Executive summary

Six listed automotive-semiconductor names carry a single group label, yet the CY2027E EV/Revenue multiple ranges from a 9.4x premium median to a 2.4x base median against a 5.1x sector median. The gap tracks expected revenue conversion rather than delivered profit, with growth estimates clustered near 24% across the set. A thin recorded deal tape shows two recent purchases of in-vehicle capability by broad-line strategic buyers, framing the build-versus-buy questions the strategic-implications section poses to owners, acquirers and boards.

Key findings

  • Two price tiers exist within one automotive-semiconductor group, not between groups
  • Premium pricing tracks expected revenue conversion, not delivered profit margin
  • Forward growth expectations cluster near 24%, but valuation multiples diverge widely
  • The recorded deal tape is thin, with recent buyers acquiring in-vehicle capability

    01 · THE BOTTOM LINE

    Automotive Semiconductors Is Priced in Tiers — and Tier Membership, Not the Sector Label, Sets the Conversation

    Summary page stating that automotive semiconductors price in tiers rather than by sector label.

    Across the rated names, the premium tier prices at a middle multiple of 9.4x on CY2027E revenue against 2.4x at the base, with a 5.1x sector median in between — all on the same forward-revenue standard. That gap sits inside a single group, not between separate industry categories, so the sector label alone tells a client very little about where a name will price. This page is the whole argument in miniature; everything after it supports or extends this read. So what: the conversation with any name in this group has to start with tier membership, not the industry tag.

Qualitative characterisations are NeuraCap views. Automotive Semiconductors Coverage | September 2026 | Confidential Sources & methodology 3 1 The Top End Prices at 9.4x, the Base at 2.4x The two names at the premium end carry a middle multiple of 9.4x on CY2027E revenue, against 2.4x for the two names at the base. Same group label, same revenue standard, and a price gap of that width as at the 15 September 2026 price date. 2 One Label, Six Names, No Shared Price All six listed names fall inside the single broad-line automotive-grade analog, power and discrete supplier group, so the label does no sorting work. Forward growth expectations sit in a narrow band — the middle of the set is 24% — while the prices sit nowhere near as close together. 3 The Premium Follows Expected Conversion, Not Delivered Profit Aeva Technologies, Inc. (AEVA) is priced at 11.9x CY2027E revenue on 75% expected growth, with no EBITDA margin recorded in this set. Where profit is already in the accounts, the price is lower — an association across the five priced names, not proof of cause. 4 The Deal Tape Is Thin and Every Recorded Buyer Is a Strategic One Three transactions sit in the tape, and the two recent ones are purchases of in-vehicle networking and link capability rather than earnings streams. Both are recorded as announced, so they evidence buyer intent and what capability is worth acquiring, not closed outcomes. 5.1x Sector median EV/Revenue CY2027E consensus · 5 rated of 6 companies 9.4x Premium tier median vs 2.4x discount top quartile (n=2) against bottom quartile (n=2) — the spread the report explains 3 Recorded transactions in this tier told as case studies in the deal section; the full tape is in the appendix

    One Group Holds Every Priced Name, so the Contrast Lives Inside It

    Map of six approved companies grouped by business segment, showing median EV/Revenue per group.

    All six approved companies fall into the same broad-line group, and the group median EV/Revenue sits at 5.1x. Because there's only one group, the group-level view can't explain the spread we see across individual names — it just confirms where to look next. So what: the real story is inside this single group, not across a sector taxonomy.

    Six Names, One Group Label, and a Price Range the Label Cannot Explain

    Segment view of the six-name universe showing a price range the group label doesn't explain.

    Six names carry one group label, yet their prices sit far apart even on the same CY2027E revenue basis, as the following valuation pages show. This page lays out what each company does, so clients can match the pricing pattern to real business differences rather than a label. So what: understanding this group means reading each name on its own merits, not on its segment tag.

The group spans scaled automotive-grade analog, power and discrete supply alongside pre-scale names whose value sits in a qualified design-win pipeline that only converts at start of production. The median price across the five names with a CY2027E multiple is 5.1x, which reads as a mid-point between two very different business shapes rather than a group norm.

    Two Price Worlds on One Forward Standard: The Top at 9.4x, the Base at 2.4x

    Chart ranking all rated companies by EV/Revenue (CY2027E), from a 9.4x top to a 2.4x base against a 5.1x median.

    On the same CY2027E revenue basis, the top of this set prices at 9.4x while the base prices at 2.4x, against a 5.1x sector median. That's two distinct price worlds sitting inside one industry label. So what: any conversation about where a name should trade needs to start with which of these two worlds it sits in, not with the sector average.

Automotive Semiconductors Coverage | September 2026 | Confidential Sources & methodology 8 PREMIUM · median 9.4x CORE · median 5.1x DISCOUNT · median 2.4x Sector median 5.1x WHAT SEPARATES THE TWO ENDS The top sells future revenue. The two names at the premium end carry a median multiple of 9.4x on CY2027E revenue, and neither has a recorded EBITDA margin in this set. What is being priced is programme conversion ahead of start of production rather than earnings already banked. The base sells delivered earnings. The two names at the discount end sit at a median of 2.4x, with margin already showing in the accounts. On the same forward standard, the lowest prices in this set attach to the most visible revenue, which is the inverse of the usual intuition. A forward lens already credits growth. A CY2027E revenue multiple has the expected ramp inside it, so a premium that still stands on the forward year is a statement about durability rather than slope. With only five priced names, treat the spread as the opening question on earnings quality, not a verdict.

    03 · VALUATION DRIVERS

    What the Price Gap Is Actually Paying For

    Page examining what the price gap between tiers appears to be paying for.

    We read the price gap as tracking expected revenue conversion and where margin is expected to land, based on the cohort medians shown here. This is an association across the rated names, not a proven cause of the pricing. So what: clients evaluating a name in this group should ask what evidence supports its expected conversion, not assume the multiple is arbitrary.

Cohort medians on rated names with the required estimates (faster n=0; slower n=0). Driver readings are NeuraCap views on the supplied data — association, not causation. Automotive Semiconductors Coverage | September 2026 | Confidential Sources & methodology 9 Designed-in Sockets, Not Order Intake, Set the Floor Programme awards become revenue only at start of production, so the price spread inside this group tracks how much of the forward plan is already designed in at named platforms. The middle of the forward growth range is 24% across the five names with estimates — a narrow band behind prices this far apart. Margin Is Where This Group Genuinely Separates Recorded EBITDA margins run from 15% to 30% across the three names that carry both a multiple and a margin. Silicon-level capture versus module and system assembly mix is the practitioner explanation for a gap that wide, and it is testable product family by product family. Qualification Pedigree Is the Barrier Buyers Pay to Skip Automotive-grade qualification, functional-safety scope and part-approval status decide which sockets a supplier can even bid for, and they cannot be compressed to suit a buyer's timetable. That is the practical reason capability purchases keep appearing in the tape alongside internal development. Destock Noise and Programme Loss Look Alike in the Quarter Tier-one and channel inventory weeks can flatten reported revenue while a design-win book stays intact, and the reverse is also possible. Separating programme-driven revenue from inventory-driven revenue is the single most useful disclosure-independent operating discipline in this group.

So what: the quadrant a name falls into frames the questions worth asking about it, before any valuation conclusion is drawn.

    03 · THE AGENDA

    Four Questions the Price Gap Puts to an Owner in This Group

    Page framing four questions the price gap raises for an owner in this group.

    We've framed four questions this pricing pattern puts to an owner in this group — on program conversion, margin location, platform concentration and build-versus-buy. These are observations grounded in the cohort data, not recommendations for any specific transaction. So what: they're the starting checklist for any owner or acquirer trying to understand where a name's price could move next.

All content on this page is Directional — NeuraCap advisory judgment grounded in the cohort data shown earlier. It does not constitute investment advice. Automotive Semiconductors Coverage | September 2026 | Confidential Sources & methodology 11 How Much of the CY2027E Ramp Is Already Designed In? A forward revenue standard credits the ramp before it arrives, so the owner's question is what share of the plan rests on awarded sockets with named start-of-production dates versus pipeline still to be won. That mix, rather than the growth rate, is what a premium has to survive. What changes the answer: Share of the forward revenue plan covered by awarded programmes. Does Margin Land at the Silicon or at the Module? As architectures centralise, the same content can be sold as a chip or as an assembled box, and the two carry very different gross margins. Deciding where to compete on each platform is a pricing and mix decision with a direct read-through to how the set is valued. What changes the answer: Gross margin by product family as module content in the mix moves. What Is Single-Platform Concentration Costing in Price? Dual-sourcing mandates cap share on any one platform and programme delays hit concentrated books hardest, which is why concentration reads as a detractor in this group. Broadening the platform base is an operating programme with a multi-year lead time, not a quarterly fix. What changes the answer: Share of revenue on the largest platform and the re-sourcing calendar. Build the Missing Capability or Buy It? Both recent entries in the tape show broad-line buyers purchasing in-vehicle capability rather than qualifying it internally, which sets a reference for the build-versus-buy calculus. The deciding variable is whether an internal path can reach qualification inside the programme timeline. What changes the answer: Whether internal development can reach part approval before the award date.

    All three recorded transactions in this tape are told here as case studies, with multiples on LTM financials at announcement where disclosed. Several tape records carry data-quality flags, so figures are shown exactly as recorded in the filings rather than adjusted. These deal multiples sit on a different basis than the CY2027E public multiples shown earlier, so no spread is claimed between them. So what: the pattern across recent deals is buyers purchasing in-vehicle capability directly rather than building it internally.

Deal multiples are LTM at announcement (Definitive, from filings); they are not directly comparable to the CY2027E public basis and no spread is claimed. "Why the deal happened" is a NeuraCap read of the recorded evidence. Automotive Semiconductors Coverage | September 2026 | Confidential Sources & methodology 13 Apr-2025 $2.5B Infineon Technologies AG Infineon Technologies AG steps into automotive Ethernet at $2.5B EV / LTM revenue n/a EV / LTM EBITDA n/a WHY THE DEAL HAPPENED The transaction suggests a buyer choosing to purchase an in-vehicle networking position rather than qualify one inside a vehicle programme timeline. Recorded as announced with divestiture roles reassigned, it has the shape of a carve-out where transition services and wafer supply arrangements will carry a real share of the economics. HOW THE TARGET WAS VALUED The tape records $2.5B of value as filed, with no revenue or EBITDA multiple disclosed and the value unit unresolved. It therefore benchmarks what a qualified networking franchise commanded rather than giving a multiple that can be set against the listed set. Dec-2024 $242M NXP Semiconductors N.V. NXP Semiconductors N.V. adds Aviva Links for $242M EV / LTM revenue n/a EV / LTM EBITDA n/a WHY THE DEAL HAPPENED The purchase reads as a capability and intellectual-property addition: a private target bought by a broad-line supplier that wants the link technology inside its own platform roadmap. Status is recorded as announced, so the logic is visible in the pairing rather than in realised results. HOW THE TARGET WAS VALUED Disclosed value is $242M with no revenue or EBITDA multiple recorded and the value unit unresolved. Against the priced listed names it sits as a capability price point, which is how the tape values assets whose worth lives in qualification and design-win position. Aug-2014 n/a International Rectifier acquires Infineon Technologies AG EV / LTM revenue 2.0x EV / LTM EBITDA n/a WHY THE DEAL HAPPENED The Aug-2014 entry is recorded with International Rectifier as acquirer and Infineon Technologies AG as target, which is how the tape holds it. As a whole-company transaction it suggests consolidation of scaled device supply rather than a capability tuck-in, and the age of the record limits how far that reading travels. HOW THE TARGET WAS VALUED The recorded multiple is 2.0x revenue, with no enterprise value captured (n/a). That sits near the discount end of today's forward revenue standard, though the two are different vintages and different bases, so the comparison is directional only.

    For owners, the operating agenda is mix, platform breadth and pricing discipline; for acquirers, diligence centers on award documentation and qualification timing; for boards, the useful comparison is name by name, not sector average.

Automotive Semiconductors Coverage | September 2026 | Confidential Sources & methodology 15 FOR OWNERS Conversion Evidence, Not the Category Label, Tracks the Price Every name in this set carries the same group label and the prices are far apart, so the differentiator sits inside the business: awarded sockets, content per vehicle and where margin lands. The operating agenda is mix, platform breadth and pricing discipline through the annual price-down that a long programme lifetime carries. FOR ACQUIRERS The Tape Prices Capability, and Diligence Is Engineering Diligence Both recent recorded transactions are capability purchases by broad-line suppliers, with no multiples disclosed, which is the convention when value sits in qualification status and design-win position. Underwriting concentrates on start-of-production timing, award documentation and the supply and transition schedules that govern a carve-out. FOR BOARDS AND INVESTORS One Label Is Not One Asset Class Reading this group as a single sector average blends scaled profitable supply with pre-scale names whose revenue is still ahead of them. With five priced names and three carrying both a multiple and a margin, the useful comparison is name by name on conversion and mix rather than group to group.

    The Full Deal Tape, Newest First

    Appendix table of the full recorded deal tape, newest first.

    The full tape of three recorded transactions sits here, newest first, with deal values linked to the underlying filings where available. Several records carry data-quality flags, and are shown as recorded rather than adjusted. So what: this is the complete evidentiary base behind the deal-tape observations made earlier.

    06 · PRECEDENT TRANSACTIONS (1 OF 1) The Full Deal Tape, Newest First 3 recorded transactions in this tier · multiples on LTM financials at announcement where disclosed · deal values link to the underlying filing · as of 2026-09-15 Source: NeuraCap analytics platform; market data and consensus estimates as of 2026-09-15; company disclosures via SEC EDGAR where linked. 4 tape record(s) carry data-quality flags (deal value unit unresolved; divestiture roles reassigned; parent financials detached); figures are shown as recorded in the filing. Deal multiples are LTM at announcement (Definitive, from filings); they are not directly comparable to the CY2027E public basis and no spread is claimed. Automotive Semiconductors Coverage | September 2026 | Confidential Sources & methodology 18 Date Transaction EV EV/LTM Rev EV/LTM EBITDA Why it matters Apr-2025 Infineon Technologies AG → automotive Ethernet business (unit of Marvell Automotive Ethernet Business) $2.5B n/a n/a Infineon Technologies AG is recorded in Apr-2025 acquiring the automotive Ethernet business (unit of Marvell Automotive Ethernet Business), status announced. The filing carries an unresolved value unit, reassigned divestiture roles and detached parent financials, so read the structure rather than the arithmetic. Dec-2024 NXP Semiconductors N.V. → Aviva Links $242M n/a n/a NXP Semiconductors N.V. is recorded in Dec-2024 acquiring Aviva Links, status announced. A named private target with no disclosed revenue or earnings multiple is the standard shape when a broad-line supplier buys an in-vehicle link capability it would otherwise qualify from scratch. Aug-2014 International Rectifier → Infineon Technologies AG n/a 2.0x n/a The Aug-2014 entry is recorded with International Rectifier as acquirer and Infineon Technologies AG as target, carried on a revenue multiple with no enterprise value captured. It is a decade old, so treat it as a reference point for what whole companies fetched, not as current evidence.

    Sources, Assumptions and Data Quality

    Page setting out the report's sources, assumptions and data-quality treatment.

    This page sets out how the comparable and deal-tape figures were assembled, which multiples were excluded from the plausibility gates, and where each underlying disclosure can be traced. It's here so any figure elsewhere in the report can be checked against its source. So what: clients can verify any number in this deck against the filing or estimate behind it.

Sources and methodology

This report covers Automotive Semiconductors (Information Technology › Semiconductors and Semiconductor Equipment › Automotive Semiconductors) with market data and consensus estimates as of September 15, 2026. The company universe is the 6 listed companies whose core business is Automotive Semiconductors according to NeuraCap's industry classification of each company's reported business segments (a company is included only when this industry is central to what it does, not merely adjacent to it). Companies in the set: Aeva Technologies, Inc. (AEVA), ALGM, ARBE, INDI, STMicroelectronics N.V. (STM), VLN. The market map groups them by business vertical — Broad-line automotive-grade analog, power and discrete suppliers: 6 companies (STM, ALGM, INDI, AEVA, ARBE, VLN). 5 of the 6 companies carry a valid multiple on the primary valuation basis and form the rated set behind every cohort statistic; the others are shown but do not enter the statistics.

What was excluded and why

29 records failed a validation gate and never feed a statistic in this report (1 excluded from universe; 25 excluded from aggregate; 3 quarantined). Each exclusion, with its reason: NXPI — The ticker NXPI carries a preferred, warrant or unit suffix and the security name gives no sign of an operating company (effect: excluded from universe) · AEVA — EBITDA is non-positive; EV/EBITDA is n/m (effect: excluded from aggregate) · AEVA — EBITDA is non-positive; EV/EBITDA is n/m (effect: excluded from aggregate) · AEVA — Implied EBITDA margin -341.8% outside the plausible band [-100%, 80%] (effect: quarantined) · AEVA — EBITDA is non-positive; EV/EBITDA is n/m (effect: excluded from aggregate) · AEVA — Implied EBITDA margin -187.4% outside the plausible band [-100%, 80%] (effect: quarantined) · AEVA — Non-positive EPS; P/E is n/m (effect: excluded from aggregate) · AEVA — Non-positive EPS; P/E is n/m (effect: excluded from aggregate) · AEVA — Non-positive EPS; P/E is n/m (effect: excluded from aggregate) · AEVA — Non-positive EPS; P/E is n/m (effect: excluded from aggregate) · ALGM — Non-positive EPS; P/E is n/m (effect: excluded from aggregate) · ARBE — EBITDA is non-positive; EV/EBITDA is n/m (effect: excluded from aggregate) · ARBE — Implied EBITDA margin -3663.7% outside the plausible band [-100%, 80%] (effect: quarantined) · ARBE — Non-positive EPS; P/E is n/m (effect: excluded from aggregate) · ARBE — Non-positive EPS; P/E is n/m (effect: excluded from aggregate) · ARBE — Non-positive EPS; P/E is n/m (effect: excluded from aggregate) · ARBE — Non-positive EPS; P/E is n/m (effect: excluded from aggregate) · INDI — EBITDA is non-positive; EV/EBITDA is n/m (effect: excluded from aggregate) · INDI — EBITDA is non-positive; EV/EBITDA is n/m (effect: excluded from aggregate) · INDI — Non-positive EPS; P/E is n/m (effect: excluded from aggregate) · INDI — Non-positive EPS; P/E is n/m (effect: excluded from aggregate) · INDI — Non-positive EPS; P/E is n/m (effect: excluded from aggregate) · VLN — EBITDA is non-positive; EV/EBITDA is n/m (effect: excluded from aggregate) · VLN — EBITDA is non-positive; EV/EBITDA is n/m (effect: excluded from aggregate) · VLN — EBITDA is non-positive; EV/EBITDA is n/m (effect: excluded from aggregate) · further items are listed in the companion tables.

Primary valuation basis and how it was chosen

Primary valuation basis: EV / Revenue on CY2027E consensus (5 of 6 companies eligible; multiples failing the platform's plausibility gates are excluded, never plotted). EV / Revenue on CY2027E is the lead convention: it is the sector-appropriate prior for Automotive Semiconductors and it clears the coverage gate with 6 of 6 companies (100%). EV / EBITDA, P / E are carried as a cross-check. The basis is selected in two steps: the industry's customary valuation conventions set the order of preference, and each convention is then tested for coverage — the share of companies with a valid, plausibility-checked multiple on the chosen period. A convention is used only when enough companies carry it; the best-covered convention is used, and disclosed, when none clears the threshold. Coverage measured for this report — EV / EBITDA: 3 of 6 companies; EV / rEVenue: 6 of 6 companies; P/E: 2 of 6 companies. 1 company shows a non-meaningful EV / EBITDA denominator and is excluded from that statistic. 3 companies show a non-meaningful P / E denominator and are excluded from that statistic.

How the multiples and statistics are computed

Enterprise value (EV) is market capitalisation at the as-of date plus total debt minus cash and equivalents from the latest reported balance sheet, reconciled against the platform's stored value and disclosed where the two differ. Forward multiples divide EV (or the share price for P/E) by the consensus estimate for the stated calendar period; trailing multiples use the last twelve months of reported figures from SEC filings. A multiple with a negative or immaterial denominator is treated as not meaningful and excluded from every statistic. Cohort statistics are medians and quartiles over the rated set only; a group median with fewer than three observations is shown as the single company's figure and labelled as such. Valuation tiers cut the rated set at its quartiles (tiers cut at the rated set's quartiles: Premium ≥6.8x, Core 2.5x–6.8x, Discount <2.5x — NeuraCap groupings). Revenue growth compares consecutive calendar-year consensus revenue; EBITDA margin divides consensus EBITDA by consensus revenue for the same period. Figures shown in this report and the calculation behind each: 5.1x = median(ev_revenue CY2027E) (5 rated companies) · 9.4x = median(ev_revenue CY2027E) within Premium tier (n=2) · 5.1x = median(ev_revenue CY2027E) within Core tier (n=1) · 2.4x = median(ev_revenue CY2027E) within Discount tier (n=2)

Precedent transactions: what is on the tape and why

The precedent tape holds the M&A transactions in Automotive Semiconductors recorded from SEC filings (8-K announcements and the documents they reference), newest first, with each value and multiple linked to the exact passage in the filing that states it. 3 transactions were recorded for this industry; 3 are shown. Deal multiples are enterprise value over the target's last-twelve-month revenue or EBITDA at announcement, as disclosed; they are not restated to the public basis and no spread to the public multiples is claimed. Before a transaction reaches the tape it passes a screen for mirrored or duplicate filings of the same deal, for divestitures where the filer is the seller rather than the buyer, for carve-outs recorded under the parent's name, and for values whose citation describes something other than the price paid (a debt raise, a termination fee); such records are corrected or excluded and the correction is noted. Data-quality notes on this tape: 2 × deal value unit unresolved; 1 × divestiture roles reassigned; 1 × parent financials detached. Case studies lead with the 3 richest stories — disclosed value, a readable multiple, newest first.

Sources

Company financials and transaction terms come from the companies' own SEC filings on EDGAR (10-K, 10-Q and 8-K documents), linked from each figure in the report. Forward figures are analyst consensus estimates for the calendar periods shown. Share prices and market capitalisations are market data as of September 15, 2026. Treasury yields are published by the U.S. Department of the Treasury. 252 source documents stand behind this report; by publisher domain: sec.gov, home.treasury.gov (1). Every figure on every page is traceable to one of these records; nothing in the report is derived from outside data.
