About these figures.STMicroelectronics is a foreign company: it files an annual report on Form 20-F, prepared under US accounting standards (US GAAP), instead of a 10-K, and no quarterly reports, so this page has fiscal years only. Its shares trade in the US as American depositary shares (ADSs), and one ADS can stand for several ordinary shares, so per-share figures are per ordinary share and the page has no market value, P/E or valuation model.

Sales and profit
Is it selling more, and how much does it keep?
Results dates
In plain words: Every quarter, companies publish how much they sold and earned. These are the days STMicroelectronics did it, and the next one. Share prices often move a lot on those days.
From SEC filings: the results press release (8-K) or, without one, the quarterly or annual report.
Revenue and margins
KIRA· STMicroelectronics had $11.8B of revenue in fiscal 2025, down 11.1% on the year before. Over five years, revenue changed +2.9% a year on average. Its operating margin was 1.5%, down 11.2 pts: of every 100 in sales, about 1 is left after running the business.
In plain words: Revenue is all the money customers paid. The margins show how many cents of each dollar of sales are left over at each step: after making the product (gross), after running the business (operating) and after everything, tax included (net).
