Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Qorvo stock:

• 1. Mizuho analysts commented, "We favor AVGO and SWKS with better, cleaner execution, higher topline growth, solid GMs, FCF, and diversification." (8/4/2017)
• 2. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Qorvo’s tepid first-quarter 2018 guidance primarily reflects weaker-than-expected demand in China. Moreover, higher research & development expense related to custom product development for its largest customers is a concern. We also believe that a probable delay in the launch of Apple iPhone 8 doesn’t bode well for the company. Further, increasing competition remains a major concern. Notably, Qorvo has underperformed the Zacks categorized Semiconductors-Radio Frequency industry over the last 12-months. Nevertheless, the company’s expanding product portfolio is a key positive. Additionally, increased BAW-based product mix, higher utilization rates, and ongoing productivity & quality improvements are key catalysts." (6/21/2017)
• 3. Needham & Company LLC analysts commented, "Qorvo hosted an upbeat analyst day that focused on key IDP growth drivers and increasing RF dollar content in Mobile Products. Collectively, these drivers should enable QRVO to grow at least in-line with its TAM, which is growing at a 10%-15% CAGR. Management also highlighted the performance benefits of its BAW5 process, which is key to the company’s prospects of securing a portion of the mid-/high-band PAD module for Apple’s 2018 iPhone platform. With a statement of work under its Master Supply Agreement with Apple now in place for the mid-/high- band PAD module, we believe QRVO’s chances of securing this win have improved." (5/26/2017)
• 4. Wells Fargo & Company analysts commented, "We are initiating coverage of Qorvo with a Market Perform rating and a valuation range of $60-70, which is based on a multiple of 13-15x our adjusted FY18 EPS of $4.67 (our GAAP FY18 EPS is $1.31). We think that there are many positive aspects to Qorvo as a company and a stock, including expertise in RF products and manufacturing technologies, opportunity for revenue and margin growth, and relatively low valuation. On the other hand, in our view, risks include customer and product concentration, competition from larger companies, low gross margin, and a checkered history of profitability. Our GAAP 2017E and 2018E EPS estimates are -$0.68 and $1.31." (3/7/2017)
