STMicroelectronics faces a significant revenue decline, driven by underperformance in the Industrial Microcontrollers segment, with a 60.2% drop. The company's higher exposure to the weak European market and lower presence in the recovering Chinese market have exacerbated its revenue decline compared to competitors. Despite current challenges, STMicro's partnerships with Chinese firms for MCU manufacturing and stabilization of inventory levels are expected to drive recovery in H2 2025.

STMicroelectronics' fourth-quarter 2024 results are likely to be hurt by a slow recovery in the industrial and automotive market.
The STMicroelectronics share quote has dropped nearly 50% from its 2024 high due to an industrial chip demand slowdown but remains very profitable with a strong balance sheet. STM's current valuation metrics are historically low on 'depressed' results, with an EV to forward EBITDA ratio of 6.1x, making it a standout bargain in the semiconductor sector. The Company should outperform the S&P 500 in 2025, with potential upside back to $50+ in 12–18 months, assuming business trends improve.
Continuous inventory corrections and a stretched valuation can be a risk, although STM's market position is strengthened by its innovative product launches.
