    Question

    Texas Instruments and NXP Semi Positioned for Rebound as Reporting Dates Approach

    Direct answer

    Analog and embedded microcontroller specialists are entering their third-quarter earnings window with notable forecasted operational recovery. Texas Instruments is modeled to deliver 61.49% EPS expansion on October 21, following an 11.35% monthly share price gain. NXP Semiconductors is expected to post 32.8% EPS growth and 18.47% top-line expansion on October 27. The prints will offer key confirmation on whether automotive and broad industrial end-market demand is stabilizing across global supply chains. — bullish pressure on NXPI.
