Skyworks forecasts upbeat third-quarter results; appoints new CFO

(Reuters) -Apple supplier Skyworks Solutions on Wednesday forecast third-quarter revenue and profit above Wall Street estimates, signaling resilient demand for its analog chips despite ongoing trade tensions. Separately, the company announced that Mark Dentinger will take over as chief financial officer, effective June 2, succeeding Kris Sennesael, who will step down effective Friday, to pursue another opportunity. Dentinger was earlier the CFO at data management firm Veritas. Shares of the California-based company were up 2.7% in extended trading. "We remain encouraged by ongoing momentum in our broad markets that is on track for another quarter of sequential growth and improving year-over-year trends," the company said. It added that the mobile business is expected to decline in the low single digits sequentially. Skyworks forecast third-quarter revenue to be between $920 million and $960 million, with the mid-point higher than analysts' estimate of $922 million, according to data compiled by LSEG. It also forecast an adjusted profit of $1.24 per share for the June quarter, above analysts' average estimate of $1.06 per share. Skyworks, which competes with chip firms such as NXP Semiconductors, Qorvo and Texas Instruments, designs and manufactures analog and mixed-signal chips used in wireless communication, automotive, industrial and consumer electronics. Skyworks' revenue in the second quarter was $953 billion, beating analysts' estimates of $951.5 million. It reported adjusted profit per share of $1.24, exceeding estimates of $1.20.

SWKS SHAREHOLDER ACTION ALERT: Kaplan Fox Reminds Investors of a Class Action Lawsuit Against Skyworks Solutions, Inc. (SWKS) and Lead Plaintiff Deadline on May 5, 2025

NEW YORK - March 29, 2025 (NEWMEDIAWIRE) - Kaplan Fox & Kilsheimer LLP announces that a class action lawsuit has been filed against Skyworks Solutions, Inc. ('Skyworks' or the 'Company') (NASDAQ: SWKS) on behalf of investors that purchased or otherwise acquired Skyworks securities between July 30, 2024 and February 5, 2025 (the 'Class Period'). If you are an investor in Skyworks and have suffered losses, you may CLICK HERE to contact us. You may also contact Kaplan Fox by emailing pmayer@ or by calling (646) 315-9003. DEADLINE REMINDER: If you are a member of the proposed Class, you may move the court no later than May 5, 2025 to serve as a lead plaintiff for the purported class. If you have losses we encourage you to contact us to learn more about the lead plaintiff process. You need not seek to become a lead plaintiff in order to share in any possible recovery. The complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (i) Skyworks' long-standing relationship with Apple, its largest customer, did not guarantee that Apple would maintain its business relationship with Skyworks for its anticipated iPhone launch; and (ii) Skyworks oversold the company's position and ability to capitalize on AI in the smartphone upgrade cycle. On February 5, 2025, after market close, Skyworks announced its first quarter 2025 results. According to the complaint, Skyworks provided lower-than-anticipated revenue guidance and attributed its results and low guidance to a 'competitive landscape' that had 'intensified' in recent years. During the conference call to discuss its results, CFO Kris Sennesael stated as follows with respect to Skyworks' 'strategic partnership with [its] largest customer': '[T]he last couple of years have been challenging as the competitive landscape has intensified. As it relates to the upcoming phone cycle, expected to be launched in the fall of 2025, the Skyworks' team developed a suite of high-performance RF solutions. Despite our rich product offering, we did not get the result that we targeted. Although we were able to secure multiple sockets, including several highly integrated RF modules, our content position is expected to be down 20% to 25%.' On this news, the price of Skyworks stock fell $21.48 per share, over 24%, to close at $65.60 per share on February 6, 2025.
