STMicroelectronics NV raised its 2026 AI data centre revenue forecast to $1.3 billion on Thursday after third-quarter earnings beat market expectations. The France-headquartered and Italy-linked chipmaker lifted the target from a July projection of over $1 billion, while maintaining its 2027 goal of well above $2 billion. Strong demand from data centres and satellite operators drove the performance, outperforming consensus estimates.
