Let’s see how things have shaped up prior to the announcement.

Factors Likely to Have Influenced SWKS’ Q2 Performance

SWKS’ fiscal second-quarter 2026 performance is expected to have suffered from seasonal weakness in the mobile business. The company expects Mobile segment revenues to decline 20% sequentially in the to-be-reported quarter. Broad Markets are expected to be flat sequentially but increase by high single digits year over year and should represent 44% of revenues.

SWKS’s fiscal second-quarter 2026 performance is likely to have benefited from its diversified, high-growth applications, including connected vehicles, enterprise infrastructure, satellite communications, data center networking, and edge AI. The Broad Market is expected to have benefited from strong underlying demand, as suggested by eight consecutive quarters of growth and the achievement of double-digit year-over-year growth in the first quarter. Expansion across a wider customer base is expected to have driven top-line growth despite supply constraints in some areas. 

Skyworks’ gross margin projection of approximately 44.5% to 45.5% reflects seasonally lower volume. The company reported a gross margin of 46.6% in the first quarter of fiscal 2026. 

Operating expenses are expected to be between $230 million and $240 million compared with $230 million reported in the previous quarter as SWKS continues to increase spending on research and development.
