On July 17, STMicroelectronics declined 4.46% in regular trading, trading at $59.3/share, with turnover of $154 million. The stock has been under sustained selling pressure as the broader semiconductor sector extends its pullback.
On the news front, the previously popular buy chips, sell software crowded trade on Wall Street is showing signs of unwinding. Meta's plan to rent out idle AI computing power has punctured the core narrative that computing power is permanently scarce, triggering a broad reassessment of chip demand assumptions. The Philadelphia Semiconductor Index has fallen approximately 12% in July, with sector-wide weakness dragging down major names including Advanced Micro Devices (-7.72%), Intel (-6.69%), NVIDIA (-4.07%), Micron Technology (-4.24%), and Broadcom (-3.84%).
Additionally, STMicroelectronics is scheduled to report Q2 earnings on July 23, with consensus EPS expectations at $0.26. Uncertainty ahead of the earnings window has intensified selling pressure on the stock in recent sessions.
