Movement Alert|ON Semiconductor Falls 5.01% in Regular Trading, Multiple Institutions Cut Target Prices Post-Q2 Beat Triggering Profit-Taking

Market Focus08-06

On August 6, ON Semiconductor fell 5.01% in regular trading, trading at $76.9/share, with turnover of $968 million. The stock gave back post-earnings gains as multiple Wall Street firms slashed their target prices despite maintaining positive ratings, triggering broad profit-taking.

Following Q2 results that beat consensus — adjusted EPS of $0.74 vs. $0.71 expected, revenue of $1.60 billion vs. $1.59 billion expected — several institutions cut targets significantly: Citigroup lowered to $98 from $120 (Neutral), Wells Fargo to $110 from $130 (Overweight), Needham to $116 from $130 (Buy), Mizuho to $110 from $125 (Outperform), and B. Riley to $127 from $135 (Buy). The downgrades reflect concerns that automotive revenue (~49% of sales) and industrial revenue (~26% of sales) both came in below consensus, posting only mid-single-digit year-over-year growth despite the broader cyclical recovery narrative. While the company guided AI data center revenue to more than double in full-year 2026, the disconnect between strong AI momentum and tepid core end-market recovery weighed on sentiment.
