Key Facts

2The company posted higher revenue, boosted by chip demand from artificial-intelligence data-center builders.

ON Semiconductor reported its Q1 2026 financial results, narrowing its net loss to $33.4 million amid surging demand for power chips from AI data center builders, with adjusted EPS of $0.64 and revenue of $1.51 billion. Joining the sector's positive momentum, Navitas Semiconductor Corp. beat estimates, while Onto Innovation reported Q1 earnings per share that exceeded expectations alongside rising annual revenues. Furthermore, Onto Innovation invested in a stake in Rigaku to bolster its advanced semiconductor technology capabilities. Despite these beats, ON Semiconductor's stock price dropped as the performance failed to meet the high bar set by investors. Looking ahead, ON Semiconductor issued a second-quarter revenue forecast exceeding Wall Street expectations, driven by resilient demand from the automotive industry. This performance highlights the strategic positioning of semiconductor firms across AI infrastructure and the automotive sector.
