$ON Semiconductor(ON)$ 

Stock Performance & Entry Point:

• Onsemi’s stock bottomed in late April 2025 and showed an attractive entry point in May.

• Though Q1 2025 results showed a 22% revenue contraction, they beat expectations and included raised guidance, suggesting growth to resume in 2026.

• The stock trades at 17x earnings (even lower on a forward basis) and offers an attractive risk-to-reward ratio.

Growth Drivers & Market Trends:

• Long-term growth is supported by key tailwinds: automotive tech, industrial digital tech, AI, and IoT.

• These sectors are expected to accelerate in the coming quarters despite ongoing macroeconomic headwinds, which are expected to dissipate over time.

Analyst & Institutional Sentiment:

• Analyst sentiment showed a steady decline in consensus price target but maintained a Hold rating with a bullish bias and 45% upside potential.

• The stock is bouncing from analysts’ low-end target range, implying a potential bottom.

• Q1 results and Q2 guidance may lead to price target increases, serving as a potential catalyst for a rebound.

• Institutional activity: Net selling in Q1, but resumed buying in early Q2, supporting the bottom thesis.

Q1 2025 Performance:

• Revenue declined across all segments:

• PSG: -26%

• ISG: -20%

• AMG: -19%

• Margins were significantly impacted, but:

• Cash from operations was $602M (>40% of revenue).

• Free cash flow (FCF) increased 70% to $455M.

• Over 60% of FCF used for share buybacks.

• Q1 share repurchases reduced count by 1.9% QoQ, 3.5% YoY.

Outlook & Guidance:

• Q2 2025 guidance: $1.45B in revenue (flat QoQ), with contraction slowing to 16%.

• CEO notes critical wins across all markets and indicates that positioning efforts are yielding results.

Financial Position & Shareholder Value:

• Equity down 1.6% in Q1 due to divestitures, repositioning, and buybacks.

• Nonetheless, low leverage, improving cash flows, and declining share count enhance investor value.

• Capital returns expected to remain sustainable, and investor leverage should build as business recovers.
