On July 29, Skyworks Solutions fell 7.07% in regular trading, trading at $57.92/share, with turnover of $27.93 million. The decline follows the company's fiscal third-quarter earnings release, where strong results were overshadowed by a below-consensus forward outlook and a classic sell-the-news reaction.
Skyworks reported fiscal Q3 adjusted EPS of $1.08, beating the consensus estimate of $1.02, while revenue of $934.8 million also exceeded the $924.9 million expectation. However, the company guided Q4 adjusted EPS to $1.27 at the midpoint of its revenue range, falling short of the FactSet consensus of $1.29. The stock had already rallied over 5% in the prior session ahead of the report, fully pricing in an optimistic scenario, which set the stage for profit-taking once guidance disappointed.
Adding to the pressure, KeyBanc had previously downgraded Skyworks to sector weight, citing potential Apple inventory cuts that could weigh on near-term performance. Investors also noted a lack of near-term catalysts related to the pending merger with Qorvo, which is expected to close by year-end but has offered limited new developments.
