Skyworks Solutions designs semiconductors that handle radio-frequency signals, the components that let phones and other devices connect to wireless networks. Its chips are used in smartphones and also in automotive, industrial, home and infrastructure equipment. Customers are mainly handset and device makers, and a small number of large phone makers account for a big part of its business.
Skyworks earns revenue from supplying chips and modules to device makers. Revenue is $4.0 billion over the last twelve months, but revenue growth over three years is -9.3% a year, so sales have been shrinking. The operating margin is 7.6%, and the business earns a profit of 5% on the capital invested in it. The company has net debt of -1.0 times EBITDA, which means it holds more cash than debt, and the dividend yield is 2.6%. On the site's X-Ray Score it receives 32 out of 100.

Debt = borrowings plus lease liabilities. Cash & securities = cash, equivalents and short-term marketable securities (long-term securities are not counted, so net cash can be understated for companies that hold large long-term investments). Net debt = debt minus cash & securities. Source: latest SEC 10-Q/10-K. EBIT / EV yield = operating profit divided by market cap plus net debt.
Fair value estimate
$64middle half of models $50 – $76
Overvalued−21.8% to fair value
Average of the 13 valuation models that pass our checks: multiples, discounted cash flow, dividend discount and earnings power value. A model more than 100% above or 60% below the price is left out as unrealistic. Model uncertainty is High, based on how far apart the models are. Undervalued or Overvalued means the gap to fair value is more than 17.5%.

What this means
Weak business, priced high
Our models put fair value below today's price, so a lot of good news may already be in the price. A high score does not guarantee a good outcome; it shifts the odds a little. Use the checklist as a prompt for your own research.

Revenue against the same quarter a year earlier. Latest quarter revenue $935M, diluted EPS $0.22.
Cash exceeds debt (net debt is negative), which gives room to invest or ride out a downturn.
Weaknessesinside the company
Return on invested capital is only 5.0% (median 16.7% for industry peers), so the business earns little above its cost of capital.
Operating margin of 7.6% is thin against 29.5% for industry peers.
Revenue has fallen 9.3% a year over three years while industry peers grew 5.8%.
Earnings per share have declined 26.7% a year over three years.
Opportunitiesvaluation and setting
Our Market Compass rates the backdrop for Information Technology as favourable.
Price momentum is strong on the weekly and monthly signals (trends can reverse).
Threatsvaluation and setting
The price is 22% above our fair value estimate, so there is little room for disappointment.
Valuation uncertainty is high: the models give widely different values, so the fair value range is wide.
Earnings in Semiconductors follow the industry cycle, so margins and profits can swing from year to year.

Sector leaders: highest X-Ray Score in Information Technology
SWKS ranks #70 of 75 in Information Technology and #11 of 15 in Semiconductors by X-Ray Score. A higher score is stronger on our five pillars; it is a ranking of facts, not a forecast.
Green means better than the peer median, red worse (only where a higher or lower figure is clearly better). A dash means too few companies report the figure. P/E, EV/EBITDA and price changes are not graded: a different level is not good or bad by itself.

These ratings compare companies with each other and describe the past; they are not a forecast, a recommendation or part of the X-Ray Score. A factor is left out when its data is missing or meaningless (for example a P/E on negative earnings). A dash in the history columns means fewer than three usable years.

Signals describe what the chart is doing, not what to do. Moving averages: price above the average is bullish. Oscillators use the usual thresholds (RSI 30/70, Stochastic 20/80, CCI ±100, Williams %R −80/−20; MACD and momentum above zero are bullish). Weekly and monthly views use closing prices only.
