STMicro: Liberum still a buyer
(CercleFinance.com) - Liberum reiterates its "buy" rating on the STMicroelectronics share, maintaining its target price of 35 euros (23% upside), after the semiconductor manufacturer published quarterly results that are well above the broker's expectations and the consensus.
Sales exceed Liberum's estimate by 1.7%, while EPS outstrips its forecast by 16%. "Momentum seems strong particularly in the Analog, MEMS sensor business as well as microcontrollers," the broker notes.
"We believe we are in the early stages of an upcycle with revenue trends likely to accelerate in coming months," the broker says, which therefore expects "current guidance to prove conservative".
