*MW NXP Semiconductors stock rallies 5% as results, outlook top Wall Street view

7:39 AM ET 5/2/23 | MarketWatch

By Wallace Witkowski

Chip maker to hold call with analysts Tuesday morning

NXP Semiconductors NV shares rose in the extended session Monday after the chip maker -- which gets more than half its sales from auto makers -- topped Wall Street estimates for the past quarter, and in its outlook for the current one.

NXP (NXPI) shares rose as much as 5% after hours, following a 1.4% rise to close the regular session at $166.01. The company is scheduled to hold its conference call with analysts at 8 a.m. Eastern.

The Eindhoven, Netherlands-based chip maker forecast earnings of $3.07 to $3.49 a share on revenue of $3.1 billion to $3.3 billion for the second quarter, while analysts surveyed by FactSet expected $2.99 a share on revenue of $3.04 billion.

"Solid first-quarter results, guidance for the second quarter, and our early views into the second half of the year underpin a cautious optimism that NXP is successfully navigating through the cyclical downturn in our consumer-exposed businesses, while we see continued strength in our automotive and core-industrial businesses," NXP Chief Executive Kurt Sievers said in a statement.

NXP reported first-quarter net income of $615 million, or $2.35 a share, with adjusted earnings of $834 million, or $3.19 a share.

Revenue declined to $3.12 billion from $3.14 billion in the year-ago quarter, as auto-chip sales rose 17% to $1.83 billion from a year ago.

Analysts surveyed by FactSet had forecast $3.02 a share on revenue of $3 billion, while forecasting auto-chip sales to $1.81 billion.

Year to date, NXP shares are up 5.1%, while the PHLX Semiconductor Index is up 19.2%, the S&P 500 index is up 8.6%, and the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite Index has gained 16.7%.

Last week, another big supplier to the auto market, Texas Instruments Inc. (TXN), said that sales to the auto industry remained strong.
