Phoenix-based ON Semi has been working with advisers in recent months to pursue Allegro, the people said, asking not to be identified because the matter is private. It's possible other suitors could emerge for Allegro and the company hasn't indicated whether it would be open to a potential sale, they added.
Semiconductor companies interested in bulking up their automotive capabilities could look at buying Allegro, the people said. A representative for ON Semi declined to comment. A representative for Allegro didn't immediately respond to a request for comment.
Allegro shares jumped as much as 12% in premarket trading in New York on Monday. The stock was up 2% this year through the end of February, giving the Manchester, New Hampshire-based company a market value of about $4.1 billion. ON Semi has fallen 25% in that time and is valued at $19.8 billion.
Last week, Allegro announced it was replacing its chief executive officer of almost three years, Vineet Nargolwala, with longtime executive Mike Doogue. Allegro's biggest shareholder is Japan's Sanken Electric Co., with a stake of about 32%, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
Allegro develops advanced semiconductors, describing itself as a leader in power and sensing solutions for motion control and energy-efficient systems. The products are used in car engines and safety systems, as well as data centers and factories. On Semi also develops power and sensing technologies used in automotive, industrial and cloud-computing sectors.
Analysts have warned that automotive chipmakers could face sales pressure as the electric-vehicle market in the US slows under Donald Trump's administration.

Qantas shutters Jetstar Asia, blaming costs and competition
STORY: Australia's Qantas is shutting down its Singapore-based budget airline, Jetstar Asia. That will mean up to 500 job losses, and see the carrier's fleet of Airbus jets redeployed to Australia and New Zealand. Qantas said Wednesday that rising costs and mounting competition had driven the move. Since the end of the pandemic, budget rivals like AirAsia and Scoot have ramped up services. That has driven competition up, and airfares down. Jetstar Group Chief Executive Stephanie Tully says Singapore's Changi Airport has also become a very expensive place to run an airline. It's been steadily raising charges to pay for investment. Tully says costs there have soared for fuel, airport fees, ground handling and security. She said Jetstar Asia had only been profitable in six of its 20 years, and was on track for another deficit this year. Now the airline will be shuttered at the end of July, with customers offered refunds or rebooking on other carriers where possible. The shutdown does not affect Qantas's other budget units - Jetstar Airways and Jetstar Japan. Shares in Qantas were down around 1.5% in afternoon trade following Wednesday's news.
