onsemi’s earnings beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate in all the trailing four quarters, the average surprise being 7.54%.

Let’s see how things are shaping up prior to this announcement.

Factors to Note

onsemi’s second-quarter performance is likely to have benefited from the increased adoption of its products in automotive and industrial end markets. Our model estimate for second-quarter 2023 automotive segment revenues is pegged at $877.7 million, indicating a 12% year over year growth.

It is winning market share in the automotive segment, thanks to its silicon carbide dominance and intelligent power and sensing solution. Our model estimate for second-quarter 2023 intelligent sensing group revenues is pegged at $328.7 million, indicating a 5.6% year-over-year growth.

onsemi's EliteSIC silicon carbide modules increase the efficiency and lower the weight of the traction inverters, extending electric vehicle range and improving performance. These factors are likely to have driven its second-quarter top line.

In this regard, an expanding clientele in the likes of Volkswagen, Tesla, Mercedes Benz, Jaguar Land Rover, BMW AG, ZEEKR and Hyundai Motor Group are expected to have driven demand for silicon carbide and benefited top-line growth.

However, onsemi’s second-quarter top line is expected to have been affected by stiff competition and persistent weakness in non-strategic end markets. Also, lower factory utilization, negative impact of EFK fab acquisition and slow wafer starts are expected to have hurt margin performance in the to-be-reported quarter.

onsemi is expected to have faced supply chain constrains across several automotive technologies in the to-be reported quarter. Nevertheless, continuous growth in its Hudson, Czech Republic and South Korea manufacturing sites are expected to overcome supply chain issues.
