Sales at its Power Solutions Group (PSG) sank 23% to $829.4 million, and dipped 16% to $653.7 million at its Analog and Mixed-Signal Group (AMG). Sales at its Intelligent Sensing Group (ISG) were down 15% to $278.8 million. However, compared to the second quarter, AMG and ISG sales increased.

CEO Says Onsemi 'Investing To Win' as Power Demands Keep Growing

Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Hassane El-Khoury said Onsemi delivered "consistent results in the current environment through execution and prudent financial management." El-Khoury added that "as power demands continue to rise across our key markets, and the need for greater efficiency becomes paramount, we are investing to win across the entire power spectrum."

Onsemi sees current-quarter adjusted EPS in the range of $0.92 to $1.04 and revenue of $1.71 billion to $1.81 billion. Analysts surveyed by Visible Alpha were looking for $1.00 and $1.78 billion, respectively.
