Market Focus08-07 22:05

On August 7, STMicroelectronics NV rose 5.05% in regular trading, trading at $55.28/share, with turnover of $92.75 million.

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 deployment of 800G and 1.6T optical modules, prices for this MCU category have risen 30%-40%. The company has no capacity expansion plans, with full utilization only meeting roughly 70% of high-end market demand, and production capacity through 2027 has already been locked in by leading customers.

Additionally, the company previously reported Q2 adjusted EPS of $0.31, beating consensus estimates by 14.81%, with revenue rising 26% year-over-year to $3.49 billion. Management raised the AI data center business revenue target to over $1 billion. Investment bank Berenberg subsequently raised its target price to 68 euros, citing improved earnings visibility and strengthening end-market demand across automotive, AI, and consumer electronics segments.
