Watch: Watch for Q1 2026 revenue and gross margin guidance — the first real test of whether the product mix shift and new offerings are gaining traction with OEMs. Without clear sequential improvement or customer wins in SiC/GaN, the "affirmed bullish outlook" risks looking like analyst hope rather than hard demand signals.
Onsemi reported late 2025 results showing near-term business contraction, but analysts affirm a bullish outlook for a growth rebound. The recovery rests on three pillars: improved operational quality, new product launches, and a favorable shift toward higher-margin SiC and GaN power-switching chips for industrial and automotive applications. This mix improvement could drive accelerated earnings growth once the near-term trough passes.
ON is positioned for a structural earnings inflection as the market rotates toward wide-bandgap semiconductors for EV powertrains and industrial electrification. If SiC and GaN adoption accelerates through 2026, Onsemi's margin profile could expand materially — this is a high-stakes bet on industrial semiconductor demand, not a near-term recovery play.
