Economic Moat

Evidence of durable competitive advantage in the filed financials (10 years of history).

No moat evidenceMoat evidence score: 36/100

The numbers don't show a durable competitive advantage — margins, growth, or returns on capital have been unstable or thin. Great returns are still possible; they just aren't protected.

A moat can't be proven by numbers alone — this scores the evidence a durable advantage leaves behind (pricing power, consistency, returns on capital), computed the same way for every stock. Pair it with the business overview before concluding anything.

Technical Analysis (Educational)
Research

Technical analysis reads price and volume to judge momentum and timing. It complements the fundamentals above — it does not replace them. Here is what ON's chart says today, with each tool explained.

Trend — moving averages. A moving average is the average closing price over a window, which smooths out daily noise. ON trades near $80.44, around its 50-day average ($110.69) and 200-day average ($71.04). Price tangled in its moving averages means there is no clear trend — the stock is ranging.

Momentum — RSI. The Relative Strength Index runs 0–100 and measures how strong recent gains are versus losses. Above 70 is "overbought", below 30 "oversold". At 38 it is in neutral territory — neither stretched nor washed out.

MACD. MACD compares two moving averages to flag shifts in momentum. Its histogram is currently negative — short-term momentum is fading.

Volatility — ATR. Average True Range is the typical daily move. ON's is $9.84 (~12.2% of price), so swings of about that size each day are normal — handy for setting a stop that isn't too tight.

Support & resistance. Over the last month ON found buyers near $86.47 (support) and sellers near $134.49 (resistance); its 52-week range is $44.56–$134.92. A decisive break beyond either edge often marks the next move.

Volume. The latest session traded 1.1× the 20-day average — about normal. Rising volume on up-days suggests real buying; on down-days, real selling.

Revenue moved from $3.91B in 2016 to $6.00B in 2025, a 4.9% compound annual growth rate. The most recent year declined 9.0% year over year. Shrinking revenue is worth a closer look — is it cyclical or structural?

ON Semiconductor keeps about 9.5% of each sales dollar as net profit, with a 33.1% gross margin and 1.4% operating margin. Return on equity is 7.4% and return on invested capital about 1.0%. Margins are moderate — typical of a competitive but profitable business.

In the latest year ON Semiconductor produced about $1.76B of operating cash flow and $1.42B of free cash flow after capital spending. That is a free-cash-flow yield of about 5.3% on today's price. Strong cash generation funds dividends, buybacks, and reinvestment.

ON trades at 55.7x trailing earnings (about 57.4x on estimated forward earnings), 7.8x sales, and 1.9x book value. Reverse-engineering today's price implies the market expects roughly 4.8% long-term free-cash-flow growth. That is a rich multiple that prices in a lot of future growth.

Educational model on sample fundamentals — not a forecast or investment advice. Outputs are only as good as your assumptions.

Bull Case

The case for ON:

  • Healthy free-cash-flow yield (~5.3%) funds buybacks and dividends.
  • A conservative balance sheet (debt/equity 0.4x) lowers risk.
Bear Case

The case against ON:

  • Revenue growth is slow/negative (-9.0%), limiting the upside engine.
  • Interest coverage is thin (1.1x), so debt costs bite.
  • A rich 55.7x earnings multiple prices in a lot of growth.
  • Our model's overall read is Weak (32/100).
Key Risks
Research

Valuation risk — at 55.7x earnings, disappointing results could compress the multiple.

Growth risk — sluggish revenue (-9.0%) leaves little margin for execution missteps.

Market risk — sector rotation, the economic cycle, and broad sentiment move the stock regardless of fundamentals.

Investment Thesis
Research

On balance, the fundamentals screen weakly: ON Semiconductor is a large-cap information technology business with shrinking revenue, with modest profitability, and a sound balance sheet. It trades at 55.7x earnings, which our model scores Weak (32/100). Weigh this against your own goals and time horizon — this is educational information, not a recommendation.
