WL#STM#TS99999999 #STM $52.77 Market cap: 47.04B | Sector: Technology | 52 week High :81.43 Featured in TS Diamonds, TS Platinum, TS Weekly Uptrend, and TS Ultimate Reports Institutional buying in #STM includes Van Eck +20.43%, BlackRock +32.28%, Morgan Stanley +19.39%, State Street +18.95%, Invesco +19.86%, and new positions from Sustainable Solutions LP, W.T. Asset Management, and Arrowstreet Capital. #STM recent move is mainly a combination of AI/semiconductor-sector rotation + lower Treasury yields + renewed AI-infrastructure spending optimism, with STM's own AI-data-center growth outlook adding company-specific support. Investors are also looking ahead to STM's expected AI-data-center revenue exceeding $2B in 2027, particularly optical connectivity and power/cooling products. Major AI data-center catalyst: On Sep. 9, #STM CFO Lorenzo Grandi said it expects >$2B in AI data-center revenue in 2027, with ~80% from optical connectivity and ~20% from cooling/power chips. This follows its raised >$1B 2026 data-center target, strengthening its AI-growth outlook. Earnings Performance Q2 FY2026: Revenue $3.49B (+26% YoY) and EPS $0.24, with strong bookings across end markets and distribution inventories below normal levels. Q3/Q4 setup: STM expects Q3 revenue ~$3.70B (+16.2% YoY) and Q4 revenue >$4B, supported by AI data-center and LEO satellite demand, pointing to potential second-half acceleration. What Could Drive Growth AI Data Centers: Optical connectivity, power and cooling solutions are positioned to benefit from rising AI infrastructure demand. Automotive & Edge AI: ADAS, microcontrollers, sensors and the Aug. 24 Edge AI lab with NUS expand STM’s growth opportunities. LEO Satellites: Satellite programs are expected to contribute to Q4 growth. SiC & Optical Communications: 200mm SiC capacity expansion and rising high-speed optical demand support longer-term semiconductor growth. Upcoming events Oct. 29, 2026 — Q3 2026 earnings company's published preliminary calendar. Risks: Semiconductor cyclicality, weaker automotive/industrial demand, execution and manufacturing-ramp costs, high capex, tariffs/trade restrictions, supply-chain disruptions and currency fluctuations could pressure STM’s results. #STM has a much stronger fundamental catalyst behind it than a simple momentum rally. The combination of 26% Q2 revenue growth, improving margins, strong bookings, expected Q4 revenue above $4B, and a potentially >$2B AI-data-center revenue opportunity in 2027 is driving renewed interest.
