STMicroelectronics: A Deep Moat At A Bargain Price

  • STM is a fundamentally strong, vertically integrated semiconductor leader, well-positioned in electrification, industrial automation, and edge AI growth markets. Despite recent revenue declines and industry cyclicality, STM boasts a robust moat, strong cost control, and returns well above its cost of capital. My valuation indicates a 47% margin of safety, driven by margin expansion, operational efficiencies, and an improving reinvestment rate rather than a revenue growth assumption.
