NXP Semiconductors reported fourth-quarter revenue of 3.34 billion dollars for 2025, up 7 percent year-on-year. Growth was led by the industrial and IoT segment, which rose 24 percent compared to Q4 2024, and mobile, which gained 17 percent. Automotive, NXP’s largest segment, increased 2 percent year-on-year, pointing to a potential recovery.

For the full year, NXP’s revenue came in at 13.26 billion dollars, flat compared to 2024. Automotive accounted for 56 percent of annual earnings, followed by industrial and IoT at 19 percent, mobile at 12 percent and communication infrastructure at 13 percent.

“Throughout 2025, we executed effectively despite a challenging first half, maintaining operational discipline while advancing our strategic priorities in software-defined vehicles and physical AI. Through strategic acquisitions, we strengthened our portfolio to drive leadership in intelligent systems at the edge for automotive, industrial and IoT. These actions, combined with an improving demand environment, position NXP for profitable revenue growth,” comments CEO Rafael Sotomayor.

Looking ahead, NXP expects revenue between 3.05 and 3.25 billion dollars in Q1 2026. At the midpoint, this represents 10 percent growth compared to Q1 2025, when the company posted 2.84 billion dollars in earnings.
