NXP Tumbles After Auto Industry Slump Weighs on Its Forecast

Live Mint  

-- NXP Semiconductors NV fell in late trading after giving a disappointing forecast for fourth-quarter sales and earnings, hurt by a slowdown in the automotive industry. NXP’s peer, STMicroelectronics NV, last week gave a pessimistic sales outlook through the first quarter, while US chipmaker Texas Instruments Inc. said in October that automotive chips are still suffering from a glut of inventory. Last week, the European Union imposed higher tariffs on electric vehicles from the country in escalating tensions that the bloc’s carmakers have said could hurt their sales in China. BloombergNEF’s annual Electric Vehicle Outlook cut sales projections through 2026 by 14% from its outlook a year ago.
