April 23 (Reuters) - ‌STMicroelectronics on ​Thursday ​reported first-quarter results above estimates, pointing to signs ‌of recovery in its key semiconductor ⁠markets, and forecast further growth in ‌the second quarter.

The ‌Franco-Italian chipmaker reported revenue of $3.10 billion for the first three ​months of the year, versus the $3.04 billion expected by analysts ⁠polled by LSEG. Operating income was $171 million, ​above market expectations of $165.8 million.

"In Q1, despite the macroeconomic uncertainty, ​we saw improving demand ‌with strong booking and normalized inventory in distribution", ⁠STMicroelectronics' CEO Jean-Marc Chery said in a statement.

STMicro is one of ⁠Europe's largest chipmakers and a bellwether for ​the automotive and industrial semiconductors sector, where customers have spent recent years digesting ‌excess, post-pandemic inventory and cutting new orders.

The company ‌also forecast second-quarter revenue of $3.45 ⁠billion, above market ‌expectations of $3.21 ​billion.
