ON Semiconductor Reports 9% Revenue Growth, Announces Synaptics Acquisition
The chipmaker posted Q2 revenue of $1.6 billion while advancing a major deal and restructuring its manufacturing footprint.
Revenue Growth Across Segments
ON Semiconductor Corporation reported quarterly revenue of $1,603.5 million for the period ended July 3, 2026, representing a 9% increase from $1,468.7 million in the prior-year quarter, according to the company's 10-Q filing dated August 3, 2026. The growth was "due to increased demand across all end-markets," the filing stated.
The Power Solutions Group led the gains with revenue increasing $130.8 million, or approximately 19% year-over-year, driven by increases of $44.5 million in automotive, $22.4 million in industrial, and $63.9 million in other end-markets, which include AI data centers (10-Q filing, 2026-08-03). The Intelligent Sensing Group posted a 7% revenue increase of $14.2 million, while the Analog and Mixed-Signal Group saw a slight 2% decline of $10.2 million, primarily due to lower industrial demand.
Gross profit rose 12% to $616.3 million from $551.9 million year-over-year, attributed to "increased revenue across all end-markets, improved manufacturing utilization and favorable mix within certain business segments" (10-Q filing, 2026-08-03).
Synaptics Acquisition in Progress
ON Semiconductor entered into a definitive agreement on June 25, 2026, to acquire Synaptics Incorporated in an all-stock transaction valued at 1.350 shares of ON common stock for each Synaptics share. Upon closing, Synaptics stockholders are expected to own approximately 12% of the combined company (10-Q filing, 2026-08-03).
The merger, anticipated to close in mid-2027, requires Synaptics stockholder approval, antitrust clearance, and other regulatory approvals. The parties filed Hart-Scott-Rodino Act notifications with the FTC and DOJ on July 17, 2026, with the 30-day waiting period set to expire August 17, 2026 (10-Q filing, 2026-08-03).
The agreement includes potential termination fees: Synaptics may owe $235 million under certain circumstances, including if it accepts a competing offer, while ON Semiconductor could owe $320 million if the deal fails due to regulatory approval issues (10-Q filing, 2026-08-03).
Manufacturing Realignment Continues

The company recorded $22.7 million in severance costs related to approximately 650 employee terminations during the six-month period. Additionally, the company recognized non-cash impairment charges of $163.3 million "related to previous investments in manufacturing equipment at certain manufacturing facilities pursuant to held-for-sale accounting guidance" (10-Q filing, 2026-08-03).
Other restructuring charges totaled $184.5 million for the six-month period, related to contract termination costs and accelerated depreciation of abandoned assets (10-Q filing, 2026-08-03).
