Consumer Tech News (Apr 21-Apr 25): Microsoft's Copilot Gets a Sleek New Look, Apple Under Fire For 'Influence-Peddling' In US-China Trade & More

STMicroelectronics's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/STM#NYSE">STM</a>) short percent of float has risen 5.59% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 9.74 million shares sold short, which is 1.51% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 1.58 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<h3>STMicroelectronics Short Interest Graph (3 Months)</h3>
<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1745607631_0.png" alt="short_fig" />
As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for STMicroelectronics has grown since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to fall in the near-term but traders should be aware that more shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing STMicroelectronics's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, STMicroelectronics's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 5.41%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

Shares of chip and semiconductor companies are trading higher amid overall market strength after President Trump said he had no intention of firing Fed Chair Powell. Additionally, Trump indicated the final tariff rate would be less than the current 145% but not 0%. A reduction in tariffs could reduce trade and supply chain uncertainty, which have weighed on the sector this year.

STMicroelectronics (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/STM#NYSE">STM</a>) is preparing to release its quarterly earnings on Thursday, 2025-04-24. Here's a brief overview of what investors should keep in mind before the announcement.
Analysts expect STMicroelectronics to report an earnings per share (EPS) of $0.18.
STMicroelectronics bulls will hope to hear the company announce they've not only beaten that estimate, but also to provide positive guidance, or forecasted growth, for the next quarter.
New investors should note that it is sometimes not an earnings beat or miss that most affects the price of a stock, but the guidance (or forecast).
<h3>Earnings Track Record</h3>
Last quarter the company beat EPS by $0.02, which was followed by a 0.31% drop in the share price the next day.
Here's a look at STMicroelectronics's past performance and the resulting price change:

10 Information Technology Stocks Whale Activity In Today's Session

Shares of chip stocks are trading higher as stocks rebound amid overall market volatility as investors assess this week's tariff developments. Additionally, China announced tariffs on US-made chips but those outsourcing to Taiwan Semiconductor were exempted.

STMicroelectronics (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/STM#NYSE">STM</a>) disclosed further elements of its program to reshape its global manufacturing footprint. This program builds on the one the company announced in October 2024 to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/media/25/01/43399736/apple-and-tesla-supplier-stmicroelectronics-plans-up-to-3000-job-cuts-in-italy-and-france" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">strengthen its competitiveness</a>.
CEO Jean-Marc Chéry said the technology R&amp;D, design, and high-volume manufacturing activities in Italy and France will remain central to <a href="https://newsroom.st.com/media-center/press-item.html/c3330.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">its global operations</a>.
Tesla, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) and Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) supplier STMicroelectronics&#8217; manufacturing operations aim to prioritize planned investments in future-ready infrastructure, such as 300mm silicon and 200mm silicon carbide wafer fabs.
Also Read: <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44581377/stmicroelectronics-and-innoscience-partner-to-advance-gan-power-technology" rel="noreferrer noopener">STMicroelectronics And Innoscience Partner To Advance GaN Power Technology</a>
STMicroelectronics plans to continue investing in upgrading the technology used across its operations, deploying additional AI and automation to improve efficiency in technology R&amp;D and manufacturing.
Over the next three years, the reshaping of STMicroelectronics&#8217; manufacturing footprint will design and strengthen its complementary ecosystem: in France around digital technologies, in Italy around analog and power technologies, and in Singapore on mature technologies.
STMicroelectronics plans to double the current capacity of the Agrate (Italy) 300mm fab to 4,000 wafers per week (wpw) by 2027, with planned modular expansions increasing capacity to 14,000 wpw, depending on market conditions. The Agrate 200mm fab will refocus on MEMS.
The company plans to boost the capacity of the Crolles (France) 300mm fab to 14,000 wpw by 2027, with planned modular expansions increasing capacity to 20,000 wpw. In addition, the company proposed converting the Crolles 200mm fab to support Electrical Wafer Sorting, a high-volume manufacturing and advanced packaging technology. The focus will be on next-generation leading technologies, including optical sensing and silicon photonics.
Catania will continue to serve as a center of excellence for power and wide-bandgap semiconductor devices. The development of the new Silicon Carbide Campus is progressing as planned, with the production of 200mm wafers set to begin in the fourth quarter of 2025. STMicroelectronics&#8217; resources supporting Catania&#8217;s current 150mm and EWS capabilities will refocus on 200mm silicon carbide and silicon power semiconductor production, including GaN-on-silicon.
Rousset (France) will focus on 200mm manufacturing, with additional volumes reallocated from other sites.
Tours (France) will remain focused on its 200mm silicon production line for select technologies, while other activities, including legacy 150mm manufacturing activities, will be transferred to different STMicroelectronics sites. It will also remain a competence center for GaN, mainly on epitaxy. The Tours site will also host a new activity: panel-level packaging, one of the significant enablers of chiplets, a technology for complex semiconductor applications.
Ang Mo Kio (Singapore), STMicroelectronics&#8217; high-volume fab for mature technologies, will focus on 200mm silicon manufacturing and host its consolidated global legacy 150mm silicon capabilities.
Kirkop (Malta), STMicroelectronics&#8217; high-volume test and packaging fab in Europe, will be upgraded with advanced automated technologies.
As STMicroelectronics reshapes its manufacturing footprint over the next three years, the workforce size and required skill sets will evolve. Advanced manufacturing will shift roles from legacy processes involving repetitive manual tasks to a stronger focus on process control, automation, and design.
Based on current projections, the program will likely see up to 2,800 people leaving the company voluntarily globally, on top of normal attrition. These changes will likely occur mainly in 2026 and 2027.
STMicroelectronics stock plunged 56% in the last 12 months as it struggled to steer a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/management/25/02/43953046/stmicroelectronics-faces-leadership-shakeup-italy-seeks-new-ceo-amid-semiconductor-struggles" rel="noreferrer noopener">slump in demand</a> for automobile and industrial semiconductors.
Reportedly, Italy&#8217;s government is considering replacing&nbsp;STMicroelectronics chief Jean-Marc Chéry after he failed to improve&nbsp;the company&#8217;s prospects. Rome believes the CEO&#8217;s performance is insufficient. Rome and Paris governments hold a combined 27.8% stake in the company.
Price Action: STM stock is up 3.75% at $19.65 in premarket at last check Friday.
