# ON Semiconductor’s Revised Synaptics Deal Prompts Tristan Gerra to Reiterate Hold Rating and Maintain $108 Price Target

Analyst Tristan Gerra from Robert W. Baird maintained a Hold rating on ON Semiconductor and keeping the price target at $108.00.

Tristan Gerra has given his Hold rating due to a combination of factors tied to ON Semiconductor’s revised acquisition of Synaptics and the broader risk-reward profile. The deal price was cut by $1.3 billion to $5.7 billion and shifted to an all-cash structure at $123 per share, funded through existing cash and new debt, which improves earnings accretion but also adds leverage and execution risk.

Tristan Gerra’s rating is based on the view that, although the transaction should now boost adjusted earnings immediately and offers additional upside from unquantified cost and revenue synergies, the upside appears balanced against notable risks. These include potential overcapacity in a downturn, pricing pressure in commodity and low-end analog products, limits to further cost reduction, and a more levered balance sheet, leading him to maintain a $108 price target and a neutral stance on the shares.

In another report released on September 21, Truist Financial also maintained a Hold rating on the stock with a $75.00 price target.
