Hi Saleem,

I read the Q4 guidance as being sequentially "down in the low to upper-teens range". At midpoint that would be ~1.29M (-15%). They didn't make it totally clear from the press release, but that's how I took it. I'm sure they will clarify on the conference call.

Hi Stocktrader,

They are showing $1.52 Billion as actual Sales for Q3 and guidance for Q4 is $1.52 Billion Sales also....i do not why they are saying sequentially down ?

Hi Saleem,

I thought the NXPI call was ok. Although NXPI was one of the few semis that warned this big, it certainly seems like a transitory issue for them. With the pending merger/synergies, NXPI is a buy somewhere around here I'd imagine, but month-end and year-end portfolio positioning might skew investment manager's decision making. I'll be watching closely for an entry.

Hi Stocktrader,

I had a sell order for NXPI @ $78.50 well before open, got filled.

Market is lofty and no need to hold anything with a question mark.
