Growing momentum across radar, advanced driver assistance systems, battery management and digital clusters businesses is anticipated to have benefited NXPI in the quarter under review.

In the fourth quarter, NXP introduced the i.MX 93 family of application processors that uses machine learning for automotive, smart home, smart building and smart factory applications. Also, it collaborated with Foxconn for developing a digital cockpit solution on the back of iNXP i.MX 8 QuadMax. These initiatives are likely to have supported its quarterly performance.

Additionally, the company partnered with Ford Motor Company for delivering improved driver experiences, convenience and services across its global fleet of vehicles. This is expected to have been a positive in the quarter under discussion.

Further, the company’s positive outlook toward Automotive, Industrial & IoT, and Communication infrastructure and Other might have been a positive.

Yet, the global coronavirus-driven economic crisis has been raising volatility in the semiconductor market. This might get reflected in the upcoming quarterly results.

Also, supply chain constraints in the automotive market are likely to have continued affecting its quarterly performance.

Further, the company’s negative outlook toward Mobile is expected to have been a negative.
