Economic Moat
Evidence of durable competitive advantage in the filed financials (10 years of history).
Profit margins and economic moats, explainedSome durable-advantage evidence, but not across the board — dig into which ingredient is weak and whether it's cyclical or structural.
56.0% average over the last 3 years
±4.2 pts around 52.5% across 10 years
grew in 4 of the last 9 year-over-year periods
positive in 10 of 10 years

A moat can't be proven by numbers alone — this scores the evidence a durable advantage leaves behind (pricing power, consistency, returns on capital), computed the same way for every stock. Pair it with the business overview before concluding anything.
Technical Analysis (Educational)
Technical analysis reads price and volume to judge momentum and timing. It complements the fundamentals above — it does not replace them. Here is what NXPI's chart says today, with each tool explained.
Trend — moving averages. A moving average is the average closing price over a window, which smooths out daily noise. NXPI trades near $231.55, below its 50-day average ($294.79) and 200-day average ($236.76). Price below both averages is a downtrend — momentum is against buyers for now.
Momentum — RSI. The Relative Strength Index runs 0–100 and measures how strong recent gains are versus losses. Above 70 is "overbought", below 30 "oversold". At 38 it is in neutral territory — neither stretched nor washed out.
MACD. MACD compares two moving averages to flag shifts in momentum. Its histogram is currently negative — short-term momentum is fading.
Volatility — ATR. Average True Range is the typical daily move. NXPI's is $15.38 (~6.6% of price), so swings of about that size each day are normal — handy for setting a stop that isn't too tight.
Support & resistance. In the month to Jul 6, 2026, NXPI found buyers near $267.55 (support) and sellers near $328.21 (resistance); its 52-week range then was $183.00–$339.95. A decisive break beyond either edge often marks the next move.
Volume. The latest session traded 1.2× the 20-day average — about normal. Rising volume on up-days suggests real buying; on down-days, real selling.

Educational scenario model, not a forecast or investment advice. It starts from the latest annual revenue in SEC filings. By default, growth is trailing revenue growth (held between 3% and 45% a year), the net margin is the latest one (held between 3% and 50%, so a loss-making company is modeled with a small profit), and the Base case P/E runs from 60% to 100% of today's. Carrying recent growth forward five years can miss badly in either direction. Outputs are only as good as the assumptions.
Bull Case
The case for NXPI:
- High net margins (21.0%) point to pricing power or efficiency.
- Strong return on equity (26.1%) shows capital is put to work well.
- Healthy free-cash-flow yield (~5.1%) funds buybacks and dividends.
- Our model's overall read is Favorable (61/100).
Bear Case
The case against NXPI:
- Revenue growth is slow (2.4%), limiting the upside engine.
- Like any single stock, it is exposed to competition, the economic cycle, and shifts in its end markets.
Key Risks
Balance-sheet risk — debt/equity of 1.2x magnifies the impact of higher rates or weaker earnings.
Growth risk — sluggish revenue (2.4%) leaves little margin for execution missteps.
Market risk — sector rotation, the economic cycle, and broad sentiment move the stock regardless of fundamentals.
Investment Thesis
On balance, the fundamentals screen favourably: NXP Semiconductors is a large-cap information technology business growing at a mature pace, with solid profitability, and a heavier debt load to watch. It trades at 23.0x earnings, which our model scores Favorable (61/100). Weigh this against your own goals and time horizon — this is educational information, not a recommendation.

How our ratings work →Where does NXPI's data come from?
Live price data plus real fundamentals and 5-year financials pulled directly from NXP Semiconductors's SEC filings — refreshed automatically, not hand-entered.
How is the 5-year projection for NXPI calculated?
It's a scenario model. It starts from the latest annual revenue and net margin in SEC filings, grows revenue at an assumed rate (trailing revenue growth by default), and applies a P/E range built around today's multiple to show the resulting share-price range. When a stock has no growth or P/E data, the starting values are placeholders. It's a tool for thinking, not a prediction.
