Physical AI Series: Beyond Nvidia, Why ON Semiconductor Is My First Pick
ON Semiconductor is positioned as a key enabler of physical AI, focusing on power, sensing, and control layers essential for robotics and automation. ON's proposed Synaptics acquisition strategically fills its edge compute and tactile sensing gap, making its semiconductor stack more complete for physical AI applications. Current AI data center revenue acceleration and a recovering core business underpin ON's near-term earnings, with physical AI as an upside rather than a necessity.
