Did ON Beat Earnings? Q4 2025 Results
ON Semiconductor navigated a bruising revenue environment in Q4 2025 with a modest earnings beat, posting non-GAAP EPS of $0.64 against a consensus estimate of $0.62, a 2.63% beat, even as revenue of $1.53 billion fell just short of the $1.54 billion analyst expectation and declined 11.2% year-over-year. The primary culprit behind the top-line pressure was a broad semiconductor industry downturn that squeezed pricing and drove elevated underutilization costs, compressing non-GAAP gross margin to 38.2% from 45.3% a year ago. For the full year, all three business segments retreated, with revenue falling to $6.00 billion from $7.08 billion in 2024. Against that backdrop, onsemi generated a record $1.42 billion in free cash flow, returning the entirety to shareholders via repurchases. Barclays recently initiated coverage with an equal-weight rating and a $75 price target, flagging high automotive and China exposure as key risks. Looking ahead, management guided Q1 2026 revenue to $1.44 billion to $1.53 billion, projecting sequential stabilization as key markets show early signs of recovery.
- Increasing signs of stabilization in key automotive and industrial markets
- Record free cash flow margin of 24% for full year 2025
- Cost structure improvements and operational discipline
- Major investment cycle completion with new technologies ramping
“We remained disciplined in our execution and met expectations in the fourth quarter as we saw increasing signs of stabilization in our key markets.”
