The company has a long‑term supply deal with AWS for networking and power management chips. ST’s stock rose >8% pre‑market.

Meanwhile, Arm’s CEO said the company’s self‑designed chip business is moving faster than expected, and its $15 billion revenue target (previously set for 2030) could be reached earlier.

Arm’s stock gained >2% pre‑market.
