ON Semiconductor Corporation (NASDAQ:ON) is reportedly exploring the acquisition of Allegro Microsystems Inc. (NASDAQ:ALGM) to strengthen its presence in the automotive semiconductor market, according to Bloomberg. The Phoenix-based chipmaker has been working with advisers on a potential deal, though Allegro has not indicated whether it is open to a sale.
Allegro, headquartered in Manchester, New Hampshire, specializes in power and sensing semiconductor solutions used in automotive, industrial, and data center applications. The company recently appointed longtime executive Mike Doogue as its new CEO, signaling leadership changes amid acquisition speculations.
The potential deal could attract interest from other semiconductor firms seeking to expand their automotive offerings, Bloomberg noted. Allegro’s largest shareholder, Japan’s Sanken Electric Co Ltd (TYO:6707), holds a 32% stake in the company. Neither Allegro nor Sanken Electric has commented on the acquisition rumors.
As demand for automotive chips surges due to advancements in electric vehicles (EVs) and autonomous driving technologies, semiconductor companies are actively seeking strategic acquisitions to enhance their market position. If ON Semiconductor proceeds with the deal, it could significantly boost its automotive chip portfolio.
Investors are closely watching developments, as any acquisition could impact stock prices and industry dynamics. While no final decision has been made, the potential bid highlights the growing competition in the semiconductor sector.
Both companies remain silent on the speculation, and it remains unclear whether negotiations will progress. However, with ON Semiconductor’s expansion strategy and the increasing demand for automotive semiconductor solutions, this potential acquisition could reshape the industry landscape.
