Mizuho upgraded NXP Semiconductors to Buy from Neutral with a price target of $325, up from $265, as part of a broader research note on Semiconductors. After 2-3 years of underperformance, the Analog group has baked in the expected 2023-2024 slowdown, which could start catching up with the Semis index as inventories peak and as utilization gets cut across the supply chain, the analyst tells investors in a research note. The firm is also anticipating stabilizing global PMI data and bottoming industrial outlook ahead of potential interest rate cuts expected in 2025 while noting that with Auto demand showing signs of stabilizing, the cycle could shift toward a recovery.
