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.
