FBR Capital analyst Christopher Rolland replaced Broadcom (BRCM) with NXP Semiconductors (NXPI) on his firm's Top Picks list. The analyst saw a stabilization of lead times for NXP in October and thinks a two-quarter inventory drawdown could drive a better than expected "bounceback" beginning in Q2 or Q3 of 2016. He lowered his price target for shares to $105 from $115 and keeps an Outperform rating on the name. Rolland has an Outperform rating on Broadcom with a $58 price target.

BofA raised the firm's price target on Texas Instruments (TXN) to $190 from $175 and keeps a Neutral rating on the shares. TI's small Q1 beat and inline but sequentially rising Q2 sales guidance, "while modest, potentially marks a recovery inflection in industrial chip demand," with positive read-across for U.S. peers such as Analog Devices (ADI), Microchip (MCHP), NXP Semiconductors (NXPI) and On Semiconductor (ON), the analyst tells investors. However, despite an expected recovery, TI's sustained high capex intensity could keep reported calendar year 2024-26 pro-forma EPS below $6 per share, the analyst added.
