Revenue rose 11% from a year earlier to $1.72 billion, and adjusted earnings came to 90 cents per share, according to the company's release. Analysts polled by LSEG had expected 88 cents a share on revenue of $1.70 billion, CNBC reported. Onsemi said AI data center revenue grew 39% from the prior quarter and 175% from a year earlier.
For the fourth quarter, the company guided revenue to between $1.715 billion and $1.815 billion and adjusted earnings of 95 cents to $1.07 per share. Management said on the earnings call that automotive revenue, which was $777 million in the third quarter, should fall by a high single-digit percentage in the fourth quarter as supply is shifted toward AI data center and industrial customers, before returning to normal levels in the first quarter of 2027, according to Investing.com.
