STMicroelectronics stock edges lower as price hikes bite
Published on 08/22/2026 at 10:37 | Editorial responsibility: Rafael Müller, Editor-in-Chief AD HOC NEWS
STMicroelectronics N.V. (NL0000226223) stock traded at 43.14 EUR on August 21, 2026, down 0.34 percent, while a separate US-session quote showed 50.17 USD later the same day.
Investors were also weighing a third 2026 price increase, scheduled to take effect on August 23, 2026, alongside 52-week lead times for some power devices and a valuation snapshot that puts market cap at 23.0 billion and enterprise value at 44.9 billion.
Price increases meet valuation pressure
A sector report highlighted that higher prices are due across multiple product lines from August 23, 2026, which matters because the same snapshot cites 52-week lead times for certain power devices.
The market backdrop remains rich: one valuation page lists price-to-sales at 3.57 times, forward PE at 40 times and trailing PE at 102.73 times, while another quote overview puts the shares 9.13 percent lower year to date.
Latest reported numbers
The same source set shows revenue TTM at 11.84 billion, EBITDA TTM at 2.76 billion and net income TTM at 180 million, with profit margin TTM at 3.56 percent and operating margin TTM at 6.88 percent. Those figures frame the pricing move as a margin defense story rather than a pure growth narrative.
A second comparison stands out: market cap is listed at 23.0 billion in one valuation table and market capitalization TTM at 46.73 billion in another snapshot, underscoring how different methodologies can widen the gap between equity value and operating valuation.
