On Semiconductor schedules its Investor Day for the first week of May as the company's total addressable market expands to $213 billion and Synaptics revises growth projections upward. The timing places management commentary directly ahead of second-quarter earnings season, when silicon carbide revenue guidance will face scrutiny from allocators who reduced ON exposure through Q4 2024.
The $213B TAM figure represents a 47% expansion from the $145B baseline used in ON's 2023 strategic framework. The increase concentrates in automotive power modules and industrial motor drives, two segments where ON holds between 18% and 22% market share depending on voltage class. Synaptics, a proxy for analog semiconductor demand, raised full-year revenue guidance by 8% on April 28, citing inventory normalization in automotive Tier 1 suppliers—the same channel that caused ON's Q4 revenue miss. The overlap is not coincidental: both companies sell into the same six OEM Tier 1 accounts that represent $4.2B in combined annual revenue.
The Investor Day will clarify whether ON's silicon carbide roadmap can defend gross margins above 42% as Chinese competitors ship 1200V modules at 30-35% lower ASPs. ON's Gresham, Oregon fab expansion added 40,000 wafer starts per month in Q1 2025, but utilization sat at 68% in March—below the 75% threshold where fixed-cost leverage turns positive. Management will need to show firm purchase commitments from automotive customers to justify the $2B Czech Republic fab investment announced in February. The Czech facility targets 150mm SiC wafer production by H2 2026, a timeline that assumes no permitting delays and matches the ramp schedule TSMC abandoned in Arizona.
Allocators should watch ON's commentary on long-term supply agreements with automotive OEMs, specifically whether those contracts include volume guarantees or remain take-or-pay frameworks. The distinction matters: take-or-pay structures let customers defer orders during demand weakness without penalty, leaving ON with stranded capacity. Management will also face questions on analog portfolio margins, which compressed 240 basis points year-over-year in Q1 as industrial distributors cleared excess inventory. If ON guides to structural margin improvement tied to the TAM expansion, the stock could re-rate toward the 16-18x forward earnings multiple that peers Infineon and STMicroelectronics command. Current valuation sits at 13.2x 2026 consensus EPS.
The sector re-rating depends on whether ON's investor presentation includes binding customer commitments rather than TAM slides. The $213B figure is addressable, not capturable, and ON's actual revenue capture has run between 6.8% and 7.4% of stated TAM over the past three years.
The takeaway
ON's Investor Day must convert $213B TAM narrative into firm automotive purchase orders to justify Czech fab investment and close the 3-5x valuation gap to European peers.

Your next customer won't visit your website. Their AI will.
AI assistants have quietly taken over the first step of buying — they answer from catalogs they can read and shortlist whoever can actually ship. Two questions now decide whether you exist to that buyer: can a machine read your catalog, and can you fulfill the order. Most brands fail one or both and never find out why the orders went elsewhere. The winners of this shift aren't the loudest. They're the most readable. Build for the machine that's about to do the shopping.

Beyond our own Virginia Beach floor, we work with a vetted network of craft manufacturers across the US — each meeting the highest excellence in QC standards in the industry, each a specialist in its own discipline — so apparel, hard-goods imprinting, media manufacturing, packaging, and secure printing all go to the bench built for them, coordinated from one accountable hub.
