Prior to today's trading, shares of the chipmaker had gained 8.57% over the past month. This has outpaced the Computer and Technology sector's gain of 0.55% and the S&P 500's gain of 2.2% in that time.
Investors will be hoping for strength from SWKS as it approaches its next earnings release. On that day, SWKS is projected to report earnings of $1.34 per share, which would represent a year-over-year decline of 18.29%. Our most recent consensus estimate is calling for quarterly revenue of $765.94 million, down 14.35% from the year-ago period.
For the full year, our Zacks Consensus Estimates are projecting earnings of $6.19 per share and revenue of $3.39 billion, which would represent changes of -14.27% and -12.3%, respectively, from the prior year.
Any recent changes to analyst estimates for SWKS should also be noted by investors. These recent revisions tend to reflect the evolving nature of short-term business trends. As such, positive estimate revisions reflect analyst optimism about the company's business and profitability.
