In Piazza Affari, all eyes are on STMicroelectronics, which rises by 2,47% in mid-morning, at 6,43 euros per share, and is at the top of a slightly negative Ftse Mib. The share of the Italian-French company also runs at a similar speed on the Parisian stock exchange.
Pushing up the prices of the semiconductor manufacturer, rather gasping in the last 3 months on the Stock Exchange (-11,5%) is the news of the purchase of the Nokia telephony sector by Microsoft, for a figure of around 5,4 billion euros. STM is, in fact, a supplier of the Finnish group, which represents a share close to 10% of its turnover.
It is precisely the weakness of Nokia in recent years that would have greatly penalized the performance of the semiconductor company, according to the Milanese analysts of Equita Sim who, for now, maintain their opinion on the stock at "hold" with a target price of 6,7 euros .
