Factors to Consider
Solid demand for the company’s robust microcontrollers, sensors, power, analog and other connectivity products is likely to have driven its top-line growth in the industrial market in the quarter under review.
The growing uptake of motion and environmental sensors, time-of-flight ranging sensors, wireless charging products, touch display controllers, and secure solutions in smartphones is anticipated to have aided its performance in the personal electronics market in the second quarter.
The strong momentum in design wins of smartwatches and other wearables is likely to have been another positive.
Increasing demand in the automotive product group across all geographies is likely to have aided STM’s performance in the to-be-reported quarter. Growing electrification and digitalization of the automotive industry are expected to have been a tailwind. Strong design wins, with ST power modules in electronic vehicle applications, are likely to have driven its growth in the automotive market in the to-be-reported quarter.
Strengthening customer engagements in cellular and satellite communication infrastructure are expected to have aided STM’s performance in the communications equipment, computer and peripherals market in the quarter under review.
All the above-mentioned factors are anticipated to have affected the overall second-quarter performance of the company.
However, the coronavirus-induced supply-chain disruptions in the semiconductor market are expected to have impacted STMicroelectronics’ quarterly performance negatively.
Mounting expenses are likely to have been another headwind in the quarter under discussion.
