NXP Semiconductors (NXPI-Q) has recently experienced a significant surge in its stock price, soaring 25.5% in response to an increasing shortage of automotive chips. This development marks a notable turnaround for a company that previously faced challenges due to its association with chips for cars. As the automotive industry increasingly relies on sophisticated software, the demand for these chips has risen dramatically. Experts suggest that NXP, which has a substantial presence in the semiconductor market for vehicles, is positioned favorably for future growth. The positive sentiment around its stock indicates a renewed confidence in its ability to capitalize on the evolving needs of the auto sector.

TXN, 54

BUY

Shares rocketed 25.5% today on a shortage of chips needed in cars. Before, those chips for cars were an albatross for NXP, but now cars are filled with software.

BUY

A semis company that does a lot of business with autos is a buy.

DON'T BUY

It's a semis company that supplies cars, so he won't touch this.

WATCH

They report today. It won't be a slam dunk, but there's potential for bad news due to soft demand for EVs which require a lot of chips. So, does NXP have enough strength in supplying gas-powered cars (sales are healthy) to offset weakness in EVs? There could be upside surprise.

DON'T BUY

The car business is slowing a lot. NXPI is exposed 57% to semis in cars. Challanges lie ahead and expecations are muted.

BUY

50% of business is in cars, so given the auto strikes shares are now cheaper than they should be. Inventories on car dealer lots is low, and car ages are high. So demand will be there. He likes the set up.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Down 10% this month. Half of business comes from cars, and 21% from industrials, both pressured by recession fears. Threats of an auto workers' strike doesn't help, but a strike won't last very long--Washington will force both sides to talk. They just reported a solid quarter and guidance.

BUY

Sells a lot of chips to the car industry, and the company is well run.

BUY

It reports Monday. Intel's bad quarter today normally would mean a sell-off of other semis, but the street has been buying NXP, and he expects this bullishness to continue.

(A Top Pick Jul 26/22, Down 20.4%)Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O’Reilly Our PAST TOP PIC with NXPI has triggered its stop at $140.

TOP PICK

Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly This producer of semiconductors used in EV for power management and for powering 5G infrastructure -- both set for explosive growth going forward is reiterated as a TOP PICK. The second largest supplier of chips to the automobile sector sees demand remaining strong and is reporting sales up 28% over the year. It is prudently using some cash reserves to buy back shares in support of a 40% ROE. We recommend trailing up the stop loss (from $135) to $140, looking to achieve $213 -- upside potential over 20%. Yield 1.93% (Analysts’ price target is $213.14)

TOP PICK

Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly This TOP PICK produces semiconductors used in EV for power management and for powering 5G infrastructure -- both set for explosive growth going forward. Recently reported earnings beat expectations and support an impressive 40% ROE. It has rumoured to be a potential takeover by Samsung. It has increased cash reserves thru business operations and some added debt, while aggressively buying back shares. we recommend a stop loss at $135, looking to achieve $223 -- upside potential over 45%. Yield 2.12% (Analysts’ price target is $222.95)

BUY

He owns Qualcomm and NXP--great valuations. He expects the economic cycle to be very long. There is a wave of factory/mine/construction and building happening in the US and around the world, which which will feed demand for semis.

BUY

It's a new position. He called a great quarter for peer ON Semiconductor and he was right. He also called a great quarter for NXP and got it right, but this time shares didn't react. So, he bought it. Chip demand from autos is a tailwind.

BUY

They report Monday. They make computer chips for cars--can they meet demand in 2022? NXP also has excellent near-field communications technology that allows you to use your cell phone as a credit card. If Apple goes against Square in this business, then NXP is a logical partner.
