Five Screens, Shown in Full
Full pass across all five screens. This security clears the Titan Ethical Standard: its business and its balance sheet both stay inside the lines.
| Test | Figure | Limit | What it means | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Business activity | Permissible | Core business clean | Its core business isn't built on prohibited lines: no gambling, alcohol, tobacco, weapons, or interest-based lending. | Pass |
| Debt load | 23.99% | Below 33% | Interest-bearing debt is just 24.0% of its assets, well under the one-third ceiling: it does not run on borrowed money. | Pass |
| Interest-bearing cash | 3.19% | Below 33% | Cash held in interest-bearing accounts and securities is 3.2% of assets, under the one-third limit. | Pass |
| Receivables | 24.40% | Below 49% | Money owed to the company is 24.4% of assets, under the 49% limit. | Pass |
| Revenue purity | 1.59% | Below 5% | Only 1.6% of revenue comes from non-compliant sources, under the 5% line. | Pass |
Five checks adapted from AAOIFI screening standards: business activity plus four balance-sheet ratios. All five must pass for ethical clearance. Every figure is arithmetic on public accounts, not judgement.
The Ethical ReadWhy It Clears, in Plain English
ON Semiconductor clears all five screens. Its business is in a permissible area, its interest-bearing debt is about 24%, inside the ~33% line, and interest is about 2% of its income, under the ~5% line, so it passes.

The Fair Value Range
Our analysis reads Fair vs our fair value, as of 3 Nov 2026: it trades above our $69.28 fair value estimate, narrow competitive moat, 9.20% revenue growth.
How a fair value is estimated: discounted cash flow (DCF).
Fair value range in USD, drawn from the 2026-11-03 screen. The gold marker is the market price at the same screen. The price runs 4.8% above the base estimate.
Third-party analyst targets: 27 covering, consensus Buy. The average target sits +38% from the screen price.
Reading the gap · Our more conservative model reads it as fully-to-richly valued here, while the Street is more bullish: a quality-at-a-fair-price name rather than a deep-value one.
Price History & ProjectionsWhere our models see it going: fair-value estimate $69.28, with a range of $67.50 to $79.67, dated to the 2026-11-03 screen.

The Business, in Plain WordsChip cycle tempts but earnings peak ahead
Every boom in electric cars and factory sensors eventually hits a wall when carmakers and phone makers cut orders. ON Semiconductor sits right in that cycle with revenue growing just five percent and margins stuck at nine percent. The shares trade above our fair value with a forward multiple of twenty times earnings, so we pass.
Low returns on equity at seven percent and a narrow moat leave little room for error once demand cools. Analysts still see upside to one hundred ten dollars, yet those targets often assume the current upswing lasts. In cyclical semiconductors that rarely proves true.
The real risk is mistaking a peak earnings multiple for a bargain. Ethical screens clear but the numbers show limited growth and thin profitability that could compress fast. Analysis, not advice.
