Chipmaker NXP forecasts Q2 profit above estimates on industrial demand recovery
Adds analyst comment in paragraph 8, rival's results in paragraph 9
April 29 (Reuters) -NXP Semiconductors NV NXPI.O forecast second-quarter profit above estimates on Monday, as easing inventory corrections at its industrial and mobile customers helped offset decelerating revenue from automotive customers due to slowing EV demand.
U.S.-listed shares of the Eindhoven, Netherlands-based chipmaker rose 6%in extended trading.
After many quarters of working down existing chip inventory, orders from industrial and mobile customers show signs of rebounding. These markets were experiencing a chip supply glut after a pandemic-fueled buying spree.
Industrial and IoT revenue grew 14%,while mobile revenue was up 34%in the first quarter.
However, the automotive market, NXP's biggest by revenue share, is starting to see an inventory build-up.
Expensive EVs have put off consumers already grappling with higher-for-longer interest rates, hurting demand for the company's automotive chips, some of which are used in advanced driver-assistance system functions.
Revenue from the automotive segment fell 1%in the first quarter. NXP had said in February that automotiverevenue would be down in the low single-digit percent range in the quarter.
"Relative to its competitors and peers, NXP's first-quarter results and its second-quarter outlook are clearly better," said Summit Insights analyst Kinngai Chan.
Rival Mobileye Global MBLY.O reported a sharp fall in first-quarter revenue last week, hurt by fewer orders for its driver-assistance chips.
The company expects second-quarter adjusted earnings of about $3.20 per share,compared to analysts' average estimate of $3.11 per share, according to LSEG data. Its forecast for second-quarter revenue was in line with estimates.
It also forecast a second-quarter adjusted gross margin of about 58.5%, compared to an estimate of 58.1%.
NXP had increased pricing by about 8% in 2023 to help maintain its margins in the face of higher input costs. The company said in February it expects pricing to be flat in 2024.
