Wide-Moat NXP Semiconductors Remains Undervalued With Healthy Automotive Exposure

NXP Semiconductors is one of the largest suppliers of semiconductors for the automotive market and a significant player in the analog and mixed-signal chip markets generally. We believe the company has a strong position in the automotive, industrial, mobile, and communications infrastructure markets through a combination of high customer switching costs and intangible assets. Although the company sells into cyclical industries, the strength of these competitive advantages gives us confidence that it will generate excess returns over the cost of capital over the next decade and beyond.
