Furthermore, according to the comprehensive report, the opinions of $NXP Semiconductors (NXPI.US)$'s main analysts recently are as follows:
NXP Semiconductors is expected to navigate through challenges in the automotive and industrial as well as IoT sectors, with anticipated declines in the high-single digit percentage range for the end of March quarter. This comes following a guidance that fell short of earlier estimates. Despite facing these market pressures, it's noted that the company is not impervious to the broader difficulties impacting the auto industry, leading to a revision of projections post the earnings announcement.
The management's commentary echoed similar sentiments to a peer company, highlighting China as the singular area of strength within the automotive sector and indicating a continually sluggish industrial segment. It also suggested a softer outlook for the upcoming December and March quarters. It was noted that the protracted weakness in the industrial sector might comparatively benefit the company due to its lower exposure in contrast to its competitors. However, projections suggest that the automotive sector may experience a mid-single-digit decline on a quarter-over-quarter basis for the subsequent few quarters, marking the onset of 2025 with a foundation that is significantly weaker than anticipated.
The analyst noted that NXP Semiconductors posted Q3 results that aligned with expectations but projected a subdued Q4 and a similarly soft outlook for Q1, mirroring the trends observed outside of China within the auto/industrial sector. They maintained a positive stance on the stock, citing NXP's anticipated sales growth for 2024, which appears to outpace its competitors significantly. Additionally, there's an expectation that Q1 might represent the cyclical low point, and that the auto production sector is unlikely to remain in a slump indefinitely. The possibility of an uptick in growth could lead to a revival of the stock, which is not overly populated with investors and has limited association with the AI theme.
NXP Semiconductors met its guidance, yet provided a softer forecast for a second consecutive quarter. The weakening macroeconomic conditions and cautious forward-looking statements have been common themes this earnings season within the broad-based semiconductor sector. While it was anticipated that NXP's previous cautious stance might offer some protection, the outlook for Q4 and the implications for Q1 were seen as underwhelming. Nevertheless, it is believed that the company is addressing the situation appropriately and transparently. The challenges faced are considered to be systematic, not particular to NXP, and there is an expectation that the company's financial performance will improve with the eventual betterment of macroeconomic conditions.
NXP Semiconductors' Q3 results aligned with expectations, yet the Q4 forecast for sales and EPS presented by the company fell short of the Street consensus by 8% and 14%, respectively. With inventories approaching low points, there is anticipation of a significant recovery for NXP. The revised valuation takes into account the broader multiple compression within the group.

此外，綜合報道，$恩智浦 (NXPI.US)$近期主要分析師觀點如下：
恩智浦預計在汽車、工業以及物聯網領域面臨挑戰，預計在三月份季度結束時高位個位數百分比區間內出現下滑。這一預期是基於之前估計的目標未達成。儘管面臨着市場壓力，但有人指出該公司不可避免受到整個汽車行業更廣泛困境的影響，因此在收益公告後修訂了預期。
管理層的評論與一家同行公司表達了類似想法，強調中國是汽車行業中唯一實力突出的地區，並指出工業板塊持續疲軟。還暗示了即將到來的十二月和三月季度的前景較爲疲軟。有人指出，工業領域持續疲軟可能會相對有利於該公司，因爲與競爭對手相比，其受到的影響較小。然而，相關預測表明，未來幾個季度汽車行業可能出現季度環比中位個位數的下降，標誌着2025年的開始比預期中弱勢得多。
分析師指出，恩智浦發布的第三季度結果符合預期，但預測第四季度略顯保守，對第一季度的前景也持類似看法，與中國以外的汽車/工業行業觀察到的趨勢相一致。他們對該股保持積極態度，引用了恩智浦預期的2024年銷售增長，可能顯著超過競爭對手。此外，有人預期第一季度可能代表週期性低點，汽車生產部門不太可能長期停滯。增長可能性可能導致股票復甦，該股票未被過多投資者持有，且與人工智能主題關聯有限。
恩智浦實現了其預測，但已連續兩個季度提供了較爲保守的預測。全面半導體行業本季度普遍存在的宏觀經濟疲軟和謹慎展望成爲共同主題。雖然預期恩智浦此前的謹慎立場可能會提供一定保護，但對第四季度的展望以及第一季度的影響被視爲令人失望。儘管如此，有人認爲該公司正在適當和透明地應對形勢。面臨的挑戰被視爲系統性的，而非特定於恩智浦，人們預期公司的財務表現將隨着宏觀經濟狀況的改善而提高。
恩智浦第三季度的業績符合預期，但公司對第四季度銷售額和每股收益的預測均低於市場共識，分別低於8%和14%。隨着庫存接近低點，人們預計恩智浦將出現顯著復甦。修訂後的估值考慮了集團內更廣泛的多重壓縮。
