ON Semiconductor delivered strong Q3 results, with 11% revenue growth and 43% EPS growth, driven by industrial and AI data center demand. ON's operating leverage and margin expansion are impressive, but automotive segment weakness and ambitious 2030 targets temper enthusiasm. Acquisitions of Synaptics and Ferric add strategic value but introduce execution and integration risks, making valuation demands steep.

Data center revenue growth at a 4Y CAGR of +50% to >$3B and content value of $115K per rack by 2030 have been supported by ON's strategic acquisitions/R&D efforts. The higher fab utilization beyond the current levels of 83% may deliver the improved supply conditions and gross margin expansion from FQ1'27 onwards. Valuations are compelling post-selloff: ON trades at a P/E of 22.34x and a 3Y PEG of 0.61x, while offering >80% upside potential to my LTPT of $132.50.
ON Semiconductor's Q3'26 earnings and revenues beat estimates as AI data center growth surges, industrial demand strengthens and margins expand.
