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

 

Factors Likely to Have Influenced Q4 Performance

onsemi’s fourth-quarter performance is likely to have benefited from the increased adoption of its products in automotive and industrial end markets, particularly in areas such as electric vehicles (EVs), advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) and energy infrastructure.

The momentum in the silicon carbide segment, owing to its strong market position, is anticipated to have driven onsemi's top line in the to-be-reported quarter.

onsemi's strength across EliteSIC modules, which increase efficiency and lower the weight of the traction inverters to expand electric vehicle range, is likely to have driven its fourth-quarter top line.

In the to-be-reported quarter, onsemi expects substantial top-line growth driven by the innovative Hyperlux Family sensors for automotive and industrial applications, featuring low power consumption and 8-megapixel resolution.

However, ON Semiconductor's fourth-quarter top line is expected to have been affected by softness in European automotive demand and reduced silicon carbide shipments due to lower demand.
