GuruFocus Financial Strength Rank measures how strong a companyย’s financial situation is. It is based on these factors

1. The debt burden that the company has as measured by its Interest coverage (current year).
2. Debt to revenue ratio. The lower, the better
3. Altman Z-score.

A company ranks high with financial strength is likely to withstand any business slowdowns and recessions.

GuruFocus Profitability Rank ranks how profitable a company is and how likely the companyย’s business will stay that way. It is based on these factors:

1. Operating Margin
2. Trend of the Operating Margin (5-year average). The company with an uptrend profit margin has a higher rank.
ย•ย•3. Consistency of the profitability
4. Piotroski F-Score
5. Predictability Rankย•

The maximum rank is 10. A rank of 7 or higher means a higher profitability and may stay that way. A rank of 3 or lower indicates that the company has had trouble to make a profit.

Profitability Rank is not directly related to the Financial Strength Rank. But if a company is consistently profitable, its financial strength will be stronger.

Business Description

STMicroelectronics NV was formed and incorporated in 1987. The company is a global semiconductor company that designs, develops, manufactures and markets a range of semiconductor products used in different microelectronic applications, including automotive products, computer peripherals, telecommunications systems, consumer products, industrial automation and control systems. The company offers a diversified product portfolio and develops products for different market applications to reduce its dependence on any single product, application or end market. The company's product families comprised of differentiated application-specific products that it organized under the Automotive, Consumer, Computer and Communication Infrastructure Product Groups and Wireless Products Sector and power devices, microcontrollers, discrete products, special nonvolatile memory and Smartcard products organized under its Industrial and Multi-segment Products Sector. Automotive, Consumer, Computer and Communication Infrastructure Product Groups, comprised of three product lines: Home, Entertainment & Displays, which now includes the Imaging division; Automotive Products Group; and Computer and Communication Infrastructure, which now includes the Communication Infrastructure division. Industrial and Multi-segment Products Sector, comprised of: Analog, Power and Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems; and Microcontrollers, non-Flash, non-volatile Memory and Smartcard products. Wireless Products Sector, comprised of three product lines: Wireless Multi Media; Connectivity & Peripherals; and Cellular Systems. The company's products are manufactured and designed using different manufacturing processes and proprietary design methods. The company uses all of the prevalent function-oriented process technologies, including complementary metal-on silicon oxide semiconductor, bipolar and nonvolatile memory technologies. The company's manufacturing processes uses many raw materials, including silicon wafers, lead frames, mold compound, ceramic packages and chemicals and gases. The three types of suppliers in the business are equipment suppliers, raw material suppliers and external subcontractors. The company operated regional sales organizations in Europe, North America, Asia Pacific, Greater China, Japan, and Emerging Markets, which include Latin America, the Middle East and Africa, Europe, Russia and India. It uses distributors and representatives to distribute its products globally. It also sells and delivers its products to electronic manufacturing service providers (EMS), which, on a contractual basis with its customers, incorporates its products into the application-specific products which it, manufacture for the customers. The company's customers include Bosch, Cisco, Continental, Delphi, Delta, Garmin, Hewlett-Packard, LG Electronics, Nintendo, Nokia, Philips, Research in Motion, Samsung, Seagate, Sharp, Siemens, Sony Ericsson, Thomson and Western Digital.
