ON Semiconductor (ON) launched the agency’s second quarter monetary efficiency on Monday morning. The numbers revealed weren’t simply good, they broke data. For the three month interval ending July 1st, ON Semiconductor posted adjusted EPS of $1.34 (GAAP EPS of $1.02) on income of $2.085B.
Whereas the adjusted EPS print was good for annual development of 112.7% and the GAAP EPS print good for annual development of 142.9%, the income print was not solely adequate for a brand new report, however adequate for yr over yr development of 25.1%.

Free money move for the interval did drop to $202.7M from $383.2M for the one yr in the past interval, as purchases of property, and gear greater than doubled from $104.8M to $218.1M.
Section Gross sales Efficiency
PSG (Energy Options Group), which produces analog, discrete, module, and built-in semiconductor merchandise… skilled 25% gross sales development to $1.057B.
ASG (Superior Options Group), which designs and develops superior logic merchandise with particular purposes… skilled 18% gross sales development to $716.7M.
ISG (Clever Sensing Group), which designs and develops metallic oxide sensors, sign processors and photon detectors… skilled 44% gross sales development to $311.3M.
Present Quarter Outlook
For the agency’s third quarter, ON Semiconductor sees income printing in a variety spanning from $2.07B to $2.17B, which on the mid-point could be good for yr over yr development of 21.7% and is above the Wall Avenue consensus view of $2.01B.
Gross margin is seen at 48% to 50%. Complete bills are seen at $325M to $340M together with $6M in particular gadgets. Adjusted EPS is projected at $1.25 to $1.37, which strikes the mid-point nicely above the $1.26 that Wall Avenue was in search of. GAAP EPS is seen at $1.23 to $1.35.
Steadiness Sheet
ON Semiconductor ended the interval with a internet money place of $1.792B and present property of $4.785B. These two entries are up considerably over six months. Inventories ended the quarter at $1.563B, which is above the ON Semiconductor norm, however to not a big diploma. Present liabilities are up extra modestly to $1.713B together with $165.2M in long-term debt labeled as “present.” This leaves the agency with a present ratio of two.79, which could be very wholesome. Ex-inventories, the agency’s fast ratio involves a nonetheless fairly strong 1.88.
Complete property add as much as $10.789B together with “goodwill” and different intangibles that quantity to $2.268B or 21% of whole property. That is larger than I like, however actually not outlandish by right this moment’s requirements. Complete liabilities much less fairness involves $5.379B together with $3.047B in long-term debt. I want to see this quantity lowered, however it is a clear stability sheet. ON Semiconductor may have no downside assembly brief to medium-term obligations.
My Ideas
The quarter was wonderful. Money flows are flowing. Steerage was strong. The stability sheet is in good condition. The inventory closed on Friday buying and selling at 13 occasions ahead trying earnings, due to this fact this isn’t an costly fairness. But, the inventory bought off arduous (-5.3%) forward of Monday’s opening bell, and remained decrease in early buying and selling.
That both implies that traders see a glut in provides of automotive chips that are a big a part of what ON Semiconductor does. Both that, or traders count on customers to again away from buying and leasing new autos now that the economic system has gone into recession. That is a definite risk.
These shares have been buying and selling in a barely downward sloping buying and selling vary just about all yr. Even on Friday’s run, the inventory revered the higher pattern line, as each Relative Energy and the Full Stochistics Oscillator betrayed a technically overbought situation. Does one purchase this dip? I feel possibly one can so long as one stays absolutely cognizant of the place the inventory is buying and selling and the place the 200 day SMA ($58) is.
As merchants take earnings, it will likely be key to see if portfolio managers step in at or above that line. I feel an investor/dealer holding money may proceed on this means… including right down to $58. That stated, ought to that investor see these shares crack that stage, be ready to chop this identify free, no matter revenue/loss.
