Recent attention on ON Semiconductor (ON) has been driven by heightened share volatility, softer automotive and industrial demand, and unusual options activity that has sharpened focus on its push into power management, silicon carbide, and AI hardware.
See our latest analysis for ON Semiconductor.
That options activity and focus on higher value segments comes after a sharp reset last year, with a 1 year total shareholder return decline of 1.55%, even as the 90 day share price return of 21.38% points to momentum rebuilding from a lower base.
If ON Semiconductor’s mix of power, silicon carbide, and AI exposure has your attention, it may be worth scanning other chip names through high growth tech and AI stocks as a next step.
With ON Semiconductor’s shares rebounding 21.38% over 90 days but still showing a 1 year total return decline of 1.55%, is the reset already behind it, or could this be an entry point before markets fully price in future growth?
With ON Semiconductor closing at US$61.76 against a narrative fair value of US$58.70, the current price sits modestly above that framework, which is built on detailed revenue, margin and earnings assumptions extending out to 2028.
The company's strategic investments in silicon carbide (SiC), wide bandgap technologies, and advanced power management solutions for both automotive and AI data centers position it at the forefront of key structural growth markets; as these high-value products ramp, they are expected to enhance margins and drive long-term earnings growth.
Curious what kind of revenue path, margin rebuild and profit multiple are baked into that view, and how share count changes tie it together? The full narrative lays out the earnings step up, the assumed compression in the P/E ratio, and the discount rate used to pull all those numbers back to today. It is the underlying math behind the fair value, not just a headline target.
Result: Fair Value of $58.70 (OVERVALUED)
