What’s Next For ON Semiconductor Stock After 10% Rise In The Past Week?

ON Semiconductor stock (NASDAQ: ON) has seen a sharp rise of almost 10% over the past week and currently trades at $49 per share. The stock rally was driven by strong Q2 2021 earnings reported a month ago, that have driven expectations of further revenue and margin growth. The stock has rallied nearly 15% over the past month, after the company posted Q2 ’21 revenues at $1.67 billion, up from $1.21 billion in Q2 ’20. With COGS and operating expenses in check, the company saw operating income jump 6.5x over this period, from $43 million to $282 million. Despite a rise in other expenses and a higher effective tax rate, EPS jumped from $0.00 in Q2 2020 to $0.43 in Q2 2021.

Question 1: Is the average return for ON stock higher after a drop?

Is the average return for ON stock higher over the subsequent month after Case 1 or Case 2?
