Economic Moat

A moat can't be proven by numbers alone — this scores the evidence a durable advantage leaves behind (pricing power, consistency, returns on capital), computed the same way for every stock. Pair it with the business overview before concluding anything.

Technical Analysis (Educational)
Research

Technical analysis reads price and volume to judge momentum and timing. It complements the fundamentals above — it does not replace them. Here is what STM's chart says today, with each tool explained.

Trend — moving averages. A moving average is the average closing price over a window, which smooths out daily noise. STM trades near $65.44, around its 50-day average ($66.84) and 200-day average ($38.87). Price tangled in its moving averages means there is no clear trend — the stock is ranging.

Momentum — RSI. The Relative Strength Index runs 0–100 and measures how strong recent gains are versus losses. Above 70 is "overbought", below 30 "oversold". At 44 it is in neutral territory — neither stretched nor washed out.

MACD. MACD compares two moving averages to flag shifts in momentum. Its histogram is currently negative — short-term momentum is fading.

Volatility — ATR. Average True Range is the typical daily move. STM's is $4.46 (~6.8% of price), so swings of about that size each day are normal — handy for setting a stop that isn't too tight.

Support & resistance. Over the last month STM found buyers near $66.78 (support) and sellers near $81.17 (resistance); its 52-week range is $21.11–$81.42. A decisive break beyond either edge often marks the next move.

Volume. The latest session traded 0.3× the 20-day average — lighter than usual, so the move carries less conviction. Rising volume on up-days suggests real buying; on down-days, real selling.

Revenue Growth

Revenue moved from $6.97B in 2016 to $11.80B in 2025, a 6.0% compound annual growth rate. The most recent year declined 11.1% year over year. Shrinking revenue is worth a closer look — is it cyclical or structural?

STMicroelectronics NV keeps about 2.5% of each sales dollar as net profit, with a 33.9% gross margin and 1.5% operating margin. Return on equity is 1.6% and return on invested capital about 1.0%. Thin margins leave less cushion if costs rise.

Dividend Safety

Can the payout survive a bad year? Scored from filed cash flow, earnings coverage, and the raise/cut record.

BorderlineSafety score: 54/100

The dividend is being paid, but coverage or consistency is thinner than an income investor should rely on without a closer look.

Bull Case

The case for STM:

  • A conservative balance sheet (debt/equity 0.1x) lowers risk.
  • As an established S&P 500 member in Information Technology, it brings scale and a long operating history.
Bear Case

The case against STM:

  • Revenue growth is slow/negative (-11.1%), limiting the upside engine.
  • Thin net margins (2.5%) leave little room for error.
  • Our model's overall read is Weak (19/100).
Key Risks
Research

Growth risk — sluggish revenue (-11.1%) leaves little margin for execution missteps.

Margin risk — thin profitability (2.5%) is vulnerable to cost or pricing pressure.

Market risk — sector rotation, the economic cycle, and broad sentiment move the stock regardless of fundamentals.

Investment Thesis
Research

On balance, the fundamentals screen weakly: STMicroelectronics NV is a large-cap information technology business with shrinking revenue, with modest profitability, and a sound balance sheet. It trades at n/a earnings, which our model scores Weak (19/100). Weigh this against your own goals and time horizon — this is educational information, not a recommendation.
