Skyworks Solutions (US83088M1027) stock traded at $67.94 at the close of August 20, 2026, as investors digested fresh analyst coverage and the company’s latest fiscal third-quarter results. On August 21, 2026, new research coverage set a $70.00 price target, giving the stock only limited implied upside from its recent price level.
BMO coverage adds a market perform signal
On August 21, 2026, a new analyst initiation assigned Skyworks Solutions a market perform rating with a $70.00 price target, placing the recommendation close to where the stock has been trading. The coverage note indicated that Skyworks Solutions stock was valued modestly relative to an intrinsic value estimate of $80.60, implying the shares traded at a discount based on that model.
Data compiled on August 21, 2026, show a broader analyst consensus rating of hold, with an average price target of $74.00 to $74.22, suggesting that expectations cluster only moderately above the current $67.94 share price. Consensus data indicate that the new $70.00 target sits below the overall average target, underscoring a cautious stance compared with peers who see somewhat higher fair value.
Latest quarter shows modest decline and a small beat
For its most recent reported quarter, fiscal third quarter 2026, Skyworks Solutions generated revenue of $934.8 million. A recent earnings overview noted that this figure was down 3.1% year over year, indicating a slight top-line contraction compared with the same quarter of the prior fiscal year.
The same report highlighted that the $934.8 million in revenue exceeded analyst expectations by 0.9%, meaning Skyworks Solutions modestly outperformed consensus on sales despite the year-over-year decline. The company also delivered earnings per share that surpassed analyst estimates, even as inventory levels rose during the period, showing that cost controls and product mix supported profitability despite softer demand.
Since the fiscal third-quarter 2026 release at the end of July 2026, Skyworks Solutions stock has gained 6.8%, moving from its immediate post-earnings level to trade at $69.09 at the time of that analysis. Compared with the later $67.94 close on August 20, 2026, this implies that the shares have slipped 1.7% from that post-earnings high, aligning with the cautious tone of recent rating and target updates.
Valuation and analyst expectations
Valuation metrics presented on August 21, 2026, show Skyworks Solutions stock trading at a level that one intrinsic value framework estimated to be 15.7% below a fair value figure of $80.60. This valuation analysis underpins the view that, despite the hold and market perform ratings, the shares may offer some upside if the company executes successfully on its growth and merger plans.
Consensus data cited on August 21, 2026, indicate that the average target price of $74.22 sits 9.2% above the $67.94 closing price on August 20, 2026. The same consensus snapshot confirms that analysts collectively rate the stock as a hold, reinforcing a neutral stance in light of modest growth and a measured valuation. Within this framework, a $70.00 price target represents a narrower 3.0% premium to the $67.94 price, suggesting that some coverage views the stock as closer to fairly valued.
Additional commentary on August 21, 2026, referenced other recent target changes, including one firm lifting its target to $70 from $65 while maintaining a neutral rating and another firm trimming its target to $65 from $70 and keeping an underperform view. This collection of rating actions underscores that opinions on Skyworks Solutions stock are split, with some focusing on potential benefits from merger activity and others emphasizing execution risks.
Qorvo combination and strategic context
Coverage published on July 29, 2026, described how Skyworks Solutions reported its fiscal third-quarter 2026 results and simultaneously announced key steps toward a planned combination with Qorvo. The news overview highlighted that the quarter’s results were seen as solid, with growth opportunities in AI data center applications and steady demand across core markets.
Commentary included in this coverage stated that the Qorvo deal was viewed positively by some observers, who saw the combination as supportive of long-term growth trends while acknowledging that integration and execution risks remain. In this context, the market perform and hold ratings issued in late July and August 2026 reflect an attempt to balance potential synergies from the merger with the challenges of integrating two sizable analog and RF semiconductor businesses.
Sector-level analysis framed Skyworks Solutions within the broader analog semiconductor landscape, noting that peers have also delivered quarters that feature modest revenue declines but earnings beats driven by margin discipline. With revenue of $934.8 million in fiscal third-quarter 2026 declining 3.1% year over year yet beating consensus, Skyworks Solutions fits this pattern of cautious top-line performance combined with stronger-than-expected profitability.
Representative product and end-market exposure
Skyworks Solutions is best known for its RF front-end and analog components that are used to amplify, filter, and manage wireless signals in smartphones, automotive systems, and industrial applications. A representative product family includes RF front-end modules designed for 5G smartphones, which integrate power amplifiers, filters, and switches to enable efficient, high-speed wireless connectivity for device makers.
These products position Skyworks Solutions to participate in ongoing demand for advanced connectivity in both consumer and industrial markets. As 5G adoption broadens and automotive and industrial customers pursue more connected solutions, demand for high-performance RF components and analog signal-processing devices provides a structural backdrop for the company’s revenue and earnings, even if short-term quarterly trends fluctuate.
Skyworks Solutions stock and recent price level
Skyworks Solutions stock opened and traded during the August 20, 2026, session before closing at $67.94, according to a same-day price performance summary. This snapshot characterized the price as part of a move in which the stock was down 16% in 2025 but had benefited from subsequent gains linked to AI and data center exposure.
Against this backdrop, a $70.00 price target provides roughly $2.06 of upside from the $67.94 close, while the $74.22 average target implies a wider $6.28 potential move if consensus expectations play out. For investors, the interplay between modest revenue decline, earnings beats, the Qorvo combination, and a valuation that some models see as 15.7% below fair value will likely remain central to how Skyworks Solutions stock trades around the high-$60s level in the coming sessions.
