How this balance works

Rhea-AI gives every point it takes from this document a weight. Minor counts 1, Moderate 3 and Major 9, so one Major point outweighs several Minor ones. The bar adds up the weights on each side, and when neither side holds more than 65% of the total the balance reads Mixed.

It reads the document as published, with the same rules for every company, and it does not look at what the market expected or at how the stock traded, so a point can be objectively good on a day the stock falls.

Rhea-AI Sentiment measures something else, the tone of the wording.

Key Terms

convertible bonds, purchase price allocation (ppa), free cash flow

3 terms

convertible bonds financial

"bondholders exercised their conversion rights on the total of $750 million convertible bonds"

A convertible bond is a loan a company issues that pays regular interest and can be exchanged for a fixed number of the company’s shares under specified terms. It matters to investors because it combines the steady income and lower downside risk of a bond with the upside potential of owning stock—like holding a ticket that can be cashed for equity if the share price rises—affecting returns, risk, and shareholder dilution.

purchase price allocation (ppa) financial

"$7 million purchase price allocation (PPA) effects from the acquisition"

Purchase price allocation (PPA) is the accounting process used after a business combination to assign the total purchase consideration to the acquired company's identifiable assets and liabilities at their fair values. Any excess of the purchase price over the fair value of identifiable net assets is recognized as goodwill; if the fair value of identifiable net assets exceeds the purchase price, a bargain purchase gain is recognized. PPA follows applicable accounting standards (e.g., US GAAP, IFRS), may be refined during a limited measurement period as more information becomes available, and affects future depreciation, amortization, and potential impairment testing.

free cash flow financial

"Free cash flow (non-U.S. GAAP1) was positive at $351 million"

Free cash flow is the amount of money a company has left over after paying all its expenses and investing in its business, like buying equipment or updating facilities. It shows how much cash is available to reward shareholders, pay down debt, or save for future growth. This helps investors understand if a company is financially healthy and able to grow.

STMicroelectronics Reports Q3 2026 Financial Results

• Q326 net revenues at $3.76 billion
• Gross margin at 37.3%
• Operating income at $367 million (non-U.S. GAAP¹ operating income at $429 million)
• Business outlook at mid-point: Q426 net revenues of $4.15 billion and gross margin of 39.0%

Geneva, October 29, 2026 – STMicroelectronics N.V. (“ST”) (NYSE: STM), a global semiconductor leader serving customers across the spectrum of electronics applications, reported U.S. GAAP financial results for the third quarter ended September 26, 2026. This press release also contains non-U.S. GAAP measures (see Appendix for additional information).

ST reported third quarter net revenues of $3.76 billion, gross margin of 37.3%, operating income of $367 million, and net income of $291 million or $0.31 diluted earnings per share (non-U.S. GAAP¹ operating income of $429 million, and non-U.S. GAAP¹ net income of $344 million or $0.37 diluted earnings per share).

Jean-Marc Chery, ST President & CEO, commented:

• “Q3 net revenues came above the mid-point of our business outlook range, driven by higher revenues in CECP and Personal Electronics. Gross margin was above the mid-point of our business outlook range.”
• “On a year-over-year basis, Q3 net revenues increased 17.9%. Q3 gross margin was 37.3%, operating margin was 9.8% and net income was $291 million. On a non-U.S. GAAP¹ basis operating margin was 11.4% and net income was $344 million.”
• “During the quarter, demand increased further supported by strong bookings and improving visibility, while inventory in distribution continued to track below our standard target. Together, these indicators confirm the continued ongoing recovery and secular growth across the markets we serve.”
• “Our fourth quarter business outlook, at the mid-point, is for net revenues of $4.15 billion, increasing about 10.5% sequentially and about 24.7% year-over-year. Gross margin is expected to be about 39.0%, including about 40 basis points of unused capacity charges.”
• “The mid-point of this outlook translates into full year 2026 revenues of about $14.5 billion, representing a 22.8% year-over-year increase. Beyond the cyclical recovery across our end markets, the year-over-year growth is supported by ST's company specific growth drivers, including AI datacenters and LEO satellite communication. Gross margin is expected to be about 36.4%, non-U.S. GAAP¹ gross margin is expected to be about 36.6%, representing an improvement of 270 basis points versus FY25.”
• “In an environment where demand remains well above supply, we continue to expand capacity aligned with ST’s strategic roadmap. We remain focused on improving profitability consistent with our intermediate financial model. This is driven by our company-specific growth drivers and the execution of our company-wide program to reshape our manufacturing footprint and resize our global cost base.”

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 PPA effects. Non-U.S. GAAP gross profit is also used by management to communicate the impact of PPA effects on gross margin. 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 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.

(US$ m)	Sep 26 2026	Jun 27 2026	Mar 28 2026	Dec 31 2025	Sep 27 2025

^(a)  Long-term debt contains standard conditions but does not impose minimum financial ratios. Committed credit facilities for $1,198 million equivalent are currently undrawn.
^(b)  During Q326 ST net settled its convertible bond due 2027 delivering $750 million in cash and about 4.2 million shares from treasury stock. Q226 short-term debt includes $750 million after the announcement of the early redemption of the convertible bonds due 2027.

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, and therefore, comparability may be limited.

Net Capex (non-U.S. GAAP)	(643)	(409)	(362)	(395)	(401)

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, and therefore, comparability may be limited.

What is STMicroelectronics' Q4 2026 outlook?

ST expects midpoint revenue of $4.15 billion, representing 10.5% sequential growth, plus or minus 350 basis points, and gross margin of 39.0%, plus or minus 200 basis points. The revenue midpoint represents about 24.7% year-over-year growth.

What assumptions underpin STMicroelectronics' Q4 2026 guidance?

ST's fourth-quarter outlook assumes an effective exchange rate of approximately $1.14 = €1.00, including existing hedging contracts, and excludes any impact from potential further changes to global trade tariffs. Expected gross margin includes about 40 basis points of unused capacity charges.

What was STMicroelectronics' adjusted net financial position at September 26, 2026?

ST's adjusted net financial position was $1.81 billion at September 26, 2026. This non-U.S. GAAP measure accounts for the effect on liquidity of capital-grant advances for which capital expenditures had not yet been incurred. Total liquidity was $5.31 billion and total financial debt was $3.21 billion.
