Barclays Maintains Overweight on NXP Semiconductors, Lowers Price Target to $280

In its third-quarter earnings report, NXP Semiconductors NV (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NXPI#NASDAQ">NXPI</a>) posted earnings <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/semiconductors">of $3.45 per share</a>.
The company narrowly beat the consensus estimate of $3.43, with revenue <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/11/41730768/nxp-semiconductors-shares-dip-after-q3-results-eps-beat-revenues-in-line-q4-guidance-below-estimate">matching expectations at $3.25 billion</a>. That&#8217;s down from $3.43 billion year-over-year.
NXP Semiconductors CEO Kurt Sievers highlighted macro headwinds, particularly in Europe and the Americas, as a factor in the company's softer fourth-quarter guidance. He forecasts revenue between $3 billion and $3.2 billion and earnings between $2.93 and $3.33 per share, both below analyst expectations.
The earnings report has prompted varied reactions from analysts, who are assessing NXP's performance and outlook amidst global economic uncertainty.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Analyst Color Following NXPI Earnings</h2>
Truist analyst William Stein highlighted that, despite robust performance in the Mobile and Communications segments and a modest increase in Automotive revenue, significant weakness in the Industrial sector had a considerable impact on overall results.
Truist attributes this downturn to excess inventory levels, which have been a recurring concern in recent months. NXP&#8217;s inventory levels remained stable at approximately 145.3 days, contrary to the expected seasonal decline, with channel inventory slightly above management&#8217;s guidance.
Truist maintains a Buy rating and a $287 price target on the stock.
Demand trends in the third quarter, as highlighted by KeyBanc, showed stability in the Auto segment, while performance in the Industrial and IoT markets fell below expectations. Conversely, Mobile and Communications revenue slightly exceeded forecasts. 
Looking ahead, KeyBanc expects NXP to experience a revenue decline of 5% quarter-over-quarter in the fourth quarter, which is lower than consensus estimates and reflects ongoing macroeconomic challenges, particularly in Europe and the Americas.

Cantor Fitzgerald analyst C.J. Muse noted that the weakness in Industrial &amp; IoT resulted in lower gross margins, projected to hit new lows at 57.5%, a 70 basis point decline from the third quarter. 
Additionally, the reduced mix in Industrial segments is expected to lead to further margin compression, though NXP's prompt adjustment in operating expenses should help partially offset this impact. 
Despite the headwinds, Cantor reaffirmed its Overweight rating on NXP. Muse cites confidence in a gradual market recovery and NXP's ongoing structural transformation, which they believe is undervalued at present. The firm's price target remains at $270, reflecting a positive long-term outlook.
Oppenheimer analyst Rick Schafer maintained an Outperform rating on NXP, citing confidence in the company's long-term positioning despite near-term challenges. The firm remains optimistic about NXP's growth potential, driven by advancements in automotive content such as radar, BMS and processors, which they see as offsetting market softness.
Oppenheimer highlighted the European Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (ESMC) joint venture with TSMC, Bosch and Infineon broke ground on a new 300mm fab in Dresden, marking a significant long-term growth initiative.
In terms of the fourth quarter, Stifel analyst Tore Svanberg highlighted the softer outlook. Revenue guidance is at $3.10 billion—a 4.6% sequential decline and 8.3% below previous estimates.
Operating margins are expected to fall by 140 basis points quarter-over-quarter. Stifel maintains their Hold rating with a $260 price target.
According to data from&nbsp;<a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/register174">Benzinga Pro</a>, NXPI has a 52-week high of $296.08 and a 52-week low of $178.19.

Reiteration

Cantor Fitzgerald Reiterates Overweight on NXP Semiconductors, Maintains $270 Price Target

U.S. stocks could open on a tentative note on Tuesday after the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/11/41696201/market-volatility-soars-ahead-of-elections-tech-earnings-mixed-strikes-and-hurricanes-knock-employm">averages registered a mixed October</a>. Futures of all three major indices were slightly up on Tuesday, pointing to a cautious sentiment on Wall Street.
While the S&amp;P 500 and Dow Jones snapped their six-week winning streak, the Nasdaq Composite chalked its seventh straight week of gains to round off a volatile October.
America goes to polls on Tuesday to elect its 47th president, and data so far suggests that it will be a neck-to-neck race between Democratic candidate&nbsp;Kamala Harris&nbsp;and Republican nominee&nbsp;Donald Trump.
Another factor playing on investors' minds will be the Federal Open Market Committee's (FOMC) rate decision – the prevailing sentiment is that the Fed will deliver a 25-basis point cut.

In premarket trading on Tuesday,&nbsp;the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) rose 0.16% to $570.71 and the&nbsp;Invesco QQQ ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>) edged up by 0.25% to $487.24, according to&nbsp;<a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/lxquj26b2sag" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga Pro data</a>.
Cues From Last Session:
The Dow Jones tumbled over 250 points on Monday, closing the day down by 0.61%. The other two averages also declined amid declining investor sentiment and rising fear in the market.
Oil prices continued to rebound after tanking the week before, amid delays in production output increase by the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries, or OPEC.
Treasury yields continued to rise, signaling concerns that regardless of who wins the elections, the next administration might struggle with fiscal discipline. This sentiment was further exacerbated by the International Monetary Fund's warnings on the long-term trajectory <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/10/41495286/deficit-strain-in-washington-will-get-worse-imf-warns-national-debt-projections-rev" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">of the U.S. national debt</a>.
On the economic data front, U.S. factory orders declined by 0.5% from the previous month to $584.2 billion in September compared to a revised 0.8% fall in August.
Most sectors on the S&amp;P 500 closed on a negative note, with utilities, communication services, and financials stocks recording the biggest losses on Monday.
However, energy and real estate stocks bucked the overall market trend, closing the session higher.

Echoing Detrick's sentiment, WisdomTree and Wharton School economist&nbsp;Jeremy Siegel said the equity bull run could continue.
"In the near term, stock markets seem poised for further gains, bolstered by resilient earnings and steady economic fundamentals, while bond markets will likely grapple with higher yields and volatility ahead," he said.
"The bull market in stocks looks set to continue, while bonds face a rougher road."

He <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2024/11/04/cramers-lightning-round-i-cant-recommend-ford.html">responded</a> by praising the space industry and Tesla, stating, &#8220;I love space stuff, and that&#8217;s why I keep recommending Tesla&#8230;If there&#8217;s going to be something in space, it is going to be done by Elon Musk.&#8221;
However, Cramer expressed his disappointment with Ford&#8217;s performance, saying, &#8220;I want so badly for the company to do well, but I can&#8217;t recommend the stock.&#8221; He also advised against investing in Schlumberger, citing the lack of growth in the oil industry.
Cramer noted on X, that NXP Semiconductors (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NXPI#NASDAQ">NXPI</a>) and ON Semiconductor (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ON#NASDAQ">ON</a>) are "held back by autos,"

Jim Cramer Keeps Recommending Tesla Because He Loves 'Space Stuff,' But He's Not Keen On Ford: 'I Can't Recommend The Stock'

NXP Semiconductors N.V. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NXPI#NASDAQ">NXPI</a>) reported its third-quarter results after Monday's closing bell. Here's a look at the key <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/11/g41727522/nxp-semiconductors-reports-third-quarter-2024-results">figures from the quarter.&nbsp;&nbsp;</a>
The Details:&nbsp;NXP Semiconductors reported quarterly earnings of $3.45 per share, which beat the analyst consensus estimate of $3.43. Quarterly revenue came in at $3.25 billion which met the consensus estimate and is a decrease from sales of $3.43 billion from the same period last year.
The company reported non-GAAP gross margin of 58.2% and non-GAAP operating margin of 35.5%. Cash flow from operations was $779 million, with net capex investments of $186 million, resulting in non-GAAP free cash flow of $593 million for the quarter.

&#8220;NXP delivered quarterly revenue of $3.25 billion, in-line with our overall guidance. While we experienced some strength against our expectations in the Communication Infrastructure, Mobile and Automotive end markets, we were confronted with increasing macro-related weakness in the Industrial &amp; IoT market. Our guidance for the fourth quarter reflects broader macro weakness especially in Europe and the Americas,&#8221; said Kurt Sievers, NXP president and CEO.
Outlook:&nbsp;NXP Semiconductors sees fourth-quarter revenue in a range of $3 billion to $3.2 billion, versus the $3.35 billion estimate, and earnings of between $2.93 and $3.33 per share, versus the $3.64 estimate. 
NXPI Price Action: According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/?gspk=YWRhbWVja2VydDUzMzY&amp;gsxid=zBMR4PKmcgBw">Benzinga Pro</a>, NXP Semiconductors shares are down 5.02% after-hours at $225 at the time of publication Monday.

The U.S. stock market struggled to gain momentum on Monday as investors remained cautious ahead of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/election-day">Election Day on Tuesday</a>. 
Vice President Kamala Harris holds a 1-point lead over ex-President Donald Trump, according to the New York Times national polling average; she has a 4-point lead among likely voters nationally, <a href="https://maristpoll.marist.edu/polls/u-s-presidential-contest-november-2024/">according to the latest PBS News/NPR/Marist poll</a>.
Betting markets, as tracked by the CFTC-regulated Kalshi, favor a Trump win at a 53% chance, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/politics/24/11/41702729/harris-surges-in-prediction-markets-nabs-kalshi-lead-with-just-three-days-to-go">but with diminishing odds</a> compared to previous weeks. Also, the betting odds are susceptible to wild swings from so-called "whale" bettors, including one individual on Polymarket <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/10/41463756/polymarket-to-review-user-base-in-light-of-whales-betting-millions-on-trump-election-win" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">who spent as much as</a> $43 million on a Trump victory.

&#8220;Neither candidate holds a meaningful edge in enough states to win 270 electoral votes. In the history of modern polling, there's never been a race where the final polls showed such a close contest,&#8221; said Nate Cohn, chief political analyst for the New York Times. 
The S&amp;P 500 slipped 0.2%, while the Dow dropped 0.6%, hitting its lowest intraday level since mid-September. In contrast, small-cap stocks in the Russell 2000 outperformed, rising 1%. The Nasdaq 100 also retreated, dipping below the 20,000 mark.
Treasury yields fell by nearly 10 basis points as investors scaled back positions linked to Trump&#8217;s inflationary policies, such as high tariffs and more expansionary fiscal measures. The dollar also weakened, down 0.5%.
The increasing likelihood of a Harris victory gave a boost to solar and renewable energy stocks, with the Invesco Solar ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TAN#NYSE">TAN</a>) climbing 3.6%. 
Oil and gas stocks also gained, as crude prices surged 3% after OPEC+ postponed an anticipated production hike. Exxon Mobil Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XOM#NYSE">XOM</a>) jumped 3%, marking its largest single-day gain since late June.
Gold held steady at $2,740, while Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) fell over 1%, dropping below $68,000.

Let&#8217;s look at what the charts indicate for NXPI stock and how the stock currently maps against Wall Street estimates.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">NXPI Stock Chart Bearish Ahead Of Q3 Earnings&nbsp;</h2>
NXPI stock is riding a strongly bearish trend. Its share price of $238.59 remains below the five, 20 and 50-day Exponential Moving Averages (EMA), signaling sustained selling pressure.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/?utm_source=BZprocontent110424&amp;t=be2bearmibe3na1"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="628" height="455" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/04090515/Screenshot-2024-11-04-at-5.45.37-PM.png" alt="" class="wp-image-627875" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/04090515/Screenshot-2024-11-04-at-5.45.37-PM.png 628w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/04090515/Screenshot-2024-11-04-at-5.45.37-PM-300x217.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 628px) 100vw, 628px" /></a></figure>

However, the short-term technical picture is a mixed bag. With NXPI&#8217;s eight-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) at $242.78, a bearish tone prevails. Yet, the 20-day SMA sits just below the current price at $238.01, flashing a bullish signal, as does the 50-day SMA of $237.48, indicating a slight technical rebound. 
Conversely, the long-term 200-day SMA at $247.70 reinforces the broader bearish stance.
Supporting this mixed scenario, the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicator of 1.42 shows bullish momentum, while a Relative Strength Index (RSI) reading of 49.81, and declining, suggests that NXPI stock is headings towards being oversold. 
With indicators sending both bearish and bullish signals, NXP's chart implies potential upside for patient investors if buying pressure can overcome the current bearish trend.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">NXPI Analysts See 13.85% Upside</h2>
Ratings &amp; Consensus Estimates:<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/NXPI/analyst-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> The consensus analyst rating</a> on NXPI stock stands at a Buy currently with a price target of $273. The latest analyst ratings from Stifel, Cantor Fitzgerald and UBS give NXP Semiconductors&#8217; stock an average price target of $271.67, implying a 13.85% upside.
Price Action: NXPI stock closed the trading day Friday at $238.59, up 1.74%.
