Credit Suisse analyst John Pitzer raised his price target for NXP Semiconductors (NXPI) to $150 from $135 and reiterated an Outperform rating to reflect the completion of the acquisition of Marvell's (MRVL) WiFI division last month.

BofA raised the firm's price target on Texas Instruments (TXN) to $190 from $175 and keeps a Neutral rating on the shares.

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.
