Meridian Funds made the following comment about ON Semiconductor Corporation (NASDAQ:ON) in its Q3 2022 investor letter:
“ON Semiconductor Corporation (NASDAQ:ON) is a semiconductor manufacturer with a diverse product portfolio and high exposure to the automotive and industrials end markets. ON Semi’s exposure to the auto end market is particularly attractive, as advanced driver assistance systems and self-driving features have led to strong demand for the semiconductors that power these technologies. The company is also well-positioned in the industrials end market, where it benefits from low pricing pressure due to the longer lifecycle of industrials products relative to consumer products. Outperformance was also driven by the success of the company’s silicon carbide (SiC) based solutions which are in high demand from electric vehicle manufacturers. In 2022, revenue from SiC-based products is expected to triple from 2021 levels. ON reported a strong second quarter with 25% revenue growth and a record gross margin of nearly 50%. During the quarter, we trimmed our exposure in the stock as it approached our price target.”
