Upturn Advisory & Investor View for ON

09/15/2026: ON (2-star) is currently NOT-A-BUY. Pass it for now.

ON Semiconductor Corporation is a prominent global manufacturer specializing in intelligent power and sensing technologies primarily for the automotive and industrial sectors. The company has successfully pivoted from a broad-based commodity supplier to a focused specialist with a strong competitive advantage in vertically integrated Silicon Carbide production. Its growth narrative is centered on the ongoing shift to electric vehicles and industrial automation. However, investors must monitor cyclical demand risks and aggressive competition in the power semiconductor space. The stock may best suit growth-oriented investors looking for exposure to electrification, though the absence of a dividend and susceptibility to market volatility are key considerations.

Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

ON receives a 4-star rating, supported by solid unit economics, and strong analyst coverage. The rating is constrained by weak price momentum.

Company Fundamentals

ON has moderate overall fundamentals (3 stars), with solid financial health, soft growth momentum, and solid ownership. In FY2025 versus FY2024, strong cash generation (FCF margin 23.7%) is partially offset by negative earnings growth (-92.3%), negative revenue growth (-15.3%), soft profitability (net margin 2.0%).

Financial Health Rating

ON's financial health is supported by strong cash strength, including free-cash-flow generation of $1.4B (23.7% of revenue). Profitability is moderate (3 stars), which helps explain the 4-star overall score.

Growth Momentum Score

Free-cash-flow growth is ON's strongest growth driver at +17.0% FY2025 versus FY2024 (solid, 4 stars). By comparison, while revenue growth (-15.3%, negative) and earnings growth (-92.3%, negative) hold the profile back, so recent growth is not broad-based across the business.

Ownership

Institutional ownership is 106.0% and approximately 99.6% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable, supporting liquidity and institutional participation. Insider ownership is only 0.33%, which materially reduces the ownership score.

Top 5 Institutional Investors

FMR Inc 14.94%
BlackRock Inc 10.25%
Vanguard Capital Management, LLC 6.58%
Vanguard Portfolio Management, LLC 5.15%
State Street Corp 4.70%

Unit Economics (Per $1K Revenue)

ON generates approximately $323 of gross profit, $125 of operating income, and $237 of free cash flow for every $1,000 of revenue. Based on FY2025 results. Strong cash conversion and healthy margins support the rating, although capital efficiency remains below the highest tier.

Economic Dimensions

Effective Tax Rate: 5.86%

Quantitative Style Profile

ON has a large-cap, liquid profile. Weak momentum is the primary drawback, while valuation that is moderately attractive rather than deeply discounted.
