Makes automotive, industrial and IoT semiconductors including microcontrollers, processors and secure connectivity chips.
Sells chips designed into cars and factory equipment, with revenue starting when a vehicle program goes into production and continuing over the model's life, often through distributors. Automotive is the largest end market. Formed from Philips' chip arm, it is headquartered in the Netherlands and merged with Freescale in 2015.
Moat: narrow (process know-how, customer qualification, IP / patents). Deep automotive design-in and long qualification cycles create switching costs, though semis remain cyclical.
