Jun 17ON Semiconductor jumped in pre-market after Citi opened a 90-day positive catalyst watch and multiple firms raised price targets.Positive▶
onsemi shares rose about 4.8% in pre-open trading after Citi initiated a 90-day catalyst watch, reiterating a Neutral rating with a $120 price target. Wells Fargo raised its target to $140 from $115 and Mizuho maintained an Outperform-equivalent view at $130, reflecting growing Wall Street conviction that the company's automotive and AI-data-center recovery is intact. The bullish thesis builds on Q1 2026 revenue of $1.513 billion that beat the midpoint of guidance, with management calling the cyclical trough behind it, plus a new GaNEXUS gallium nitride portfolio and an expanded EV collaboration with Geely. The stock is up over 110% year to date but still about 11% below its 52-week high. The bear case is crowding risk: a BofA survey showed 80% of managers view semiconductors as the most crowded trade ever, and ON's cash conversion remains pressured by high inventory.
Jun 16ON Semiconductor jumped about 5% after Citi raised its price target to $120 and added the stock to its 90-day upside catalyst watch ahead of the September analyst day.Positive▶
On June 15, 2026, Citi analyst Atif Malik raised his price target on ON Semiconductor to $120 from $100 while keeping a Neutral rating, and placed the stock on the firm's 90-day upside catalyst watch list ahead of ON's analyst day in September, where the company is expected to detail its data center revenue opportunity. Shares climbed roughly 5% on the news. Citi's new estimates call for EPS of $3.07 in 2026, $4.64 in 2027 and $6.00 in 2028, with the higher target reflecting a ~20x P/E on 2028 estimates versus the stock's 3-year average of 17x, driven by expectations for firmer pricing and a longer-lasting recovery in the analog semiconductor market. The move adds to recent bullish sell-side sentiment, with Wells Fargo earlier lifting its target to $140 from $115 (Overweight) and Mizuho at $130 (Outperform). The bear case is that Citi kept only a Neutral rating despite the higher target, the stock has already run up sharply year-to-date, and it now trades above its consensus mean price target, leaving valuation stretched if the September data center narrative disappoints. Execution on the AI/data center and automotive power pivot is the key swing factor.
