Is ON Semiconductor (NASDAQ:ON) a buy in 2026?
Hold. ON Semiconductor is a wait-and-watch at today's price, not a fresh buy.
Cycle bottom is real, the auto-SiC story is intact, but $107 already prices the recovery before customers re-stock.
Where ON is headed
Eighteen months from now, ON Semiconductor looks like a different company than the one Wall Street has been beating up since 2024. The Treo platform (their 65nm BCD process) is the bet that matters. If it works, ON stops being a commodity power chip vendor and becomes a designed-in analog partner for EVs, humanoid robots, and AI server power delivery. By late 2027, Treo should be contributing real revenue (management hints at $1B+ run-rate potential), gross margins should climb back toward the high-40s, and the Intelligent Sensing Group should be riding a second wave from ADAS Level 2+ becoming standard equipment on Chinese EVs and Western SUVs.
