On June 2, STMicroelectronics raised its revenue targets for its data centre business for 2026 and 2027, now anticipating approximately $1 billion in 2026, driven by robust demand related to AI infrastructure and advancements in expanding production capacity. The company’s shares surged to €65.21, marking their highest point since September 2000, as analysts noted that data centres could contribute around 7% of STMicro’s overall growth by 2027, which is projected at 20.5%. This increase reflects a broader trend in the semiconductor industry, where the growing demand from hyperscalers and generative AI companies accelerates the need for supporting semiconductor components beyond just core processors.
