For the to-be-reported quarter, ON expects revenues between $1.480 billion and $1.580 billion. Earnings are expected to be in the range of 57-67 cents per share.

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for fourth-quarter 2025 revenues is pegged at $1.53 billion, suggesting a decline of 11% from the year-ago quarter’s reported figure.

On Semiconductor’s earnings beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate in two of the trailing four quarters and missed in the remaining ones, with the average surprise being 1.98%.
 

Let’s see how things have shaped up for the upcoming announcement.

Factors Likely to Have Influenced ON’s Q4 Performance

ON’s fourth-quarter 2025 is expected to have benefited from stabilization in its core segments – automotive and industrial, following sequential growth of 7% in automotive revenues and 5% in industrial revenues in the third quarter of 2025. This stabilization is going to continue in the to-be-reported quarter.

In the AI data center market, ON Semiconductor is benefiting from a strong portfolio that increases power density and reduces energy loss. These factors are expected to have driven revenues in the to-be-reported quarter. The company approximately doubled its AI revenues year over year in the third quarter and is now material, with almost $250 million expected in 2025. On Semiconductor’s design wins in both automotive and industrial markets reflect a broad global engagement.

Ongoing momentum at the Treo platform is expected to have continued in the fourth quarter of 2025. Treo’s differentiated technology, modular SoC-like design, and ability to integrate high and low voltage domains are driving strong customer engagement across all of ON’s end markets, a trend likely to have continued in the to-be-reported quarter. However, weakness in Europe and China is expected to have negatively impacted the automotive end-market. Flat utilization, as guided by ON management, is expected to have dragged down gross margin in the to-be-reported quarter, which was expected to have been in the 36.5-38.5% range (significantly below the long-term target of 53%).
