Frequently Asked Questions

Which is bigger, STM, ADI and ON?

Analog Devices (ADI) is the largest by market capitalisation: STMicroelectronics (STM) $43.51B, Analog Devices (ADI) $206.87B, On Semiconductor (ON) $30.73B.

Which stock is cheaper, STM, ADI and ON?

On Semiconductor (ON) trades on the lowest price-to-earnings ratio (STMicroelectronics (STM) 93.4x, Analog Devices (ADI) 50.0x, On Semiconductor (ON) 48.8x). On next year's consensus earnings, On Semiconductor (ON) is cheapest (STMicroelectronics (STM) 35.0x, Analog Devices (ADI) 33.1x, On Semiconductor (ON) 22.2x). A lower multiple can reflect slower expected growth, so read it next to the growth figures.

Which company is growing faster?

Analog Devices (ADI) grew revenue fastest over the trailing twelve months: STMicroelectronics (STM) +10.5%, Analog Devices (ADI) +33.6%, On Semiconductor (ON) -3.1%.

Which company is more profitable?

Analog Devices (ADI) has the highest net margin (STMicroelectronics (STM) 3.6%, Analog Devices (ADI) 29.8%, On Semiconductor (ON) 10.2%). On return on invested capital, Analog Devices (ADI) leads (STMicroelectronics (STM) 3.9%, Analog Devices (ADI) 10.2%, On Semiconductor (ON) 5.4%).

Which stock has performed better?

Over the past year STMicroelectronics (STM) returned the most: STMicroelectronics (STM) +81.9%, Analog Devices (ADI) +71.4%, On Semiconductor (ON) +46.0%. Over five years, Analog Devices (ADI) compounded fastest (STMicroelectronics (STM) +0.1%/yr, Analog Devices (ADI) +19.1%/yr, On Semiconductor (ON) +10.7%/yr). Returns are price only, before dividends.

Which pays a higher dividend?

Only one of these companies pays a dividend: STMicroelectronics (STM) 0.00%, Analog Devices (ADI) 0.01%, On Semiconductor (ON) 0.00%. STMicroelectronics (STM) and On Semiconductor (ON) pays no regular dividend.

Which stock is riskier?

By one-year price volatility, Analog Devices (ADI) has been the steadiest (STMicroelectronics (STM) 59.9%, Analog Devices (ADI) 36.5%, On Semiconductor (ON) 62.9%). Volatility measures how widely the price swings, not the risk of the business.

Which is the better stock, STM, ADI and ON?

There is no single answer; it depends on what you are buying for. On the 12 head-to-head measures on this page, Analog Devices (ADI) leads on 7. Business Quant does not give investment advice; use the comparison as a starting point for your own research.

Data from SEC filings, exchange prices and consensus estimates, via Business Quant. Percentile scores compare each company with its own peer group, so two companies' scores are each relative to different peers unless you rank against the whole market.
