On August 4, STMicroelectronics NV rose 5.01% in regular trading, trading at $54.14/share, with turnover of $119 million, as the broader semiconductor sector rallied collectively.
On the news front, market reports indicate STMicroelectronics NV commands approximately 80% market share in MCUs used for optical modules. Driven by AI computing demand accelerating 800G and 1.6T optical module shipments, prices for this MCU category have risen 30%-40% year-to-date, with no capacity expansion planned. Current full-capacity production can only satisfy roughly 70% of high-end market demand, and production capacity through 2027 has already been locked in by leading customers.
Supporting the rally, the company previously reported Q2 adjusted EPS of $0.31, beating consensus estimates by 14.8%, with revenue rising 26% year-over-year. Management raised its AI data center business target to exceed $1 billion, and Berenberg subsequently lifted its price target to EUR 68. Within the Semiconductors sector, Intel gained 7.54%, Marvell Technology rose 10.78%, AMD advanced 6.1%, Micron Technology added 5.77%, and NVIDIA climbed 1.82%.
