Wedbush Upgrades ON Semi (ONNN) to Outperform; Poised for Strong Secular Growth & GM Expansion

Wedbush upgraded ON Semi (NASDAQ: ONNN) from Neutral to Outperform, price target raised from $10 to $12.50.

Wedbush analyst says, "While we had expected ONNN to benefit from the overall growth of the semiconductor industry given its very broad exposure, we are seeing better-than-expected pro forma gross margin expansion tailwinds as the company’s Sanyo business recovers from the Thailand floods above our prior expectations and tighter control of OpEx driving a faster-than-expected return to bottom-line growth and leverage in the model...We recommend investors buy the shares."

Wedbush raises FY12 EPS estimate from $0.60 to $0.67 and FY13 from $0.91 to $1.05.
