On July 27, STMicroelectronics NV rose 5.1% overnight, trading at $54.23/share, with turnover of $1.9688 million. The rally was driven by Berenberg significantly raising the company's target price from 53 euros to 68 euros, representing an approximately 28% upside and providing valuation support following recent post-earnings selling pressure.
STMicroelectronics reported Q2 earnings on July 23 that beat estimates, with adjusted EPS of $0.31 versus the $0.27 consensus and revenue of $3.487 billion exceeding the $3.379 billion estimate. However, the stock initially sold off as Q3 revenue guidance of approximately $3.7 billion came in below analyst expectations of $3.79 billion. CEO Jean-Marc Chery highlighted strengthening demand across all end markets, with strong order momentum and supply tightness emerging in multiple product categories. The company raised its AI data center revenue target to over $1 billion and projected Q4 revenue to exceed $4 billion, signaling an accelerating recovery trajectory.
Berenberg's upgrade reflects institutional confidence in the cyclical recovery and AI-driven growth outlook, while Deutsche Bank and TD Cowen adjusted their targets to 70 euros and 48.50 euros respectively on July 24, indicating divergent views on near-term valuation.
