On July 1, Allegro MicroSystems rose 5.2% in regular trading, trading at $69.68/share, with turnover of $140 million, significantly outperforming the broader semiconductor sector.
On the news front, the market continues to reassess Allegro's independent operational value and strategic attractiveness following the strong negative reaction to ON Semiconductor's acquisition of Synaptics. ON Semiconductor previously abandoned its $6.9 billion bid for Allegro and instead pursued an approximately $7 billion all-stock acquisition of Synaptics, a move that triggered a 20% plunge in ON Semiconductor's stock price. Investment bank TD Cowen subsequently downgraded ON Semiconductor from Buy to Hold, cutting its target price from $115 to $110. The market's sharp rejection of the Synaptics deal has prompted investors to continuously re-evaluate Allegro's standalone franchise value. After initially falling to approximately $57 when the acquisition expectation collapsed, Allegro shares have now substantially recovered and continue to strengthen.
