Qorvo is set to release its fiscal third quarter (Dec.) earnings after the market closes on Tuesday, January 28th. While the company wasn't profitable in the last twelve months, InvestingPro analysis indicates expectations for profitability this year. The forecast by Stifel is consistent with the mid-point ranges previously outlined by Qorvo's management. The company had previously indicated a slight decline in revenue for the fiscal year 2025 (ending in March) during their second-quarter report. This anticipated decrease is attributed to changing mix shift expectations among Android ecosystem customers.
Stifel analysts note that the current trend of mixed-demand across Qorvo's High Performance Analog (HPA) and Custom Signal Generation (CSG) segments is predicted to persist through at least the first half of the calendar year 2025. Consequently, Stifel does not foresee significant alterations to their model assumptions for the company through the end of fiscal year 2025.
Looking further ahead, the outlook for fiscal year 2026 appears more optimistic. Stifel's positive stance is bolstered by Qorvo's ongoing efforts to minimize fixed costs and reduce capital intensity. Additionally, the recent sale of Qorvo's silicon carbide business is expected to contribute to a more favorable position in the upcoming fiscal year. The strategic moves by Qorvo's management are anticipated to enhance the company's financial setup as they transition into fiscal year 2026. Supporting this outlook, InvestingPro data shows strong liquidity with a current ratio of 1.9, indicating the company's solid financial foundation for future growth.
