Geneva, November 20, 2024 – STMicroelectronics (NYSE:STM), a global semiconductor leader serving customers across the spectrum of electronics applications, is hosting today its Capital Markets Day in Paris, France. Within the framework of an unchanged strategy, ST is reiterating its $20 billion plus revenue ambition and associated financial model, that it now expects to be reached by 2030.
