For the third quarter of fiscal 2024, the company currently expects revenues to be $900 million plus or minus 2%. Earnings are expected to be $1.21 per share at the mid-point of this revenue guidance.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for fiscal third-quarter revenues is pegged at $900.62 million, indicating a 15.92% year-over-year decline.
The consensus mark for earnings has remained steady at $1.21 per share in the past 30 days. The projection indicates a 30.06% decline from that reported in the year-ago quarter.
Skyworks’ earnings beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate in each of the trailing four quarters, delivering an average surprise of 2.84%.
Let’s see how things might have shaped up prior to the announcement.
Factors Likely to Have Influenced Q3 Performance
Skyworks’ fiscal third-quarter performance is expected to have benefited from its diversified portfolio, evidenced by design wins across the infrastructure, automotive and emerging IoT sectors.
SWKS expects modest sequential growth in broad markets. Inventory levels appear to be normalizing in certain end markets, which is expected to have contributed positively to this segment's performance in the to-be-reported quarter.
Despite near-term headwinds, Skyworks sees long-term growth opportunities in its automotive business. The increasing focus on software-defined vehicles, connected cars and in-cabin user experiences is expected to have been generating higher levels of radio complexity, creating demand for Skyworks’ advanced RF solutions.
Skyworks remains bullish on AI workloads, which are expected to have driven upgrades to Ethernet switches and optical modules. These are seen as positive long-term drivers for its advanced precision timing solutions. The company’s timing portfolio targets next-generation 800 gigs and 1.6 terabyte Ethernet switches in optical modules on the back of its robust AI infrastructure.
SWKS’ robust uptake of Wi-Fi 6E and 7 solutions, owing to the growing demand for its high-speed connectivity, video-streaming and web-based learning trends, is expected to have driven Skyworks’ top line in the fiscal third quarter.
However, challenges in wireless infrastructure and traditional data center end-markets are expected to have hurt SWKS’ top-line growth.
