In a report released today, Rajvindra Gill from Needham maintained a Buy rating on NXP Semiconductors (NXPI), with a price target of $105. The company’s shares closed yesterday at $90.73.
Gill observed:
“NXP posted solid 4Q18 results but lowered revenue guidance for 1Q19. The new 1Q19 guidance, which is lower than our below-consensus estimate, calls for a 13% Q/Q revenue decline. Revenue was affected by softness in China auto and industrial, WLTP delays, and weak smartphone sales. However, similar to other broad-based MCU/analog suppliers (MCHP , ON), NXP has seen an uptick in order rates in the past few weeks and expects a rebound in 2Q. Second half ramp remains the key question for NXPI, in fact across our universe, largely contingent on a resolution of trade issues with China.”
