Big Tech isn’t waiting around for the grid to catch up — they’re going straight to the source.
Recent reports show NVIDIA actively courting Korean power equipment firms, pushing for faster deployment of next-gen 800V DC infrastructure to support AI data centers.
Why?
Because AI demand is exploding faster than power supply can scale. And in this race, power = survival.
🚀 $ON Semiconductor(ON)$
ON Semiconductor stands out as one of the most compelling setups right now:
Trading at ~20x forward earnings and ~13.5x EV/EBITDA
Roughly half the valuation of peers like:
Monolithic Power Systems (42–52x P/E)
Power Integrations (~38x P/E)
40% EPS growth annually over the next 3 years
PEG ratio < 1.0 → classic undervaluation signal
$6B buyback (~26% of market cap) adds strong downside support
📈 AI Revenue Inflection Is Already Happening
This isn’t a “future story” anymore:
AI data center revenue already exceeded $250M in 2025, doubling YoY
2026 run-rate tracking $300–350M
Long-term trajectory: $1B+ by 2028 as 800V DC adoption accelerates
⚙️ The Real Edge: Owning Both SiC and GaN
Unlike competitors, ON Semiconductor is playing both sides of the power stack:
First to scale vertical GaN (vGaN) — now sampling to early customers
Expanded into SiC JFET technology via acquisition
Direct exposure to AI data center power conversion + EV infrastructure
This dual-platform strategy positions them right in the middle of the AI + electrification supercycle.
⚠️ The Catch
Automotive still makes up ~80% of revenue — and that segment has been soft
The bull case depends on:
AI demand continuing to ramp
Auto stabilizing
📅 Near-Term Catalyst
Q1 2026 earnings: May 4
This could be the moment the market starts repricing the AI contribution.
🧠 Big Picture
The market is still pricing ON Semiconductor like a traditional auto chip supplier.
But the reality? It’s becoming a critical enabler of AI infrastructure in the 800V DC era.
Meanwhile, NVIDIA isn’t just building chips anymore — it’s actively shaping the power backbone of AI itself.
And that shift hasn’t been fully priced in yet.
