Skyworks stock price target cut to $85 at Craig-Hallum

On Thursday, Craig-Hallum analyst Anthony Stoss adjusted the price target for Skyworks Solutions (NASDAQ:SWKS) to $85.00, down from the previous $105.00, while still maintaining a Buy rating on the company’s shares. Currently trading near its 52-week low at $64.21, InvestingPro analysis suggests the stock is undervalued, with additional ProTips highlighting its strong free cash flow yield and low price volatility. Stoss explained that despite the long-term positive outlook for Skyworks Solutions due to the anticipated growth in AI-enabled smartphones, there is an expectation for investors to be selective with their investments as the company recalibrates its estimates following content losses with Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL).

Skyworks Solutions is expected to see a reduction in content by 20-25% for the fiscal year 2025 as a result of increased competition, primarily from Broadcom (NASDAQ:AVGO), according to management. The company maintains a strong financial position with a current ratio of 5.54 and operates with moderate debt levels, as revealed by InvestingPro data. Despite this setback, the Broad Markets segment has been highlighted as a continuing success story, with management anticipating sustained modest growth after achieving growth for the fourth consecutive quarter. Additionally, growth is expected in the automotive sector for FY25, which should help balance the ongoing weakness in infrastructure and industrial markets.

Stoss noted that gross margins remained flat in December but are projected to decline and stay lower due to the content loss with Apple. However, he commended the Skyworks management team for another solid quarter of free cash flow (FCF) and their commitment to enhancing shareholder value. This commitment is evidenced by the announcement of a $2 billion stock buyback program.

Concluding his commentary, Stoss expressed confidence in the long-term growth potential of Skyworks Solutions and their strategy of returning cash to shareholders through dividends and the newly announced buyback. Despite this, he suggested that investors should be cautious in the near term due to potential volatility in the market.
