Shares of Skyworks Solutions (SWKS) HAVE dropped more than 14% in the past three months, underperforming the overall market.
The stock has several catalysts which could make its share price rebound strongly.
Furthermore, as the downturn pushed the share price below the 50-day moving average value of $165.92 and the 200-day moving average value of $177.03, this investment opportunity looks interesting. Thus, I am bullish on this stock. (See Analysts’ Top Stocks on TipRanks)
