For full-year 2025, revenue reached EUR 3.323 billion with an adjusted EBITDA margin of 18.3%, supported by more than EUR 5 billion in semiconductor design wins and 7% growth in the core semiconductor portfolio. Strategically, ams-OSRAM is sharpening its focus on Digital Photonics with divestments, a EUR 200 million partial buyback of its 2027 convertible bond, a sale of its non-optical sensor business to Infineon, and the launch of a new ‘Simplify’ transformation program targeting an additional EUR 200 million in annual savings by 2028 and impacting around 2,000 jobs.

The transactions and savings measures are expected to reduce pro-forma leverage to 2.5 times and support new 2030 financial targets, including mid to high single-digit revenue CAGR and at least 25% adjusted EBITDA margin in semiconductors, plus group free cash flow above EUR 200 million and leverage below 2. For 2026, management flags a moderate revenue decline and pressure on adjusted EBITDA from divestment-related one-offs, residual overheads, and higher precious metal costs, indicating a transitional year as the company reshapes its portfolio and cost base.

The most recent analyst rating on (CH:AMS) stock is a Buy with a CHF13.20 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on ams-OSRAM stock, see the CH:AMS Stock Forecast page.
