Equity research: NXP Semiconductors

When people think about semiconductor growth, they usually picture smartphones or data centres. NXP Semiconductors offers something different. The Company designs the chips that let cars, industrial machines and connected devices think, communicate and stay secure, serving automotive, industrial, IoT, mobile and communications-infrastructure customers. 

What ties these markets together is a steady rise in the amount of electronics each system needs. As machines take on more automated and software-driven tasks, they rely on dependable processing, secure connections, and the ability to share information in real time. That is exactly where NXP has built its expertise. 

The automotive market stands out. The move to electric powertrains, always-on connectivity and software-defined vehicle design is reshaping what goes inside a car. Every one of those changes calls for more embedded processing, connectivity and security, giving NXP a growing role in each new generation of vehicles. 

In our view, NXP provides a differentiated way to invest in semiconductors, linked to the gradual build-out of intelligence in the physical world rather than the swings of consumer gadgets or compute spending.
