Skyworks’s earnings beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate in all of the trailing four quarters, delivering an earnings surprise of 16.73%, 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 and Wi-Fi 6 solutions is likely to have driven Skyworks’ top line in the fiscal first quarter. Demand is being driven by growing need for high-speed connectivity amid the pandemic-induced surge in remote-work and hybrid work innovation, video-streaming and web-based learning trends.

Acquisition of the Infrastructure & Automotive business of Silicon Laboratories has expanded Skyworks’ market opportunity, and is likely to favor the company’s top line in the to-be-reported quarter.

Accelerated 5G deployment, globally, is 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 driving demand for Skyworks’ 5G solutions.

Moreover, continued deals wins from mobile-handset OEMs is expected to have driven Skyworks’ prospects in the fiscal first quarter. Healthy demand for the iPhone 13 might have favored revenue numbers in the quarter under review.

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, supply chain disruptions are anticipated to have limited Skyworks' margin expansion in the to-be-reported quarter.
