Antipodes Global Fund Antipodes Partners Limited | “STMicroelectronics detracted over the Quarter with sentiment dented by softer demand in key end markets, notably automotive and industrial chips and weaker than expected revenue forecasts. Expectations of more subdued earnings growth and a trimming of capex intentions also weighed on investor confidence. BSD Analysis: STMicroelectronics enters 2026 at the beginning of a projected revenue recovery, following a significant cyclical downturn in the automotive and industrial chip markets. Management expects a return to growth with a 2026 revenue increase of approximately 10%, supported by the stabilization of customer inventory levels and new microcontroller product launches. Despite this recovery, profitability remains under pressure as the firm implements a major $600 million restructuring program to adjust its cost base for the next decade. Gross margins are forecast to improve gradually to approximately 35%, though they remain well below the historic highs seen during the chip shortage era. The company is doubling down on internal capacity for silicon carbide and gallium nitride to capture the long-term electrification trend. While geopolitical uncertainties and flat automotive production in the West act as headwinds, STM's leadership in power semiconductors provides a durable competitive moat for the late-2020s cycle.” | BULL | Q4 2025 Dec 31, 2025 | View Pitch |
