Qorvo’s earnings beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate in all of the trailing four quarters, delivering an earnings surprise of 18.5%, on average.

Let’s see how things have shaped up for Qorvo prior to this announcement.

Factors to Consider

Qorvo’s fiscal first-quarter results are likely to reflect gains from increased demand for 4G and 5G mobile products utilized in flagship smartphones.

Strong demand for Qorvo’s mid-high band and ultra-high band front end modules, which have been powering 5G smartphone launches, is likely to have contributed to the company’s Mobile Products (“MP”) segment’s performance in the fiscal first quarter.

Qorvo expects MP revenues to be $810 million in the to-be-reported quarter.

Solid momentum in Bulk Acoustic Wave (“BAW”) filters, driven by extended shipments of low-band, mid-/high- and ultra-high-band modules, and BAW-based antenna-plexers that are witnessing accelerated adoption across leading smartphone OEMs, is expected to have driven top-line growth in fiscal first quarter.

Broad-based content gains across Wi-Fi 6 solutions, which are being implemented in leading tablets, smartphones, gateways, smart speakers, mesh networks and virtual reality headsets, are expected to have contributed to the fiscal first-quarter performance.

Momentum in deployment of Wi-Fi 6 solutions and robust 5G infrastructure market demand on improving buildout of 5G networks, and gains from rise in 5G base station deployments are likely to have acted as tailwinds.

Strong adoption of Qorvo’s Gallium nitride (GaN) amplifiers to support high-power applications and domestic airborne radars, and the deployment of Massive MIMO antennas are likely to have contributed to the Infrastructure and Defense segment’s revenue growth in the quarter under review.

Qorvo expects the IDP unit to contribute $270 million during the fiscal first quarter.
