MIXED
NXPI remains range-bound on the 1D chart at 40, with SELL and weakening momentum that refuses to pick a side. Sentiment at 53 is diverging from the chop, so the clean trade is often to wait. $213.33 and $231.11 are the only levels that matter until one breaks with conviction. Range-bound conditions like this reward fading the extremes more than committing to a direction - selling strength near $231.11 and covering near $213.33, rather than betting on which way the eventual break goes. That approach stops working the moment volume expands on a close outside the range, which is the signal to abandon the range-trade and respect the new direction.

Earnings Summary
NXP Semiconductors N.V. is a global semiconductor manufacturer focused on microcontrollers, processors, and connectivity solutions for automotive, industrial, and IoT markets, positioning it within the high‑growth technology sector. In the most recent two quarters, Q4 2025 and Q1 2026, the company posted EPS of $3.35 and $3.05 respectively, both slightly above analyst expectations of $3.3559 and $2.97975, while revenue in Q4 2025 ($3.335B) fell modestly from the $3.373B forecast, and Q1 2026 revenue ($3.181B) exceeded the $3.154B estimate, indicating a mixed revenue trend with a slight acceleration in Q1. Historically, NXP has maintained a steady YoY revenue growth trajectory, with EPS consistently beating estimates in the last four quarters, as evidenced by the 3.18 EPS in Q4 2024 versus the 3.13615 estimate and the 2.72 EPS in Q2 2025 versus the 2.65861 estimate; this pattern underscores robust earnings performance even when revenue growth decelerates. Recent news highlights a Citi downgrade to neutral on Oct 9, citing weaker earnings estimates and limited exposure to data‑center markets, which has tempered investor sentiment and raised concerns about the chipmaker’s valuation relative to projected cash flows; the downgrade followed a 21 % share decline over 90 days despite a modest 3.2 % gain in the last month.

Reverse DCF

What growth is priced into NXPI?

RICH

At today's price, NXP Semiconductors N.V. needs to grow free cash flow about 22.6% a year for the next 10 years to justify its valuation at a 10.77% cost of capital. Over its actual history it has compounded free cash flow at 17.2% a year, so the market is asking for 5.4 percentage points above its own delivered rate. On that basis NXPI looks priced above what its own growth record supports.

vs 200-day average

Up days (1y)
50%

NXP Semiconductors N.V. is currently running 32.8% annualised volatility over the last 21 sessions. Measured against NXPI's own 13 years of daily returns rather than a market-wide average, that is the 45th percentile — close to its own typical level, against a typical reading of 34.1%. The distinction matters because a number that looks calm for one stock is turbulent for another, and the absolute figure on its own tells you neither.

NXPI is trading -32.1% below its running peak. Across 12 full years on file, its median worst-drawdown-in-a-year was -27.4%, and the deepest was -51.0% in 2020. The current drawdown is already deeper than this stock's typical annual low point, which puts it in the part of its range where past recoveries began — and where past declines also continued.

Price sits -8.0% from its 200-day moving average. Against every other day in its history, that gap ranks at the 20th percentile — a narrower gap than it typically runs. Over the past year NXPI closed higher on 50% of sessions, and it is currently 1 session into a falling streak.

On October specifically: over 14 years of records, NXPI finished the month higher 7 of 14 times, with a median return of -0.7% and an average of -1.4%. Its strongest month historically has been November at +6.1% on average, its weakest March at -3.3%. Seasonality is a weak signal on its own — a decade is a small sample and regimes change — but it is a real distribution rather than a rule of thumb.

Overnight risk is measurable too: NXPI has opened more than 2% away from the prior close in 240 of 3,268 sessions (7.3% of the time), with the largest gaps running +10.0% and -11.0%. For anyone holding through an event, that rate is a better guide to overnight exposure than the intraday range.

Across the last 3 dated reports on file, NXPI moved an average of 4.4% in the session after earnings, closing higher 1 of those 3 times, with a median move of -0.4% and a largest of +8.7%.

All figures computed from 3,269 daily closes between 2013-10-15 and 2026-10-14, split-adjusted, recomputed daily. Percentiles are against NXPI's own 13-year history, not a peer group or index.
