Mizuho analyst Vijay Rakesh downgraded NXP Semiconductors NV (NASDAQ: NXPI) from Outperform to Underperform with a price target of $188.00 (from $255.00).

The analyst commented, "With NXPI Auto exposure at ~55-60% the highest among peers and handset/RF ~10% of revs both combined ~60-70% of revs challenged, we see headwinds to top line growth limited by Global LVP underperformance (Ex-15), while peers TXN/STM seeing AI DC revenue growing 70%-100% y/y. While NXPI has a long-term strategy to move to foundry with VSMC, we believe foundry transitions and analog re-qualification and ramps take time. We are adjusting our estimates to BELOW consensus with:

No change to our MarQ rev/EPS estimates of $3.15B/$2.97 (cons. $3.15B/$2.98)
Lowering F26E from $13.4B/$13.73 to $13.1B/$13.37 (cons. $13.5B/$13.96)
Lowering F27E from $14.7B/$16.46 to $14.2B/$15.61 (cons. $14.9B/$16.74)"
