Apple supplier Skyworks forecasts upbeat quarterly results on strong chip demand
Demand for Skyworks' chips has remained strong, supported by their applications across industries such as automotive and mobile, even as global trade tensions raise concerns over supply chain disruptions and rising costs.
"We're encouraged by the momentum in mobile and steady strength across our broad markets, driven by long-term growth trends in edge IoT, automotive and data center," CEO Phil Brace said.
Skyworks designs and manufactures analog and mixed-signal chips used in wireless communication, automotive, industrial and consumer electronics.
Earlier this year, the company named insider Robert Schriesheim as interim finance chief, after Mark Dentinger, who was initially set to assume the role, decided not to join.
Skyworks forecast fourth-quarter revenue between $1 billion and $1.03 billion, compared with analysts' estimates of $887.4 million, according to data compiled by LSEG.
The company expects fourth-quarter adjusted earnings per share of $1.40, ahead of analysts' expectations of 97 cents per share.
For the third quarter ended June 27, Skyworks reported revenue of $965 million, beating expectations of $940.9 million.
Profit per share for the quarter came in at 70 cents, compared with 75 cents per share a year earlier.

XAI co-founder Babuschkin departs to launch AI safety investment firm
Aug 13 (Reuters) - Igor Babuschkin, a co-founder of Elon Musk's artificial intelligence startup xAI, said on Wednesday that he has left the company and plans to launch an investment firm focused on AI safety research. Musk launched xAI in 2023 to challenge Big Tech's AI push, accusing industry leaders of excessive censorship and lax safety standards. "Today was my last day at xAI," Babuschkin said in a post on X, adding that his new venture, Babuschkin Ventures, will back AI safety research and startups developing the technology. Babuschkin, who previously worked at Google's DeepMind and OpenAI, described xAI's early scramble to build infrastructure and models, saying he created 'many of the foundational tools' for launching and managing training jobs before later overseeing engineering across infrastructure, product and applied AI projects. His departure follows that of xAI's legal head, Robert Keele, earlier this month, and comes amid intensifying competition among AI players such as OpenAI, Google and Anthropic, which are pouring resources into training and deploying advanced systems. Last month, Musk-owned X's CEO Linda Yaccarino also resigned, just months after the platform was folded into xAI. Musk is separately contending with executive departures at Tesla (TSLA.O), opens new tab.

Silicon Valley executives are spending up to $50,000 to screen embryos
Silicon Valley tech executives are reportedly paying up to $50,000 for genetic-testing services that promise to screen embryos for IQ. These services aim to help parents select embryos for in vitro fertilization (IVF) to produce 'smart offspring'. Companies like Nucleus Genomics and Herasight are publicly offering these IQ prediction services, with prices ranging from around $6,000 to $50,000. High-end matchmakers note a rise in tech CEOs seeking intelligent partners, specifically to have 'smart offspring'. Critics raise significant ethical concerns about polygenic embryo screening (PES), including fairness, accessibility only to the wealthy, and the potential for creating a 'genetically super caste'.
