ON Semiconductor Q4 2020 earnings preview
$ON Semiconductor Corp(ON.US)$ is a semiconductors supplier company, formerly in the Fortune 500, but dropping into the Fortune 1000in 2020.
ON Semiconductor's strength in the automotive segment positions it well to deliver 4Q sales and EPS that could top Bloomberg consensus' $1.35 billion sales and 28-cent EPS estimates.
Global auto chip demand has been pronounced, resulting in shortages. While the automotive segment accounts for roughly one-third of sales, the global chip demand strength has been broad-based, which would help expedite ON's industrial and consumer recoveries, and complement computing and cloud power momentum.
