Analysis · QRVO · Manufacturing
Skyworks delivered Q3 revenue of $935 million and non-GAAP EPS of $1.08, both above expectations, while advancing the Qorvo acquisition. To fund the deal, the company plans to raise $2 billion in debt and announced a new capital allocation framework: a $2 billion stock repurchase authorization replaces the prior program, and the quarterly dividend is eliminated to redirect cash toward buybacks and deleveraging. The Q4 guidance calls for revenue of $1.01–$1.06 billion and non-GAAP EPS of $1.27, with a partial quarter of acquisition financing costs already baked in. The combination of solid results, deal progress, and a shareholder-friendly capital shift makes this a significant update for Qorvo investors, as the combined entity's financial strategy is now taking shape.
