NXP Semiconductors NV (NXPI) experienced a significant decline of 5.47% in post-market trading on Monday. The sharp drop followed the release of the company's fourth-quarter and full-year 2025 financial results.
While the chipmaker reported Q4 revenue of $3.34 billion and adjusted EPS of $3.35, both exceeding analyst estimates, investors reacted negatively to several underlying concerns. The company's full-year 2025 net revenue declined by 2.7% year-over-year to $12.27 billion. More critically, growth in the automotive segment, which accounts for over half of NXP's revenue, increased by only 4.8% to $1.88 billion, falling short of analyst expectations.
The market response highlights ongoing worries about the pace of recovery in the automotive chip market, which continues to grapple with post-pandemic inventory adjustments. The negative sentiment overshadowed the company's positive Q1 2026 revenue guidance, which projected a range of $3.05 billion to $3.25 billion with a midpoint above consensus estimates. The recent completion of the sale of NXP's MEMS sensors business to STMicroelectronics also contributed to the shifting business landscape for the semiconductor firm.
