Skyworks Tops Adjusted Earnings Estimates, Offers Tepid Guidance
Skyworks Solutions (SWKS) - Get Skyworks Solutions Inc. Report reported Thursday that fiscal-second-quarter net income rose 84% on 53% higher revenue, but offered muted guidance for the fiscal third quarter.
Skyworks' Q2 revenue and adjusted earnings -- and its estimates for the fiscal third quarter -- beat expectations. The GAAP second-quarter earnings missed Wall Street's estimates.
For the quarter ended April 2, the Irvine, Calif., company earned $1.95 a share compared with $1.06 a share in the year-earlier quarter. The latest adjusted earnings were $2.37 a share.
Revenue reached $1.17 billion from $766.1 million.
A survey of analysts by FactSet produced consensus estimates of GAAP earnings of $2.04 a share, or an adjusted $2.35 a share, on revenue of $1.15 billion.
For the fiscal third quarter, Skyworks expects adjusted earnings of $2.13 a share, based on the midpoint of its revenue range. Revenue should come in between $1.08 billion and $1.13 billion.
FactSet's survey of Wall Street analysts produced consensus estimates of adjusted profit of $2.11 a share on revenue of $1.07 billion.
