STMicroelectronics Q1: Let Your Winners Run

STMicroelectronics is riding a powerful AI-driven semiconductor wave, with Q1 revenue up 23% year-over-year and strong forward bookings. AI, data centers, robotics, and silicon photonics are key multi-year growth drivers, but STM's current operating margin is just 2.3%, and free cash flow is negative. Valuation appears stretched in the near term, yet the long-term trajectory remains compelling; a 60% upside is projected if growth targets are met.
