Cypress and NXP, two major players in the semiconductor industry, recently released their Q2 2017 financial reports. Cypress reported a record revenue of $593.8 million for the second quarter, marking an 11.6% increase from the previous quarter. This growth was driven by strong performance in automotive, IoT wireless connectivity, and USB-C solutions. The company's GAAP net income margin reached 39.8%, while non-GAAP margins hit 40.9%. Earnings per share also saw significant increases, rising 50% under GAAP and 62% under non-GAAP.
Cypress CEO Hassana El-Khoury highlighted that the company’s success was largely due to its focus on high-growth markets such as automotive, IoT, and USB-C. “We are continuing to invest in these areas to drive revenue and profit growth, expand our customer base, and improve gross margins,†she said. The company has been executing its Cypress 3.0 strategy for over a year, which aims to provide embedded system solutions tailored to fast-growing markets within the semiconductor industry.
NXP also delivered solid results for Q2 2017, with total revenue reaching $2.2 billion. The automotive division performed exceptionally well, generating $938 million in revenue—up 9% year-over-year and accounting for 42.6% of the company’s quarterly sales. This growth was fueled by strong demand for NXP’s automotive product portfolio. CEO Richard Clemmer noted that the company’s high-power mixed-signal products business grew 4% both year-over-year and quarter-over-quarter.
NXP also announced that it successfully completed the divestiture of its standard products business in early February, which had a minor impact on its overall revenue. Looking ahead, the company remains confident in its ability to maintain strong market performance and continue its long-term growth.
Both companies are showing strong momentum in the automotive sector, signaling a positive outlook for the future of automotive electronics. As the demand for connected and smart vehicles continues to rise, the semiconductor industry is well-positioned to benefit from this trend.
