News about Skyworks

Starboard Value sees significant upside in Skyworks Solutions (SWKS) if the company delivers on the cost savings and margin targets from its merger with Qorvo, according to Bloomberg, citing people familiar with the matter. The activist investor considers Skyworks undervalued after completing the Qorvo acquisition earlier this month, and sees growth from the companies' complementary product portfolios. The merger targets at least $500 million in annual cost savings within three years, while management forecasts operating margins of 30% to 35% within two to three years. The combined company is valued at about $22 billion, as both firms face slowing growth after Apple shifted toward in-house chips.
