Peter Peng has given his Hold rating due to a combination of factors influencing Qorvo’s current market position. The company’s recent quarterly results were in line with expectations, driven by strong performance in its iPhone and aerospace and defense segments. However, the outlook for the December quarter indicates a 7% sequential decline in revenue, which aligns with typical seasonal trends and reflects the ongoing exit from the low-tier Android market.
Additionally, Qorvo’s restructuring efforts are anticipated to result in flat operating expenses year-over-year, with a focus on reducing lower-margin mobile and consumer applications. The company’s high-performance analog segment is expected to continue its growth, but the connectivity and sensors segment faces challenges. The recent SWKS acquisition announcement has led to a Neutral rating, with a price target of $105, as the current stock price already reflects the acquisition terms, offering limited upside potential.
According to TipRanks, Peng is a 3-star analyst with an average return of 8.6% and a 53.85% success rate. Peng covers the Technology sector, focusing on stocks such as MKS, Amkor, and Skyworks Solutions.
In another report released today, Barclays also maintained a Hold rating on the stock with a $90.00 price target.
