STMicroelectronics Stays On Track As A Top Power Play

 

I’m glad to see STMicroelectronics (STM) (“STMicro”) getting more of its fair due in the market, as that hasn’t always been the case with this diversified chip company. Up almost 25% since my last update, doubling the return of the SOX in that time, but still lagging on a year-to-date basis, STMicro has benefited from another beat-and-raise quarter, as well as greater confidence about the security of the company’s book going into what will likely prove to be peak lead-times.

I’m beginning to see a stronger case for even more growth from STMicro over the next decade than I’d previously modeled, with STMicro leveraged not only to well-understood opportunities in autos, but also other industrial power markets, as well as 3D sensing, MCUs, and IoT. If STMicro can generate long-term growth more on the order of 9% over the long term, not impossible given underlying volume growth in markets like EVs, automation, and IoT, there is still worthwhile upside.
