On July 16, STMicroelectronics fell 3.28% overnight, trading at $65.65/share, with turnover of $745,800.

On the news front, the previously popular buy chips, sell software crowded trade is showing signs of unraveling. Meta's plan to rent out idle AI computing power has punctured the core narrative that computing capacity is perpetually scarce. The Philadelphia Semiconductor Index has already declined approximately 12% in July, with the sector sustaining broad-based selling pressure.

Additionally, STMicroelectronics is scheduled to report second-quarter earnings on July 23, with the market expecting EPS of $0.26. Uncertainty ahead of the earnings window has intensified selling pressure on the stock. Notably, multiple institutions including JPMorgan, Bank of America, and Jefferies recently raised their target prices for the company, and consensus estimates project quarterly revenue of $3.424 billion, reflecting continued recovery from prior quarters.
