Special Report
onsemi Stock Dips After Earnings: Why the Dip Is BuyableAuthor: Thomas Hughes. Published: 5/5/2026. 
Key Points
- onsemi has passed through its business trough and is on the upswing, with acceleration ahead.
- Cash flow is strong, supporting a healthy capital return, with buybacks accelerating in Q1.
- Acceleration is forecast for Q2 and guidance is likely to be cautious.
- Special Report: Elon Musk already made me a “wealthy man”
onsemi’s (NASDAQ: ON) stock surged in April as signs of broad-based improvement in industrial semiconductor demand gripped the market. The move raises red flags, as its parabolic advance is unsustainable unless there are forces supporting it. In this case, onsemi has numerous factors working in its favor, pointing not only to fresh highs but also to a sustainable, long-lasting uptrend that could add significant value to its share price.
A little-known stock pick with money-doubling potential over the next year is revealed for free in the first three minutes of a new video. This company is a critical piece of Elon Musk's fast-growing Starlink technology. It could climb 100 percent or more over the next year as Elon brings Starlink public in what may be the biggest IPO in history. No credit card is required to get the ticker.

While AI and datacenter demand underpin the outlook, the recovery is broad-based, with strength emerging in automotive, industrial, and Internet of Things (IoT) markets. The key takeaway is that data centers and AI are driving advances across all other areas, and AI is still in its earliest and most applicable phases. This suggests a multiyear cycle at minimum. At best, onsemi and industrial chip makers are looking at a decade-long or longer supercycle with potential for positive feedback loops to form. Advances are likely to come quickly as AI adoption gains traction, leading to increasingly short upgrade cycles. onsemi Inflects to Growth, Acceleration Aheadonsemi had a solid quarter with revenue growing 4.1%, the first top-line advance in more than two years. The result beat expectations by a narrow margin, about 130 basis points, with strength centered in the PSG segment. It grew 14%, supported by data center demand, which rose 30% sequentially and more than 100% year over year (YOY). ISG also grew, but by a modest 1%, while the AMG segment was the only weakness, declining 5%. Looking ahead, onsemi expects data center revenue to remain strong, as demand remains healthy and its business is broad-based, spanning numerous vendors and multiple hyperscalers. Margins were another area of strength. Operational improvements and renewed revenue leverage led to better-than-expected margins, with adjusted gross margin at 38.5% and operating income up 10%. Adjusted earnings also outpaced consensus estimates, more than doubling the top-line strength, and are expected to improve in the upcoming quarter. Guidance is a bullish catalyst for this stock. The company forecast revenue and earnings with midpoints above MarketBeat’s reported consensus, expecting adjusted gross margin to improve by 50 bps sequentially. The 70-cent midpoint is 3 cents above consensus and is likely to be cautious, given the strength seen in onsemi’s and other industrial chipmakers’ reports. onsemi Accelerates Capital Return: Analysts and Institutions Buy itonsemi’s share buyback raises a red flag, as it accelerated compared with last year and exceeded free cash flow for the quarter. However, it also signals management confidence in the company’s financial position, cash flow, and growth outlook, with a forecast of nearly 8% acceleration in the current quarter. Either way, the buyback is significant, having reduced the share count by 2% sequentially and nearly 6.5% YOY, and the balance sheet remains healthy. Balance sheet details reflect the aggressive buyback, including reduced cash, assets, and equity, but liabilities are also falling. The company remains well-capitalized, and leverage is very low. Long-term debt is about 1.5X the cash position and less than 0.5X equity, leaving onsemi in a flexible financial position and able to continue executing its strategy. Institutional and analyst trends show support for this market. Institutions own nearly 100% of the stock and have been accumulating on balance, setting the stage for the share price’s meteoric rise in April. Analysts, of which MarketBeat tracks 30, rate ON a consensus Hold, with a 45% Buy-side bias. The stock price action has outpaced the consensus price target as of early May, with positive trends continuing, including the initial analyst responses to the Q1 results and guidance update. One revision from Needham & Company LLC included a boosted price target of $110, well above the consensus price point. onsemi Pulled Back After Reporting: Buy the Dip Indicatedonsemi’s stock price pulled back 5% in after-hours trading following the report, indicating that a near-term peak may have been reached. As strong as the results were, the anticipated strength led to a sell-the-news event. With consensus still in the double digits below the peak, it is possible the sell-off will deepen before a rebound forms. However, a rebound is likely, given the company’s inflection and capital return; it is only a matter of how deep the stock price falls and how soon the bottom is reached. MACD convergence is also in play, strengthening the outlook for a rebound to fresh highs. The critical support levels are in the low $90s. 
The biggest risk is valuation. onsemi trades at over 33X current-year earnings, which prices in a robust outlook. Assuming that onsemi produces the expected growth, the 11X 2030 earnings multiple at which the stock trades looks deeply discounted, suggesting 100% to 200% upside could be possible. |
