1245 GMT - STMicroelectronics's positive fourth-quarter results have reassured investors, who were concerned about the effects of a weaker dollar and a potential slowdown in demand from Apple, a key customer, Barclays says. The U.K. bank says the chip maker will likely post strong sales in the second half of 2018, largely helped by new Apple deals, which will more than offset foreign exchange market pressures on its margin. Although Barclays says investors may not regain confidence overnight, it expects momentum to build over coming quarters. Barclays raises STMicro's target price to EUR24. Shares trade 0.1% lower at EUR18.91. ([e-mail])
