STMicroelectronics Shares Reach a 3-Year High
The stock of the Franco-Italian semiconductor manufacturer hits a new three-year high during the session on Monday, May 4, 2026, reaching €49.24. The share price stands at €48.14 at midday, up 4.62% from the last close, while the CAC 40 is down 0.52% over the same period. The annual performance now exceeds 130%.
A New Three-Year Peak Amidst a Soaring Rally
The previous record for the stock was set in 2023 at €48.01. This has been surpassed during the session with a new intraday high of €49.24. STMicroelectronics continues a spectacular rally: +11% over seven days, and a price that has nearly doubled in three months. The momentum is sustained by the first quarter 2026 financial results released on April 23, which reported a 23% year-over-year revenue increase, boosted by the integration of NXP's MEMS sensor activities. However, the company had warned that its outlook for the second quarter did not include the impact of potential future changes in global tariff rates. Today's movement also occurs in a supportive environment for the sector in the United States: Micron Technology is up 4.84% and AMD is up 1.71%. In Europe, however, ASML is down 1.10%.
RSI at 86 and Price Moves Beyond Bollinger Bands
The continuous rise keeps distancing the stock from its moving averages. The 50-day moving average is at €30.51 and the 200-day at €24.94, approximately 36% and 48% below the current price, respectively. The gap reflects the magnitude of the rally accumulated since the beginning of the year. An RSI of 86 indicates a significant overbought condition. The price also moves above the upper Bollinger Band set at €42.88, a situation previously observed during the late April peak at €44.39. The next financial event is scheduled for July 23, 2026, with the publication of the second quarter results.
