STMicroelectronics makes the chips that run cars, factories, and everyday gadgets—think the brain inside your car's dashboard or the sensor in your smartwatch. They're a one-stop shop for analog, power, and microcontroller chips.
Money comes from selling chips to automotive and industrial customers, with revenue of USD 11.84B in 2025. Gross margin was 34.28%, but net margin shrank to 3.48%—a thin, cyclical profit that swings with demand.
Their custom chip designs and long automotive qualification cycles keep customers locked in, but competition from Infineon, NXP, and Texas Instruments is intense. Moat is eroding as margins compress and revenue drops from USD 17.29B in 2023 to USD 11.84B in 20
