Skyworks’ earnings beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate in all the trailing four quarters, delivering an earnings surprise of 2.13% on average.

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

Factors Likely to Have Influenced Q1 Performance

Robust uptake of 5G, Wi-Fi 6 and 6E solutions is likely to have driven Skyworks’ top line in the fiscal first quarter. Demand has been 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 has been 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 expected to have driven demand for Skyworks’ 5G solutions.

Moreover, 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, challenging macroeconomic conditions, rising inflation, the adverse effect of the COVID-related lockdown in China and the negative impact of the Russia-Ukraine conflict on European sales are anticipated to have limited Skyworks' top-line growth.

Moreover, shrinking demand for smartphones is expected to have weighed on top-line growth as well as margin expansion in the to-be-reported quarter.
