Economic Moat
Evidence of durable competitive advantage in the filed financials (10 years of history).
Profit margins and economic moats, explainedSome durable-advantage evidence, but not across the board — dig into which ingredient is weak and whether it's cyclical or structural.
40.4% average over the last 3 years
±4.4 pts around 40.0% across 10 years
grew in 6 of the last 9 year-over-year periods
positive in 10 of 10 years
1.0% latest fiscal year
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)
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 $45.61, 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 (~9.8% of price), so swings of about that size each day are normal — handy for setting a stop that isn't too tight.
Support & resistance. In the month to Jul 6, 2026, STM found buyers near $66.78 (support) and sellers near $81.17 (resistance); its 52-week range then was $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
4Y CAGR
-1.9%
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?
Profitability
Gross Margin
33.9%
Operating Margin
1.5%
Net Margin
1.4%
ROE
1.6%
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.
Debt Analysis
Total Debt
$2.13B
Net Debt
-$704.00M
Net cash position
Net Debt / EBITDA
-4.02x
Debt / Equity
0.12x
Leverage: debt-to-equity is 0.1x, and operating profit covers interest about 3.2x, with a current ratio of 3.4x. That is a conservative balance sheet — a cushion in downturns. It carries roughly $2.13B of total debt against $2.84B of cash.
Cash Flow Analysis
Operating CF
$2.15B
Free Cash Flow
$2.15B
FCF Margin
18.2%
In the latest year STMicroelectronics NV produced about $2.15B of operating cash flow and $2.15B of free cash flow after capital spending. Cash flow is what ultimately pays shareholders, so it is worth tracking over time.

Educational scenario model, not a forecast or investment advice. It starts from the latest annual revenue in SEC filings. By default, growth is trailing revenue growth (held between 3% and 45% a year), the net margin is the latest one (held between 3% and 50%, so a loss-making company is modeled with a small profit), and the Base case P/E runs from 60% to 100% of today's. Carrying recent growth forward five years can miss badly in either direction. Outputs are only as good as the assumptions. Growth, margin or P/E data is missing for this stock, so some starting values above are placeholders rather than measurements.
Bull Case
The case for STM:
- A conservative balance sheet (debt/equity 0.1x) lowers risk.
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
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
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.
