Keith Jackson, president and CEO of ON Semiconductor, commented:
Business conditions continue to be soft, and we expect to see sub-seasonal demand trends in the near-term, as geopolitical factors will likely continue to weigh on demand. Despite near-term weakness in demand, key secular trends driving our business remain intact. Against a backdrop of soft demand and limited visibility, we continue to focus on execution to mitigate the impact of current softness in demand. We remain confident in our strategy of focusing on secular megatrends in automotive, industrial, and cloud-power end-markets, and we are prudently investing to further strengthen our position in these markets.
Shares of ON Semiconductor traded down more than 7% early Monday, at $18.54 in a 52-week range of $14.55 to $23.54. The consensus price target is $25.06.
