With key customers like Sony, Motorola, Cisco, Google, HP, Apple and many others, Skyworks Solutions’ semiconductors are in just about everything related to the Internet of Things Tsunami, a phrase that was coined by the Skyworks president and CEO David Aldrich and caught on like wild fire across the technology industry. As of the third quarter of 2013, three billionaire investors, Chuck Royce, Steven Cohen and Scott Black, made new buys of SWKS. Royce sold out in 2009 and the SWKS price has more than doubled since that time.
With world-class manufacturing capabilities and scale, Skyworks Solutions has a reputation as a true innovator of high performance analog semiconductors, making miniature electronics for numerous cutting edge applications, such as talking cars, smartphones and the latest satellites.
In fiscal year 2013, Skyworks reported revenue of $1.79 billion, with operating income of $457 million (non-GAAP), and total assets of $2.33 billion, as of November 2013. The company reported financial results for its fourth fiscal quarter for the period ending September 27, 2013 with revenue of $477 million, an increase of 13.3% over the same quarter a year ago. Operating income was $105.5 million (GAAP) and earnings were $0.44 per diluted share.
Skyworks president and CEO David Aldrich commented in a company press release: “Skyworks continues to outperform as we expand our diversified market footprint, gain content with customized analog solutions and capitalize on global demand for the Internet of Things…We are effectively executing our strategy to deliver the growth of connectivity along with analog semiconductor financial returns. Based on our product innovation, proprietary solutions and track record of operational execution, we’ve created a differentiated business model. As a result, we are well positioned for sustainable above-market growth and shareholder value creation.”
