NXP Semiconductors N.V. represents a hold based on multi-factor quantitative performance.
Our model assigns NXP Semiconductors N.V. a Hold rating, with a composite score of 55.7/100 and 3 out of 5 stars. Ranked #1179 of 7,333 stocks, NXPI presents a mixed quantitative picture — neither compelling enough to initiate new positions nor weak enough to warrant selling. Investors already holding may consider maintaining their position while monitoring for changes in the factor profile.
With a quality score of 61/100, NXPI shows adequate but unremarkable business quality. The company reports a return on equity of 22.3% (sector avg: -1.9%), gross margins of 55.5% (sector avg: 44.1%), net margins of 19.0% (sector avg: 1.0%). This suggests the company generates acceptable returns but may lack the competitive positioning or operational efficiency to stand out from peers.
NXPI's value score of 65/100 indicates the stock is fairly valued based on its current fundamentals. Key valuation metrics include a P/E ratio of 25.10x, an EV/EBITDA of 16.84x, a P/B ratio of 5.59x. At this level, neither a clear bargain nor overpriced, the stock's attractiveness depends more on forward growth expectations and qualitative factors.
NXP Semiconductors N.V.'s investment score of 37/100 suggests limited reinvestment activity. Key growth metrics include revenue growth of 1.5% vs. a sector average of 6.7% and a return on assets of 8.8% (sector: 0.9%). While this can be positive for mature, cash-generative businesses returning capital to shareholders, it may also signal a lack of growth opportunities or management conservatism.
NXPI is currently showing below-average momentum at 47/100, which may indicate weakening institutional interest or negative sentiment shifts. Revenue growth stands at 1.5% year-over-year, while a beta of 1.79 reflects its sensitivity to broader market moves. Investors should note that declining momentum can precede further price weakness, though contrarian opportunities sometimes emerge at these levels.
With a stability score of 60/100, NXPI exhibits average financial resilience. Key stability metrics include a beta of 1.79 and a debt-to-equity ratio of 106.00x (sector avg: 0.2x). While the balance sheet is not a major concern, the stock is subject to typical market volatility and may experience sharper drawdowns during risk-off episodes.
The short interest score of 54/100 for NXPI suggests somewhat elevated bearish positioning by institutional traders. Specific risk factors include high market sensitivity (beta: 1.79), elevated leverage (D/E: 106.00x). With a $57.0B market cap (large-cap), NXP Semiconductors N.V. may experience above-average volatility. Investors should consider whether the short thesis has merit or if it creates a potential short-squeeze opportunity.
NXPI offers a modest dividend yield of 1.8%. While the income contribution is relatively small, even a small dividend signals management's commitment to shareholder returns and can serve as a signal of financial discipline.
NXP Semiconductors N.V. is a large-cap company in the Manufacturing sector, ranked #0 of 50 in its sector (100th percentile) and #1179 of 7,333 overall (84th percentile). Key comparisons include ROE of 22.3% exceeding the -1.9% sector median and operating margins of 26.9% above the 2.5% sector average. This top-quartile standing reflects exceptional competitive strength relative to Manufacturing peers.
While NXPI currently exhibits a HOLD profile, superior opportunities exist within the MANUFACTURING sector. Our model identifies several "Strong Buy" candidates with higher quality scores and more attractive valuations among direct industry competitors.
