NXP Semiconductors opened 2026 with a quarter that beat on every major financial metric and delivered guidance for Q2 that materially exceeded what the market had anticipated just three months prior. Revenue of $3.18 billion came in $31 million above the midpoint of guidance, up 12% year-over-year, with non-GAAP EPS of $3.05 beating the midpoint by $0.08. Non-GAAP gross margin of 57.1% and operating margin of 33.1% both exceeded guidance, and the company is now guiding Q2 revenue to $3.45 billion, up 18% year-over-year and 8% sequentially, with non-GAAP EPS of $3.50 at the midpoint and gross margin expanding to 58%. Management explicitly reaffirmed its 2027 Analyst Day targets, which imply double-digit revenue growth in both 2026 and 2027 and gross margins trending toward 60%-plus.
