11:00 AM EDT, 07/22/2025 (MT Newswires) -- CFRA, an independent research provider, has provided MT Newswires with the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:

We maintain our 12-month target price at $250, based on a P/E of 15.7x our 2027 EPS view (set at $15.90), which matches NXPI's 10-year historical forward average. We raise our 2025 EPS to $11.59 from $11.40 but keep 2026 at $13.74. After posting slightly better-than-expected Q2 results/Q3 guidance, we largely hold our estimates unchanged and are somewhat disappointed that orders are not accelerating faster a current levels. Still, we are growing more optimistic about greater earnings leverage/margin expansion in out years, partly as NXPI is looking to accelerate and expand its opportunity in higher-margin software-defined vehicle platforms. We believe NXPI is benefiting from strong design wins in China, as the region continues to lead Western markets in key megatrends like AVs/EVs, supporting improving order trends. We think auto/industrial sequential growth should persist into Q4. We don't expect NXPI to surpass its prior revenue peak until late 2026/early 2027, but will come at higher margins.
