NXP Semiconductors reported better-than-expected Q3 2025 results, with revenue of $3.17 billion slightly surpassing analyst estimates. The performance was largely driven by a recovery in the auto chip market.
The company's Auto business unit, which contributes nearly 60% of total revenue, saw sales reach $1.89 billion, a 6% sequential increase. This segment is now showing significant acceleration after a period of decline. The Mobile unit also posted a strong 30% quarterly growth.
For the fourth quarter, NXP provided an optimistic outlook, forecasting revenue between $3.2 billion and $3.4 billion, above market expectations. The company has been actively strengthening its automotive portfolio through acquisitions, including the recent purchase of Aviva Links for $243 million.
This positive momentum for NXP contrasts with more cautious statements from rivals like Texas Instruments and STMicroelectronics, highlighting a diverging recovery path within the chip sector.
