Artisan Mid Cap Fund stated the following regarding ON Semiconductor Corporation (NASDAQ:ON) in its first quarter 2024 investor letter:
“Among our top detractors were Atlassian, ON Semiconductor Corporation (NASDAQ:ON) and Exact Sciences. ON Semiconductor is a leading designer and manufacturer of chips for power management and image sensing. From a battery-electric vehicle (EV) standpoint, ON is a leading producer of silicon carbide chips. Shares have been under pressure as the company grapples with multiple quarters of inventory right-sizing across the entire auto supply chain and slower-than-expected growth of EV sales. However, ON is seeing smaller sales declines than peers due to market share gains, and we believe the company will be equally well positioned if automakers rebalance their efforts from full EVs toward hybrid vehicles. We remain patient.”
