ST looking at options for digital business

Earlier today, in London,  ST CEO Carlo Bozotti said that the problem with ST’s digital business “needs to be fixed and we will fix it.”

ST COO Jean-Marc Chery said that ST is  ”exploring options” for the division, adding: “Business as usual is no longer an option.”

ST’s shares jumped 6% on the news.

ST’s  Digital Product Group (DPG) saw Q1 revenues fall 27% y-o-y to $207 million which represents about 12% of ST’s total revenues for a loss of $64 million..

ST management blamed STE-related legacy sales and declining sales of image sensors and  low-end set-top IC sales.

The financial community have argued for some years that ST’s revenues, and more particularly its margins, are not sufficient for it to support leading edge digital process capability.

Recently ST’s CEO said ST would not continue digital process development beyond 14nm.
