STMicroelectronics rides AI and satellite demand, but margin recovery awaits fab overhaul

What happened

STMicroelectronics reported third-quarter 2026 revenue of US$3.76 billion, above the midpoint of its guidance, as AI data center and low Earth orbit (LEO) satellite demand lifted communication equipment and computer peripheral sales by 64% year-over-year. Gross margin reached 37.3%, up 410 basis points from a year earlier, and non-US GAAP earnings per share came in at US$0.37. Free cash flow was US$351 million. The headline further notes that margin recovery awaits a fab overhaul, which the body text does not elaborate on.
