Skyworks’ earnings beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate in all of the trailing four quarters, delivering an earnings surprise of 1.36%, on average.

Let’s see how things have shaped up for the upcoming announcement.

Factors Likely to Have Influenced Q3 Performance

Robust uptake of 5G, Wi-Fi 6 and 6E solutions is likely to have driven Skyworks’ top line in the fiscal third quarter. Demand is being driven by a growing need for high-speed connectivity amid the pandemic-induced surge in hybrid work environments, video-streaming and web-based learning trends.

Accelerated 5G deployment, globally, is a tailwind for Skyworks. Emerging use cases of 5G in end-markets like automotive and industrial IoT, and technologies like virtual reality, gaming, and telemedicine are driving demand for Skyworks’ 5G solutions.

Moreover, healthy demand for the iPhone 13 might have favored revenues in the quarter under review. Expanding demand for Skyworks solutions among Tier 1 smartphone manufacturers has been a tailwind.

Momentum for Skyworks’ bulk acoustic wave ("BAW") filters, particularly in mobile and broad markets, is likely to have driven the top-line performance. The company has been witnessing significant design wins for BAW-enabled devices.

However, supply chain disruptions, COVID lockdown in China and the negative impact of the Russia-Ukraine conflict on European sales are anticipated to have limited Skyworks' top-line growth and margin expansion in the to-be-reported quarter.
