Let’s see how things have shaped up prior to this announcement.

Factors to Note

onsemi’s fourth-quarter performance is likely to have benefited from increased adoption of its products in end-markets like electric vehicles (EV), advanced driver assistance systems, and energy infrastructure and factory automation.

The company’s expanding portfolio of highly-differentiated intelligent power and sensing products has been attracting customers. Moreover, onsemi has been rapidly expanding its capacity across new sites like Hudson, NH. These factors are likely to have driven its fourth-quarter top-line growth.

Manufacturing efficiencies, the reallocation of capacity to strategic and high-margin products to drive favorable mix shift, and continued elimination of price-to-value discrepancies are likely to have driven higher margin performance in the to-be-reported quarter.

In this regard, divestments of fabs in Belgium, South Portland, Pocatello, and Niigata, Japan, facilities are expected to have benefited gross margin expansion, as well as reduced fixed costs.

However, onsemi’s fourth-quarter performance is expected to have been affected by global supply-chain constraints. Also, continued weakness in non-strategic end markets of computing and consumer is expected to have hurt top-line growth.
