NASDAQ: ON · Semiconductors

ON Semiconductor

ON Semiconductor (brand onsemi), based in Scottsdale, Arizona, makes intelligent power and intelligent sensing semiconductors for automotive, industrial and other end-markets, including AI data centers. Its three segments are the Power Solutions Group (PSG, including silicon carbide), the Analog and Mixed-Signal Group (AMG) and the Intelligent Sensing Group (ISG, image sensors). Revenue fell for a second year to $5,995 million in 2025 (from $8,326 million in 2022) as automotive revenue dropped to $3,081 million; restructuring, about 2,400 job cuts and $268 million of excess and obsolete inventory charges cut net income to $121 million. Revenue recovered in 2026: second-quarter revenue was $1,604 million (+9%) and net income $227 million. In June 2026 onsemi agreed to acquire Synaptics, first for 1.350 onsemi shares per Synaptics share and, under an October 1, 2026 amended agreement, for $123 per share in cash. It issued $1.5 billion of 0% convertible notes due 2031 in May 2026. It pays no dividend.

    Revenue grew +2.7% a year over 5 years (modest growth)

    From $5.26B in FY2020 to $6B in FY2025. The annualized rate (CAGR) makes it possible to compare growth pace across companies of different sizes.

  • ▼

    Operating margin declined: 6.6% → 1.4%

    How much operating profit is left per $100 of revenue. It moved -5.2 points over 5 years — pricing power, cost control, and product mix all show up here.

  • ▲

    Equity ratio is 61.3% (a high level of financial stability)

    The share of total assets funded by equity rather than debt. 50%+ is often read as low bankruptcy risk, though the right level varies by industry (real estate and leasing run lower, for instance).

  • ▲

    Free cash flow was positive in 6 of 6 years

    Operating cash flow minus capital expenditures: the cash left over after funding the business’s own investment, available for dividends, buybacks, acquisitions, or debt paydown. A negative year can mean heavy investment, or weak core earnings — worth distinguishing.

  • ▲

    ROE averaged 19.7% over 6 years (latest: 1.5%)

    How much profit was generated on shareholders’ equity. Roughly 10%+ is often cited as solid for a U.S. company, though this varies a lot by industry and capital intensity.

Is ROIC above WACC?From SEC data

ROIC (the return on money invested in the business) above WACC (the cost of raising that money) means the company is creating value. WACC is an estimate, so its assumptions can be adjusted below.

What the price implies (DCF)From SEC data

A company's value can be written as its free cash flow divided by (cost of capital − perpetual growth). Working that backwards from the market's valuation shows how much growth the share price assumed — compared here with the company's actual past growth.

Growth the price implies (price on 2026-11-04)

7.3%

Perpetual FCF growth: g = r − FCF ÷ EV = 12.1% − 4.8%

Past FCF growth (FY2020–FY2025)

+23.2%

Compound annual rate, 5 years

Past revenue growth (FY2020–FY2025)

+2.7%

Compound annual rate, 5 years

Inputs (FY2025): free cash flow $1.42B (operating CF − capex); enterprise value $29.6B = market cap $29.16B (latest close, 2026-11-04) + debt $2.98B − cash and short-term investments $2.55B; r = WACC of 12.1% using this page’s default assumptions (β 1.55, risk-free 5.0%, market premium 5.5%).

Three WACC scenarios

The same calculation under cautious, base and optimistic cost-of-capital assumptions (risk-free rate fixed at the 10-year Treasury yield). Pick one to load it into the sliders below.

Try your own assumptions

V = FCF ÷ (r − g). It starts at the implied growth rate, where the theoretical value equals today’s enterprise value.

Theoretical enterprise value

$29.55B

FCF $1.42B ÷ (12.1% − 7.3%)

Theoretical ÷ actual enterprise value

1.00x

Below 1x: these assumptions value the business below the market did

How sensitive the answer is

Theoretical ÷ actual enterprise value for each combination of r and g.

g \ r10.1%11.1%12.1%13.1%14.1%

6%1.17x0.94x0.79x0.68x0.59x
8%2.28x1.55x1.17x0.94x0.79x

A simplified model for seeing what the market price assumes, not a forecast or a target price. It treats free cash flow as growing at one constant rate forever; the result swings widely with small changes in r and g, and is undefined when g reaches r. Free cash flow here is operating cash flow minus capex, which is after interest — a full DCF of enterprise value would use cash flow before interest. Market cap uses the latest close (2026-11-04) × shares at fiscal year-end; free cash flow and WACC inputs are from the latest fiscal year.

Earnings qualityFrom SEC dataShow

The same reported profit can mean different things depending on whether it's backed by cash, driven by the core business, or the result of a one-off item. Four checks below.

  • ✓

    Operating CF ÷ net income: averages 3.93x

Who holds the sharesFrom SEC dataShow

How much of the stock large institutional investors report owning on SEC Form 13F, how much the directors and executive officers hold (and how much of the vote they control), and roughly how much is left for individual investors. Shown next to beta so the holder mix can be read alongside how much the stock swings.

Institutions, insiders and everyone else, 13F holdings as of 2026-06-30

“Everyone else” is what remains after shares reported on Form 13F and shares held by directors and executive officers: mostly individual investors, plus non-insider families or foundations and smaller or foreign institutions. The figures have different dates and 13F reports count some shares twice — read it as an approximate split.

What changed in the risk factorsFrom SEC data

Paragraphs in the latest 10-K's Risk Factors that have little overlap with the year before, and paragraphs that were dropped.

New or substantially reworded (4)

  • We had one customer, a distributor, whose revenue accounted for approximately 11% and 10% of the total revenue for the years ended 2025 and 2024, respectively, across all reportable segments. Read more

    Although we are not dependent on any single customer, a significant disruption in key customer relationships could adversely affect our business. Further, we could experience fluctuations in our customer base or the mix of revenue by customer or end-market, as markets and strategies evolve.

  • We are exposed to risks related to the use of AI tools by us and others.

  • We are increasingly incorporating AI tools and capabilities into our business operations where we believe appropriate, which may subject us to significant competitive, legal, regulatory and other risks. Read more

    There can be no assurance that our use of AI tools will enhance our business operations or result in a benefit to us. Our competitors may be more successful in their use of AI tools, including by developing superior products or improving their operations with the assistance of AI. Additionally, there could be adverse impacts from inaccurate or flawed algorithms. Our use of AI tools could also result in the loss of confidential information or intellectual property or an inability to claim or enforce intellectual property rights, as well as subject us to risks related to intellectual property infringement or misappropriation, data privacy, cybersecurity, and the unauthorized use of Company…

  • On July 4, 2025, the U.S. government enacted the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (the “OBBBA”). Read more

    While we are subject to the Corporate Alternative Minimum Tax (“CAMT”), we currently have no CAMT liability. However, future changes in our financial results, business operations, or the interpretation and implementation of the OBBBA could result in a CAMT liability in subsequent periods.

No longer in the text (2)

  • In relation to production of SiC-based products and manufacturing at EFK and at our facilities in Hudson, New Hampshire, the Czech Republic and South Korea, we may face challenges or risks related to: Read more

    increased capital spending and long-term capital expenditure commitments, installing and qualifying new manufacturing equipment, meeting planned process yields, maintaining suitable quality control and educating or providing employees with the requisite know-how to operate the processes at our expanded manufacturing facilities. There are inherent execution risks in expanding production capacity, whether at one of our own factories or at a third party that we utilize, all of which could increase our costs and negatively impact our operating results.

  • In addition, to streamline our operations and for efficiency purposes, we are pursuing a number of actions, including the outsourcing of certain internal business processes and the deployment of enhanced end-to-end digital processes (which, in some cases, include the use of AI) for certain business use cases. Such opportunities for improvement and enhanced productivity bring risks associated with managing change, transition costs, and the potential for reduced productivity or user error, in addition to those risks specific to each new process.
