Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Skyworks Solutions stock:

• 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Skyworks reported strong third-quarter fiscal 2017 results. Both earnings and revenues increased on a year-over-year basis. Strong demand for Wi-Fi, Zigbee and LTE solutions have helped the company to gain traction. Management provided optimistic guidance for the fourth-quarter. We expect improving growth prospects to help the stock’s momentum in the rest of 2017 and beyond. We note that Skyworks has outperformed the broader market on a year-to-date basis. Further, strategic design wins in IoT, automotive and 5G markets to remain significant positives for the company in the long haul. However, heavy investments in R&D are escalating operating expenses, which is affecting margins. Significant pricing pressure, technological obsolescence and high concentration risks remain additional headwinds." (8/21/2017)
• 2. Mizuho analysts commented, "We note a significant ~120M iPhone 8 units in 2H17E vs ~89M iPhone7/7+ in 2H16 should position the RF handset supply chain for upside." (4/28/2017)
• 3. Barclays PLC analysts commented, "Stanley Black and Decker closed both the Craftsman acquisition and the Newell acquisition this week, well faster than our expectation. We are adjusting our forecasts, which had previously not included deal accretion. Closure of both was likely, so this is not a surprise per se, though the completion in 1Q is a positive and removes a modest potential risk. We understand the faster than anticipated closing was not a result of any new administration policy or actions towards review; rather, SBD had built in a schedule that included the potential for extended reviews that sometimes happen. Particularly in the case of Craftsman, we believe the deal structure, in which Stanley effectively shielded itself from any ties to struggling Sears, and left Craftsman at Sears as a competitor, sped up the review process. Our PT of $144 is ~18x our 2018E EPS of $8.09. Our former PT of $140 is ~18x our former 2018E EPS of $7.58." (3/13/2017)
• 4. Canaccord Genuity analysts commented, "While we did not meet with Skyworks management at MWC, our overall MWC meetings lead us to believe Skywork's is well positioned for strong trends throughout C2017 driven by strong content share with leading Chinese smartphone OEMs including Vivo, Oppo, Meizu, Xiaomi and Huaweu."
