What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

NXP Semiconductors reported Q3 2026 revenue of $3.79 billion, which was 19% year-over-year and surpassed analyst expectations. However, the company set a Q4 revenue midpoint of $3.85 billion, slightly missing expectations and implying decelerating growth. TE Connectivity separately noted that weaker vehicle production poses a headwind to its fiscal 2027.
