Earnings releases have typically seen negative next-day moves (average about -7.31%), even when results included guidance and strategic updates.
Recent earnings for STMicroelectronics have shown revenue pressure, margin compression, and restructuring, often met with share price declines after reports. Q2 and Q3 2025 featured losses and significant impairment charges, while Q4 2025 delivered a net loss despite higher revenues. Earlier, Q4 2024 highlighted steep year-over-year revenue and margin declines. Against this backdrop, the latest Q1 2026 print with higher revenues and improved margins marks a contrast to several weaker prior quarters.
Historical Comparison
Past earnings releases for STM often triggered sharp declines, averaging about -7.31%. Today’s modest 1.26% gain on stronger Q1 2026 growth looks more constructive than prior reactions.
Earnings have progressed from steep 2024–2025 revenue declines and losses toward Q1 2026 growth, higher net revenues, and improved operating profitability, alongside continued restructuring and portfolio shifts.
Market Pulse Summary
The stock surged +10.8% in the session following this news. A strong positive reaction aligns with improving Q1 2026 fundamentals, including net revenues of $3.10 billion and higher gross margin of 33.8%. Historically, STM earnings averaged moves of about -7.31%, often skewed to the downside. Investors should weigh acquisition-related cash outflows like the $895 million MEMS deal and restructuring charges, which have pressured free cash flow and could limit how long any post‑earnings momentum might persist.

ST Supplemental Non-U.S. GAAP Financial Information
U.S. GAAP – Non-U.S. GAAP Reconciliation
The supplemental non-U.S. GAAP information presented in this press release is unaudited and subject to inherent limitations. Such non-U.S. GAAP information is not based on any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles and should not be considered as a substitute for U.S. GAAP measures. Also, our supplemental non-U.S. GAAP financial information may not be comparable to similarly titled non-U.S. GAAP measures used by other companies. Further, specific limitations for individual non-U.S. GAAP measures, and the reasons for presenting non-U.S. GAAP financial information, are set forth in the paragraphs below. To compensate for these limitations, the supplemental non-U.S. GAAP financial information should not be read in isolation, but only in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
ST believes that these non-U.S. GAAP financial measures provide useful information for investors and management because they offer, when read in conjunction with ST’s U.S. GAAP financials, (i) the ability to make more meaningful period-to-period comparisons of ST’s on-going operating results, (ii) the ability to better identify trends in ST’s business and perform related trend analysis, and (iii) to facilitate a comparison of ST’s results of operations against investor and analyst financial models and valuations, which may exclude these items.
Non-U.S. GAAP Gross Profit, Non-U.S. GAAP Operating Income, Non-U.S. GAAP Net Income and Non-U.S. GAAP Diluted Earnings Per Share (non-U.S. GAAP measures)
Operating income before impairment, restructuring charges and other related phase-out costs, and other certain items, is used by management to help enhance an understanding of ongoing operations and to communicate the impact of the excluded items, such as impairment, restructuring charges and other related phase-out costs, and Purchase Price Allocation (PPA) effects. Adjusted net earnings and earnings per share (EPS) are used by management to help enhance an understanding of ongoing operations and to communicate the impact of the excluded items like impairment, restructuring charges and other related phase-out costs and other certain items, such as Purchase Price Allocation (PPA) effects, net of the relevant tax impact.

Net Financial Position and Adjusted Net Financial Position (non-U.S. GAAP measures)
Net Financial Position, a non-U.S. GAAP measure, represents the difference between our total liquidity and our total financial debt. Our total liquidity includes cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, if any, short-term deposits, and marketable securities, and our total financial debt includes short-term debt and long-term debt, as reported in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. ST also presents adjusted net financial position as a non-U.S. GAAP measure, to take into consideration the effect on total liquidity of advances received on capital grants for which capital expenditures have not been incurred yet.
ST believes its Net Financial Position and Adjusted Net Financial Position provide useful information for investors and management because they give evidence of our global position either in terms of net indebtedness or net cash by measuring our capital resources based on cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, if any, short-term deposits and marketable securities and the total level of our financial debt. Our definitions of Net Financial Position and Adjusted Net Financial Position may differ from definitions used by other companies, and therefore, comparability may be limited.

Net Capex and Free Cash Flow (non-U.S. GAAP measures)
ST presents Net Capex as a non-U.S. GAAP measure, which is reported as part of our Free Cash Flow (non-U.S. GAAP measure), to take into consideration the effect of advances from capital grants received on prior periods allocated to property, plant and equipment in the reporting period.
Net Capex, a non-U.S. GAAP measure, is defined as (i) Payment for purchase of tangible assets, as reported plus (ii) Proceeds from sale of tangible assets, as reported plus (iii) Proceeds from capital grants and other contributions, as reported plus (iv) Advances from capital grants allocated to property, plant and equipment in the reporting period.
ST believes Net Capex provides useful information for investors and management because annual capital expenditures budget includes the effect of capital grants. Our definition of Net Capex may differ from definitions used by other companies.

| Net Capex (non-U.S. GAAP) | (362) | (395) | (401) | (465) | (530) |
Free Cash Flow, which is a non-U.S. GAAP measure, is defined as (i) net cash from operating activities plus (ii) Net Capex plus (iii) payment for purchase (and proceeds from sale) of intangible and financial assets and (iv) net cash paid for business acquisitions, if any.
ST believes Free Cash Flow provides useful information for investors and management because it measures our capacity to generate cash from our operating and investing activities to sustain our operations.
Free Cash Flow reconciles with the total cash flow and the net cash increase (decrease) by including the payment for purchases of (and proceeds from matured) marketable securities and net investment in (and proceeds from) short-term deposits, the net cash from (used in) financing activities and the effect of changes in exchange rates, and by excluding the advances from capital grants received on prior periods allocated to property, plant and equipment in the reporting period. Our definition of Free Cash Flow may differ from definitions used by other companies.
