NXP Semiconductors N.V. (NL0009538779) closed at $232.72 on August 17, 2026, with a market value of $58.68 billion. The stock finished down 0.85% from the prior close, while the company’s latest quarter brought $3.61 in adjusted EPS on $3.50 billion in revenue.
July earnings set the tone
The July 29, 2026 earnings report showed EPS of $3.61, above the $3.52 consensus by $0.09, while revenue rose 19.5% year over year from $2.72 billion in the same quarter last year. Net margin reached 22.56% and return on equity was 27.83% in that quarter.
That mix matters because the valuation is still anchored to a 19.86 P/E ratio and a 0.80 PEG ratio, so investors are still weighing earnings momentum against a rich mid-cap semiconductor multiple.
Market gauge stays tight
Shares traded within a 52-week range of $183.00 to $339.95, which leaves the stock closer to the upper half of that band than the lower end. MarketBeat data also showed a consensus target of $305.43, indicating Wall Street is still pricing in more upside than the last close implies.
Extended trading pointed to $228.54 early on August 18, 2026, a softer read than the regular-session close and a reminder that sentiment can shift fast around semiconductor names.
