NXP Semiconductors N.V. (NXPI)

TotalReturn:

'The total return on a portfolio of investments takes into account not only the capital appreciation on the portfolio, but also the income received on the portfolio. The income typically consists of interest, dividends, and securities lending fees. This contrasts with the price return, which takes into account only the capital gain on an investment.'

• The total return, or increase in value over 5 years of NXP Semiconductors N.V. is 68.5%, which is greater, thus better compared to the benchmark SPY (67.8%) in the same period.
• Looking at total return, or increase in value in of 98.4% in the period of the last 3 years, we see it is relatively higher, thus better in comparison to SPY (44.5%).

CAGR:

'The compound annual growth rate isn't a true return rate, but rather a representational figure. It is essentially a number that describes the rate at which an investment would have grown if it had grown the same rate every year and the profits were reinvested at the end of each year. In reality, this sort of performance is unlikely. However, CAGR can be used to smooth returns so that they may be more easily understood when compared to alternative investments.'

• The annual return (CAGR) over 5 years of NXP Semiconductors N.V. is 11%, which is higher, thus better compared to the benchmark SPY (10.9%) in the same period.
• Compared with SPY (13.1%) in the period of the last 3 years, the annual return (CAGR) of 25.7% is greater, thus better.

Volatility:

'In finance, volatility (symbol σ) is the degree of variation of a trading price series over time as measured by the standard deviation of logarithmic returns. Historic volatility measures a time series of past market prices. Implied volatility looks forward in time, being derived from the market price of a market-traded derivative (in particular, an option). Commonly, the higher the volatility, the riskier the security.'

• Looking at the historical 30 days volatility of 44.6% in the last 5 years of NXP Semiconductors N.V., we see it is relatively greater, thus worse in comparison to the benchmark SPY (21.4%)
• During the last 3 years, the volatility is 39.9%, which is greater, thus worse than the value of 18.8% from the benchmark.

DownVol:

'The downside volatility is similar to the volatility, or standard deviation, but only takes losing/negative periods into account.'

• Compared with the benchmark SPY (15.4%) in the period of the last 5 years, the downside risk of 30.6% of NXP Semiconductors N.V. is higher, thus worse.
• Looking at downside risk in of 27.2% in the period of the last 3 years, we see it is relatively greater, thus worse in comparison to SPY (13.3%).

Sharpe:

'The Sharpe ratio is the measure of risk-adjusted return of a financial portfolio. Sharpe ratio is a measure of excess portfolio return over the risk-free rate relative to its standard deviation. Normally, the 90-day Treasury bill rate is taken as the proxy for risk-free rate. A portfolio with a higher Sharpe ratio is considered superior relative to its peers. The measure was named after William F Sharpe, a Nobel laureate and professor of finance, emeritus at Stanford University.'

• The risk / return profile (Sharpe) over 5 years of NXP Semiconductors N.V. is 0.19, which is lower, thus worse compared to the benchmark SPY (0.39) in the same period.
• During the last 3 years, the Sharpe Ratio is 0.58, which is larger, thus better than the value of 0.56 from the benchmark.

Sortino:

'The Sortino ratio, a variation of the Sharpe ratio only factors in the downside, or negative volatility, rather than the total volatility used in calculating the Sharpe ratio. The theory behind the Sortino variation is that upside volatility is a plus for the investment, and it, therefore, should not be included in the risk calculation. Therefore, the Sortino ratio takes upside volatility out of the equation and uses only the downside standard deviation in its calculation instead of the total standard deviation that is used in calculating the Sharpe ratio.'

• The ratio of annual return and downside deviation over 5 years of NXP Semiconductors N.V. is 0.28, which is lower, thus worse compared to the benchmark SPY (0.55) in the same period.
• Compared with SPY (0.79) in the period of the last 3 years, the excess return divided by the downside deviation of 0.85 is higher, thus better.

Ulcer:

'Ulcer Index is a method for measuring investment risk that addresses the real concerns of investors, unlike the widely used standard deviation of return. UI is a measure of the depth and duration of drawdowns in prices from earlier highs. Using Ulcer Index instead of standard deviation can lead to very different conclusions about investment risk and risk-adjusted return, especially when evaluating strategies that seek to avoid major declines in portfolio value (market timing, dynamic asset allocation, hedge funds, etc.). The Ulcer Index was originally developed in 1987. Since then, it has been widely recognized and adopted by the investment community. According to Nelson Freeburg, editor of Formula Research, Ulcer Index is “perhaps the most fully realized statistical portrait of risk there is.'

• The Ulcer Index over 5 years of NXP Semiconductors N.V. is 21 , which is greater, thus worse compared to the benchmark SPY (9.46 ) in the same period.
• During the last 3 years, the Ulcer Index is 19 , which is larger, thus worse than the value of 10 from the benchmark.

MaxDD:

'A maximum drawdown is the maximum loss from a peak to a trough of a portfolio, before a new peak is attained. Maximum Drawdown is an indicator of downside risk over a specified time period. It can be used both as a stand-alone measure or as an input into other metrics such as 'Return over Maximum Drawdown' and the Calmar Ratio. Maximum Drawdown is expressed in percentage terms.'

• Compared with the benchmark SPY (-33.7 days) in the period of the last 5 years, the maximum DrawDown of -53.3 days of NXP Semiconductors N.V. is lower, thus worse.
• Looking at maximum drop from peak to valley in of -41.2 days in the period of the last 3 years, we see it is relatively lower, thus worse in comparison to SPY (-24.5 days).

MaxDuration:

'The Drawdown Duration is the length of any peak to peak period, or the time between new equity highs. The Max Drawdown Duration is the worst (the maximum/longest) amount of time an investment has seen between peaks (equity highs) in days.'

• Looking at the maximum days under water of 370 days in the last 5 years of NXP Semiconductors N.V., we see it is relatively higher, thus worse in comparison to the benchmark SPY (352 days)
• During the last 3 years, the maximum days under water is 370 days, which is greater, thus worse than the value of 352 days from the benchmark.

AveDuration:

'The Drawdown Duration is the length of any peak to peak period, or the time between new equity highs. The Avg Drawdown Duration is the average amount of time an investment has seen between peaks (equity highs), or in other terms the average of time under water of all drawdowns. So in contrast to the Maximum duration it does not measure only one drawdown event but calculates the average of all.'

• Looking at the average days under water of 127 days in the last 5 years of NXP Semiconductors N.V., we see it is relatively higher, thus worse in comparison to the benchmark SPY (78 days)
• During the last 3 years, the average time in days below previous high water mark is 109 days, which is larger, thus worse than the value of 102 days from the benchmark.
