NEW YORK, NY / ACCESSWIRE / July 25, 2024 / Levi & Korsinsky notifies investors that it has commenced an investigation of STMicroelectronics N.V. ("STMicroelectronics") (NYSE:STM) concerning possible violations of federal securities laws.
Franco-Italian chipmaker STMicroelectronics (STM) on Thursday cut its full-year revenues guidance for the second time this year as industrial customer orders did not improve and automotive demand declined.
STMicroelectronics will release Q2 2024 earnings with expected net revenues of $3.2 billion and a gross margin around 40%, a YoY decrease of 7.8%. Its automotive sector represents 46% of revenues, with growth strategies focused on supplying components for EVs and autonomous vehicles. My deep dive analysis shows a 10% shortfall in SiC wafers, benefitting STM.
STMicroelectronics has shown remarkable growth in the SiC market, outpacing the overall market with a 40% average growth rate. The company has gained significant market share in the MCU market, becoming the market leader with a 17.3% share. STMicro's focus on industrial MCUs has also contributed to its competitiveness in the non-automotive MCU market, where it is the market leader with a 22.29% share.
Although the technology sector seemingly appeared stretched, its continued impressive performance may warrant a reconsideration of semiconductor stocks to buy. Stated bluntly, concerns that the innovation space lost its touch may have been overblown.
