Skyworks Solutions, a semiconductor company, recently reported its earnings for the second quarter of the year on April 30. The financial results indicate that demand for the iPhone was lower than expected, which could have significant implications for the smartphone market.

Key points from Skyworks Solutions’ earnings report:

– Revenue for Q2 2024 was $1.046 Billion, showing an 8.7 percent decline year-over-year.
– The company cited “below normal seasonal trends” and “lower-than-expected end market demand” as contributing factors to the revenue drop.
– Skyworks plans to diversify beyond smartphones by expanding into edge-connected IoT devices, automotive electrification, advanced safety systems, and AI infrastructure.
– The company expects the mobile business to decline sequentially in the next quarter due to excess inventory clearing.

Skyworks Solutions heavily relies on Apple, with sales to the tech giant accounting for a significant portion of its revenue. With Apple’s sales facing challenges in key markets like China, there are concerns about iPhone demand and its impact on suppliers like Skyworks.

As Apple prepares to report its earnings soon, there is apprehension in the market about iPhone sales performance. Given Skyworks’ close ties to Apple, it is likely that sluggish iPhone sales could be reflected in both companies’ financial reports.
