ON Semiconductor’s stock has taken a hit after the company made an unsolicited $6.9 billion bid to acquire Allegro MicroSystems, which Allegro found inadequate. This move is part of ON Semiconductor’s strategy to strengthen its position in the automotive sector, even as demand for automotive chips slows down. The high acquisition price and potential increase in interest expenses have raised concerns about the financial viability of the deal, leading analysts to express caution. Some analysts have maintained a Hold rating due to uncertainties surrounding the acquisition and challenges in the automotive market. Consequently, ON Semiconductor’s share price dropped by 4% following the announcement.
