"Key focus on STM: Supplying Starlink chips to SPCX Positioning: STM = AI power management + silicon photonics + satellite chips, a leading European semiconductor company Relationship with SpaceX: STM has been a key supplier to SpaceX since 2015, holding about 90% of the market share for Starlink satellite chips. STM’s advantages and competitive moat: 1. Owns its own wafer and packaging factories, designing and processing chips in-house; Clients include Tesla, Mercedes, BMW, Volkswagen, and other car manufacturers. 2. SiC (silicon carbide) leader STM’s strongest technical barrier, holding 30% of the market share. Silicon carbide is used in EVs, charging stations, AI power supplies, industrial motors, etc. 3. STM32 ecosystem, high competitive moat STM32 is one of the world’s most successful MCU platforms, boasting: - Over 1.5 million developers - Massive software libraries - Industrial automation ecosystem - Robotics ecosystem - IoT ecosystem Once factory equipment, robots, or smart meters adopt STM32, switching costs are extremely high, creating strong customer stickiness. 4. Automotive certification Complete automotive supply chain—for example, Tesla uses STM’s power chips. 5. Product synergy STM can simultaneously sell MCUs, sensors, MEMS, power devices, SiC, RF, optical communication, etc. 6. AI era competitive moat 800V AI cabinet power supply, solving data transmission bottlenecks. Due to its automotive business, STM’s financial growth has been somewhat dragged down. Keep an eye on the growth rate of its AI segment moving forward. #Semiconductors #AI #SpaceX #Starlink #STM32 #SiC #Tesla #TechInnovation
