The leading provider of radio frequency solutions is expected to have witnessed revenue decline owing to weakness in the Advance Cellular Group (ACG) and High Performance Analog (HPA) Group.

Factors at Play

During the quarter, Qorvo unveiled QPA3390, a cutting-edge 24V power doubler amplifier for DOCSIS 4.0 broadband and cable TV (CATV). The solution set a new standard in DOCSIS 4.0 amplifier technology with its low power consumption, compact design, cost efficiency, and high performance. This is likely to have strengthened QRVO’s position in the CATV amplifier market and supported the top line during the quarter.

In the quarter under review, Qorvo introduced QPG6200L, an advanced system-on-chip solution, designed to deliver uninterrupted and consistent connectivity for smart home devices. The solution ensures smooth compatibility across multiple wireless standards by offering greater radio frequency performance and reliability for a vast array of IoT devices. This has significantly boosted QRVO’s prospect in the global smart home device market.

However, Qorvo operates in a competitive landscape that is becoming more complex with low barriers to entry. Stiff competition affects the profitability of the company. Customer concentration risk remains a major concern. Despite easing of channel inventory, management expects persistence of weakness in end markets.

Per the Zacks Consensus Estimate, net sales in the HPA segment are expected to be $131.27 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2025, implying a decline from $149.80 million in the year-earlier quarter. Revenues from ACG are projected at $776.60 million, suggesting a decline from $850.07 million reported in the year-ago quarter. Connectivity and Sensors Group is expected to generate $118.91 million in revenues, indicating an improvement from $103.62 million in the year-ago quarter.

For the September quarter, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for total revenues is pegged at $1.03 billion, indicating a 6.88% year-over-year decline. The consensus mark for earnings is pegged at $1.85 per share. It reported earnings of $2.39 per share in the year-ago quarter.
