According to the news from Memes, STMicroelectronics will invest more than $3 billion to build two 300mm (12-inch) Fabs. If it is true, this will be an amazing glimpse of ST's “Glory of the Great”. So far, STMicroelectronics has not issued any announcements on this. A few years ago, STMicroelectronics was also considered a "problem company". In 2012, STMicroelectronics was dragged down by ST-Ericsson, a loss-making joint venture. Of course, objectively speaking, those core businesses in those years Not performing well. At the time, before the announcement of STMicroelectronics, it was rumored that STMicroelectronics would propose a new "strategic plan" to sell part of the company's business - selling digital business, retaining analog, mixed-signal and MEMS businesses. When its strategic plan was finally revealed, people found that there was no strategic plan at all, which was actually the collapse of ST-Ericsson (sold in 2013).

STMicroelectronics' market strategy centered on smart driving and the Internet of Things has since been so mixed with STMicroelectronics for many years. But this year, STMicroelectronics' market strategy centered on smart driving and the Internet of Things has begun to play a role. Its financial report shows that the company has improved and the company's revenue has achieved continuous growth. With the popularity of its 3D sensor module into the iPhone X supply chain, ST's New York Stock Exchange's share price has risen from $8 last year to nearly $20. However, with regard to STMicroelectronics, the mixed news is still there. In order to achieve a 10% operating margin quickly, the company has significantly reduced operating costs, and R&D spending has become one of the main victims. According to financial analyst research, to achieve its goals, the company's annual sales need to reach 10 billion US dollars (STAF's 2016 sales of 6.97 billion US dollars, net profit of 165 million US dollars).

STMicroelectronics' market revenues by business and region in 2016, does this huge Fab investment mean any major changes in the company's board of directors? STMicroelectronics' current CEO (CEO) Carlo Bozotti is nearing his end and is believed to be responsible for the poor performance of STMicroelectronics.
