Why This Analog Semiconductor Stock Is A Top Undervalued Pick
Following its second-quarter results reported on Monday, NXP Semiconductors (NASDAQ:NXPI) has seen its outlook reassessed by Wall Street analysts. The company announced second-quarter revenue of $2.93 billion, a 6% decrease year-over-year, yet still surpassing analyst estimates of $2.90 billion. Looking ahead, NXP anticipates third-quarter revenue to range from $3.05 billion to $3.25 billion, versus estimates of $3.05 Fitzgerald analyst Matthew Prisco reiterated an Overweight rating on NXP Semiconductors, maintaining a $250 price forecast. Meanwhile, Stifel analyst Tore Svanberg maintained a Hold rating on the company, while increasing his price forecast from $170 to $210. Cantor Fitzgerald's Analysis Prisco noted that NXP Semiconductors delivered a modest beat-and-raise quarter, driven by strong performance in the Industrial IoT segment. While the analyst would have preferred the upside from automotive, management guided for continued strength based on a cyclical recovery in core end markets and company-specific growth catalysts. He noted that gross margins came in slightly above expectations due to more substantial revenue, while operating expenses ran higher than expected, primarily due to merger and acquisition activity. However, operating expenses aligned with NXP Semiconductors' long-term intensity targets when adjusted for the elevated revenue levels. Prisco noted that the company also showed encouraging inventory management. Days Inventory Outstanding (DIO) dropped by 11 days quarter-over-quarter to 158, and channel inventory remained stable at nine weeks, below the target of eleven weeks, indicating results were likely driven by genuine end-market demand rather than inventory builds. That said, there were a few points of contention, as per the analyst. The gross margin guidance came in a bit softer than previously implied; at $3.15 billion in revenue, gross margin should have been closer to 57.5% based on prior comments, he said. In addition, operating margin guidance was pressured by M&A-related costs, slightly muting the leverage typically expected during an upcycle. Heading into the earnings call, Prisco remained focused on the quality and sustainability of this beat and raise. While the near-term performance may be weighed down by NXP Semiconductors' exposure to the auto sector, the analyst remained optimistic about the long-term opportunity. He noted NXP Semiconductors as one of the most undervalued names in the analog semiconductor space, citing strong secular growth drivers and a resilient through-cycle business model. Stifel's Take Svanberg viewed NXP Semiconductors' June quarter as primarily in line with expectations, with revenue of $2.93 billion growing 3.2% quarter-over-quarter and beating estimates by 0.9%. Adjusted EPS reached $2.72, exceeding the analyst's and Street estimates by $0.06 and $0.04, respectively. He noted that all end markets performed within anticipated ranges, showing a stable demand backdrop. Free cash flow (FCF) came in strong at $696 million, 24% of revenue, rising 63% quarter-over-quarter, Svanberg noted. He said that on a trailing twelve-month (TTM) basis, FCF rose to $1.98 billion, improving by $120 million from the prior quarter. TTM FCF leverage ticked up slightly to 4.20x. However, TTM EBITDA dipped to $4.75 billion from $4.89 billion. Net leverage increased to 1.75x due to rising net debt, which hit $8.31 billion following shareholder returns and the TTTech Auto acquisition, Svanberg noted. Looking ahead, management guided for a stronger third quarter, he noted. NXP Semiconductors expects revenue to hit a midpoint of $3.15 billion, a 7.7% sequential increase and above both the Street and the analyst's estimates. EPS guidance also came in stronger, with a midpoint of $3.10-$0.37 above the analyst's estimate and $0.04 above the Street's. Gross margin and operating margin guidance also came in ahead, signaling improving profitability, Svanberg noted. Despite these positives, the analyst flagged some caution. He noted that NXP Semiconductors' results and outlook still trail historical seasonal trends, reinforcing its role as a 'late corrector' in the semiconductor space, particularly compared to smaller peers that already reset more steeply. The team acknowledged lingering macro uncertainty heading into the second half of 2025 and stressed that, while NXP Semiconductors hasn't yet seen significant order volatility or tariff impacts, the long-term visibility remains cloudy, Svanberg said. As a result, the analyst awaited more evident signs of a sustained recovery in demand, margin expansion, or macro clarity.

The charts are showing signs that tech could pull back in the near term
The growth trade has gone almost parabolic since the April lows with a 40% rise in less than four months. I think we're in a secular bull market and should be considerably higher one year from now. Near term, however, I also think a pullback is possible. Should you care? I don't know. It depends on your perspectives and objectives. But if a 5% pullback is something you consider actionable, then a hedge in the Nasdaq might make sense. One investor's bull market is another investor's bear market. Trading and investing is all about your own personal perspectives and objectives. There is not one proper way to invest and speculate in the markets. You have to decide what best meets your objectives. If you're not sure how to answer those questions, please consult a financial advisor. It doesn't make you ignorant. We have actual scientists as clients - much smarter than I - who need help answering those questions. We're trained for this. Looking at the Invesco QQQ Trust , which tracks the Nasdaq-100, you'll see a sharp rise from the April lows. The Relative Strength Indicator (RSI) put in a commensurate rise with the QQQ price through May. In June, QQQ broke through the former $540 double top resistance level, which is now acting as support and a target level should the pullback I'm about to describe starts to manifest. However, when the $540 ceiling was being penetrated, the RSI did not confirm with a push to new highs indicating that momentum, or rate-of-change, was waning. Think of a ball being thrown in the air. Towards the apex of the throw the ball continues to move higher, but at a slowing rate of change until the direction changes and gravity takes over. In my short-term Active Opps model for our more active clients, I plan to bring in a short hedge via the ProShares Ultrashort QQQ ETF (QID) to protect gains in our core holdings. QID is trading around $24.61 and will look to exit the trade at a loss if it trades below $24.25. Remember, as QQQ goes up the QID goes down. Wednesday kicks off the heart of megacap growth earnings with Alphabet, ServiceNow and Tesla reporting. It gets busier next week with more earnings and next Federal Reserve meeting. Looking at some other macro markets with a potential impact on the stock market, I'm seeing gold (left chart) threatening a break through $317 resistance and the 20 year+ treasury bond ETF TLT acting a little 'bottomish' with a possible inverse head and shoulders with attendant RSI divergence. Gold and bond moving higher here is a cause for concern. Some profit taking before the real heart of earnings season after a historic 40% run in less than four months seems reasonable and relevant to our shorter-term managed model Active Opps. In the bigger, longer-time frame portfolios we managed, this possible pullback is noise and not something to be bothered with. I believe we're still in a secular AI-driven technology bull market that should be significantly higher one year from now. -Todd Gordon, Founder of Inside Edge Capital, LLC We offer active portfolio management and regular subscriber updates like the idea presented above .
