Cantor Fitzgerald On NXP Semiconductors
Analyst C.J. Muse maintained an Overweight rating and price target of $250.
NXP Semiconductors' quarterly results were better than feared, "given rising investor concerns as to the state of the automotive market combined with uncertain sustainability of 4Q China demand," Muse said. The Auto segment performed better than expected in the quarter, "helping to offset weakness in Industrial/IOT and Comms," he added.
Management's gross margin guidance of 56.3% is "still robust" and highlights "the company's resiliency in this downturn," the analyst wrote. Prudent cost management is helping NXP Semiconductors to boost its earnings power, he further stated.

Analyst John Vinh reaffirmed an Overweight rating on the stock.
NXP Semiconductors' fourth-quarter results were solid and reflected "stable demand in Auto," Vihn said. The company guided to a 9% sequential decline in revenues, which "likely reflects continued macro weakness in Europe," he added.
Management's first-quarter revenue and earnings guidance came in below the consensus estimates, the analyst stated.
