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:

• 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.

Financial Position & Shareholder Value:
