The London Company Mid Cap Strategy made the following comment about Skyworks Solutions, Inc. (NASDAQ:SWKS) in its first quarter 2023 investor letter:
“Skyworks Solutions, Inc. (NASDAQ:SWKS)- SWKS shares significantly outperformed the broader market during Q1. Investor expectations were low reflecting fear of a slowdown in iPhones sales at Apple. SWKS derives 50-70% of revenue from AAPL in any given quarter, so any weakness at Apple can have a big impact on the financials of SWKS. The stock received a boost following earnings, as its more diversified wireless and non-wireless business performed strongly in terms of revenue growth and margin expansion. We own SWKS as it is one of a few global companies in the radio-frequency semiconductor market able to develop incredibly complex chips and supply customers with those chips at scale, while maintaining high margins and strong cash flow.”
