The company offers power discrete products, including metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFET), Shielded-Gate low voltage and mid-voltage MOSFETs, SuperJunction high voltage MOSFETs, and trench-stop insulated gate bipolar transistors (IGBTs), as … Full AOSL analysis →

Key strengths

  • Revenue Growth Consistent Revenue growth volatility is low (stability score 0.92), suggesting sticky customer base.
  • Margins Stable Across Cycles Operating margin volatility is low (stability score 0.78), demonstrating pricing resilience across cycles.

Key risks

  • ROIC Below WACC or Peers ROIC at 29.7th percentile suggests inefficient capital deployment.
  • Scale Without Profitability Despite scale, profitability lags peers (score 0.25), suggesting limited competitive advantage.

The dashed ring is the peer median. Defense scores are percentile ranks against peers, so 50 is roughly the typical company in this group.

How AOSL scores on the Corporate Default defenses

Pricing Power

Score 39 · 20% of the moat score

Pricing power is the ability to raise prices without losing volume.

Cost Advantage

Score 49 · 15% of the moat score

A cost advantage means delivering the same product for structurally less — better purchasing, denser distribution, a more automated process.

Customer Stickiness

Score 54 · 15% of the moat score

Stickiness is what makes revenue repeat without being re-won every year.

Capital Efficiency

Score 19 · 18% of the moat score

Capital efficiency asks what the company earns on the money tied up in the business.

Resilience

Score 52 · 17% of the moat score

Resilience is the capacity to get through a bad year on its own terms — enough liquidity, enough interest cover, and enough cash generation to avoid a rescue financing or a forced sale.

Scale & Market Position

Score 29 · 15% of the moat score

Scale matters only when it converts into economics.

Understanding AOSL's moat

What is Alpha and Omega Semiconductor L's moat score?

Alpha and Omega Semiconductor L (AOSL) scores 40 out of 100 on the StatsAlpha Moat Map, which rates its competitive advantage as developing. It ranks #41 of 66 scored companies in Semiconductors, the top 62%. The score is a weighted composite of 6 competitive defenses, each measured against industry peers of 65 companies in Semiconductors. Its strongest defense is Customer Stickiness (54/100) and its weakest is Capital Efficiency (19/100).

How does Alpha and Omega Semiconductor L compare with other Semiconductors companies?

Alpha and Omega Semiconductor L ranks #41 of 66 scored companies in Semiconductors by moat score. The widest moat in Semiconductors is NVE Corporation (NVEC) at 86/100. The companies ranked closest are Impinj, Inc. (PI) at 41 just above it and Intel Corporation (INTC) at 38 just below it.

How is the moat score calculated?

Each company is scored with an industry-specific template — Corporate Default in this case, chosen because the defenses that matter to a bank are not the ones that matter to a software company. Every defense combines several financial signals, and each signal is measured as a percentile against a peer group of 65 companies in Semiconductors. The defenses are then weighted to produce the overall score out of 100.

Why is Alpha and Omega Semiconductor L scored with the Corporate Default template?

Most public companies sell a product or a service at a margin, so the moat question is whether that margin survives contact with competitors. The Corporate template scores the six defenses that show up in a general operating company's financial signature: whether it can hold price, produce more cheaply than rivals, keep its customers, earn a return above its cost of capital, withstand a downturn, and turn size into economics.

Which competitive defenses are measured for Alpha and Omega Semiconductor L?

The Corporate Default template measures 6 defenses, and AOSL scores: Pricing Power (39), Cost Advantage (49), Customer Stickiness (54), Capital Efficiency (19), Resilience (52), Scale & Market Position (29). Each is scored independently as a percentile against peers, so a company can be strong on one and weak on another — the overall score reflects how those defenses are weighted for this industry.
