Skyworks Solutions Inc. (US83088M1027) stock closed at $69.62 on August 14, 2026, leaving the shares trading below the latest analyst consensus price target and setting the stage for the next earnings update.
The most recent quote snapshot as of August 14, 2026, 4:00 p.m. ET shows Skyworks Solutions at $69.62, with extended trading later that day indicating a slight move to $69.32 as of 7:34 p.m. ET. For investors, that price level provides a concrete reference point for evaluating the consensus view on the stock.
Analyst consensus signals moderate upside
Recent coverage compiled in an analyst forecast overview indicates that the average twelve-month price target for Skyworks Solutions stands at $74.22, based on research reports from 23 equity analysts. This average target compares with the current price of $69.62 and implies upside of 6.61 percent if the stock were to reach the consensus level over the next year. The same overview notes that individual targets range from a low of $52.00 to a high of $140.00, underscoring the divergent views on the company’s longer-term potential.
For investors tracking valuation tension, the relationship between the current quote and the consensus target is central. At a closing price of $69.62 on August 14, 2026, Skyworks Solutions trades modestly below the $74.22 average target, suggesting that, in aggregate, analysts expect the stock to move higher but do not project dramatic gains from present levels. The spread between the low and high targets also highlights differing expectations about end-market demand and margin resilience in the company’s key segments.
Institutional interest and fundamentals context
Institutional positioning offers another lens on Skyworks Solutions’ outlook. A recent filing summary notes that Alberta Investment Management Corp has initiated a new investment in Skyworks Solutions Inc., adding the company to its portfolio. Per that filing-based report, the same analyst data set points to the Hold rating consensus at the stock’s current valuation, with the average price target at $74.22. While the new institutional position does not, by itself, reshape the shareholder base, it signals ongoing interest from large investors at a price level just under $70.
On the fundamentals side, the latest available regulatory filings hub lists Skyworks Solutions’ most recent annual Form 10-K and other submissions, alongside the same $69.62 closing price on August 14, 2026. Although the detailed financial statements in those filings cover prior reporting periods and thus serve mainly as historical context for a mid-2026 article, they do confirm that Skyworks Solutions continues to report its results on schedule and maintain a standard disclosure cadence for revenue, earnings, margins, and cash flow. Historically, the company’s annual reports have emphasized its diversified exposure to smartphone, infrastructure, and automotive customers, a mix that matters for interpreting future quarters.
Positioning in the broader market environment
The broader equity backdrop in August 2026 is constructive, which matters for cyclical names such as Skyworks Solutions. A weekly market commentary published on August 17, 2026 notes that indexes such as the S&P 500 recently reached record highs, supported by robust corporate earnings and softer-than-expected US inflation data. This environment tends to favor technology and semiconductor-linked stocks that can demonstrate stable demand and margin discipline, even if individual names like Skyworks Solutions are not currently at their own record highs.
In that context, Skyworks Solutions’ modest discount to the consensus price target can be viewed as a reflection of both company-specific and sector-wide factors. Investors who follow the semiconductor supply chain often compare Skyworks Solutions with peer companies in radio-frequency and connectivity components, looking at segment mix, customer concentration, and exposure to high-growth applications such as 5G handsets and automotive connectivity. The balance between these segments is likely to feature prominently in upcoming earnings commentary.
Representative product and application reach
Skyworks Solutions is best known for its radio-frequency front-end and connectivity solutions that enable smartphones, wireless infrastructure, and a growing range of Internet of Things devices to connect reliably to cellular and Wi-Fi networks. The company’s product portfolio typically spans power amplifiers, filters, and integrated front-end modules that handset manufacturers use to meet stringent performance and power-consumption requirements. As mobile devices incorporate more frequency bands and demand higher data rates, the complexity of these front-end designs tends to increase, which can support content gains for suppliers with strong engineering capabilities.
Beyond handsets, Skyworks Solutions also supplies components into infrastructure equipment and automotive systems, where reliable connectivity and signal integrity are critical. In automotive applications, radio-frequency and connectivity products play a role in telematics, infotainment, and emerging driver-assistance features that rely on communication links. These end markets are important because they can provide diversification from the more cyclical smartphone cycle, and management commentary in upcoming reports often highlights the balance between these segments.
Stock level and investor takeaway
As of the most recent completed trading session on August 14, 2026, Skyworks Solutions stock closed on the Nasdaq at $69.62, with an extended-hours indication of $69.32 later that evening. That price sits below the average analyst target of $74.22, which implies 6.61 percent upside from the current quote and frames a moderate expectation for gains rather than a call for aggressive re-rating. For US retail investors, the combination of a sub-$70 share price, a Hold consensus, and a relatively tight gap to the average target suggests that the next earnings report and guidance update will be crucial in determining whether the stock moves closer to the low or high ends of the forecast range.
