Goldman Sachs has reiterated its Neutral rating on ON Semiconductor Corp. (ON) with a 12-month price target of $95, arguing the stock’s 9% fall after the company’s Investor Day was overdone given elevated expectations heading into the event. The broker describes onsemi’s 2030 financial targets as very solid, if slightly short of the most bullish hopes, and says the company made a strong case for benefiting from power-semiconductor growth tied to AI datacentres and physical AI.

What Goldman Sachs Said About ON Semiconductor’s Investor Day

In a report titled “ON Semiconductor Corp. (ON): Investor Day highlights 2030 financial targets, growth in power products, and the outlook for automotive,” Goldman Sachs analyst James Schneider and colleagues write that the 9% share price decline following the New York event looks excessive relative to the expectations that had built up beforehand. The team views the 2030 targets as slightly ahead of the Street but potentially just below the most bullish forecasts, and argues the company set out a credible case for capturing secular growth in power semiconductors linked to both AI datacentres and physical AI.
