The Allegations: Robbins LLP is Investigating Allegations that STMicroelectronics N.V. (STM) Misled Investors Regarding its Business Prospects

According to the complaint, during the class period, defendants failed to disclose to investors: (i) contrary to prior representations, demand in STMicroelectronics' automotive and industrial sectors continued to decline in the first half of 2024; (ii) as a result, the Company’s revenues and gross margins also continued to decline during this period; and (iii) as a result, the Company’s public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.

Plaintiff alleges that on July 25, 2024, STMicroelectronics issued a press release announcing the Company’s Q2 2024 results, including negatively revised FY 2024 revenue and margin projections for the second time within the current fiscal year and stating that “[d]uring the quarter, contrary to our prior expectations, customer orders for Industrial did not improve and Automotive demand declined.” The Company anticipated total revenue for FY 2024 to fall within the range of $13.2 billion to $13.7 billion, a reduction from the already negatively revised forecast of $14 billion to $15 billion, and a gross margin “of about 40%,” a reduction from the already negatively revised forecast of “in the low 40’s.” In addition, STMicroelectronics' Q2 revenue experienced a 25.3% decline year-over-year, amounting to $3.23 billion, and net sales to OEMs and through distribution channels decreased by 14.9% and 43.7%, respectively, on a year-over-year basis. On this news, STMicroelectronics' common share price fell $6.07 per share, or 15.35%, to close at $33.47 per share on July 25, 2024.
