New York, Jan 25, 2026, 18:23 (EST) — Market closed.
- ON Semiconductor shares ended Friday down 1.7% and slipped a bit more in after-hours trading.
- Feb. 9 is the date the chipmaker has picked to release its quarterly and full-year results, followed by a conference call.
- Risk appetite could hinge on a jam-packed week of megacap earnings and the Federal Reserve’s upcoming decision.
ON Semiconductor’s shares finished Friday at $61.98, slipping 1.73%, and dipped slightly to $61.80 in after-hours trading. During the day, the stock ranged from $60.83 to $63.84, closing the week roughly 5.8% under its 52-week peak of $65.77. 1
Timing is key. The stock hovers near the high of its yearly range, and with the next catalyst looming, it’s enough to draw in positioning despite U.S. markets being closed for the weekend.
Traders are closely eyeing if the late-week slide will deepen once markets open Monday. Chip stocks have seen swift moves lately, with investors quick to punish any shaky outlooks.
onsemi announced Friday it plans to report fourth-quarter and full-year results after the market closes Monday, Feb. 9, followed by a conference call at 5 p.m. Eastern. The company highlighted its emphasis on automotive and industrial sectors, linking growth to trends like vehicle electrification, industrial automation, and powering 5G and cloud infrastructure. 2
The report will deliver hard data on some persistent investor questions: the stability of auto demand, the direction of factory orders, and how pricing and costs are shaping up while customers clear out inventories.
Broader markets might face higher pressure next week. Roughly 20% of the S&P 500 will report earnings, with heavyweights like Apple, Microsoft, Meta Platforms, and Tesla on deck. Meanwhile, the Fed is expected to keep rates unchanged at its Wednesday policy meeting, according to Reuters. Franklin Templeton strategist Chris Galipeau didn’t mince words: “the earnings bar had better be met.” 3
Intel shook the semiconductor sector as its shares dropped 14% on Friday, rattled by supply issues and a grim forecast, Reuters reported. Analysts at TD Cowen noted that Intel’s recent gains “had been largely driven by ‘the dream’ rather than the near-term reality or fundamentals.” 4
ON Semiconductor faces a clear risk: if management grows cautious about autos and industrial clients, the recent rally toward its highs could reverse fast. On the other hand, a more confident outlook or stronger demand cues would probably lure buyers back in.
Investors should mark Feb. 9 on their calendars. That’s when onsemi will release its latest earnings after the market closes, followed by a Q&A session at 5 p.m. Eastern. 5
