On July 2, STMicroelectronics rose 3.2% in regular trading, trading at $72.8/share, with turnover of $118 million. The stock was lifted by approximately 20 global chip manufacturers implementing collective price increases, combined with multiple investment bank target price upgrades.

Jefferies raised its target price for STMicroelectronics from €74 to €82, while HSBC also upgraded targets for both STMicroelectronics and Infineon, citing an analog chip cycle recovery and AI-driven profit acceleration. Earlier, JPMorgan had raised its target from €48 to €71.5, and Bank of America Global Research lifted its target from €86 to €88.

The core logic behind the industry-wide repricing centers on AI workloads consuming advanced-node capacity, compressing mature-node supply, with foundry cost increases reaching up to 15%. Sustained demand from automotive electronics and energy storage further tightens the supply-demand balance, supporting structural price resets across MCU and analog chip segments. STMicroelectronics formally implemented its second MCU price hike of the year on June 28, with peers NXP and Infineon following suit.
