Risks – Skyworks Specific
• Increased competition could lead to a failure to secure deals from
major customers
• SWKS’s heavy reliance on Apple
• Mitigation: expanding its operations in IoT will decrease its
reliance on Apple
• Slowing growth of mature products
• Mitigation: Emerging markets, such as India/asia, are
experiencing more aggressive growth in products and therefore,
SWKSwill be able to tap into that arena

Editor's Notes

  1. 15 years ago, chipmaker Alpha Industries merged with Conexant Systems. Both companies produced RF chips, power amplifiers, and other communication chips for a wide range of industries. The new company was named Skyworks, which promoted itself as a "pure play" wireless integrated circuit company.
  2. -Headquarters are in Woburn Mass, however production facilities are located in Mexico, California, and Japan -Skyworks is the 9th largest in the industry with the largest competitor being Intel is best known as a supplier of chips used in Apples iPhone but has been quickly expanding into other markets, such as home automation and driverless vehicles, and its products are becoming increasingly critical as technology companies look for innovative ways to connect their devices.
  3. Their P/E, EV/EBITDA (enterprise value) , and EV/EBIT multiples are significantly lower than the industry average indicating that it is undervalued and a “cheap” stock. Drivers: 4G penetration at 27% in 2015, to 75% by 2020
  4. semiconductor specialist that supplies chips to a wide variety of markets, including: mobile, automotive, broadband, wireless infrastructure, home automation, industrial and military. Its chips are used in wireless devices to support in sending and receiving data. Its products include: power amplifiers and front-end modules used by mobile device companies as well as RF chips used in a variety of industries. These chips are essential for many machine-to-machine communications that form the foundation of the Internet of Things, technologically innovative products, and wireless infrastructure . Skyworks NOW aims to diversify by expanding to other vendors in the premium and mid-tier smartphone markets. It's making modest inroads beyond smartphones, as it has delivered healthy growth in its broad-markets segment. Expansion of wireless connectivity into the Internet of Things and automobile and wearables are drivers, which should contribute over the longer-term
  5. Experts predict that there will be 34 billion connected devices by 2020, IoT accounting for 24 billion. An estimated $6 trillion will be spent on IoT over next five years. Skyworks’ highly innovative systems are scalable on virtually any platform SWKS best positioned to innovate and capture this growing market Connected home, connected car, major customers include: Hive, NEST, Honeywell, Bose, GM, land rover, jaguar Skyworks technology continues to push wearables to new heights in functionality in these areas
  6. Skyworks’ automotive solutions are enabling new convenience and safety features in everything from remote keyless entry, to collision avoidance, toll transponders, garage door openers, lighting, infotainment, video displays and vehicle tracking Skyworks' competitive advantages lie in its unique ability to bundle an increasing number of complex connectivity functions into a single, space-saving chip. As an innovator of high performance analog semiconductors enabling connectivity across a broad range of end markets, their devices support Cellular / Smartphones. Leveraging their systems expertise and broad product portfolio, partnered w/ their customers to develop solutions that solve increasingly complex analog design challenges.
  7. Acquisitions of smaller players among the largest direct competitors are increasing, Skyworks is also the chipmaker that nearly bought PMC-Sierra for $2 billion in late 2015, but was eventually outbid by Microsemi Skyworks credited its strong return to the success of several new product launches, including components used by Huawei, Samsung Electronic’s Galaxy S8 platform, Cisco Systems and Nintendo Co.’s Switch gaming consoles The company also secured several design and networking contracts (lockheed martin) that should boost revenue in the upcoming quarter. The company won contracts with three leading auto manufacturers to provide advanced LTE modules and antenna switches, supporting high-reliability connectivity, GPS and data transport capability. In addition, it extended WiFi mesh networking contracts with Google and Plume.
  8. Skyworks should make progress on its longer-term 53% gross-margin target, helped by improved revenue growth, coupled with the mix shift from power amplifiers to higher-margin integrated mobile systems. Strong expense discipline has bolstered Skyworks' operating leverage and should help it achieve 40% operating margin. The longer-term shift toward 5G wireless and growth in Internet of Things could further enhance Skyworks' margin should Broad Market sales play a larger role.
  9. expansion to 4G LTE will explode in next few years in emerging markets Growth of LTE will require innovations in data capacity, Skyworks is leader in this technology LTE-M is the abbreviation for LTE Cat-M1 or Long Term Evolution (4G), category M1. This technology is for Internet of Things devices to connect directly to a 4G network, without a network and on batteries. It's cheaper. Devices can connect to 4G networks with chips that are less expensive to make, because they have a narrower bandwidth. Long Battery Life. Devices can enter a "deep sleep" mode called Power Savings Mode (PSM) or wake up only periodically while connected. Service Costs Less. Because the maximum data rate of LTE-M devices is only about 100 kilobytes or Data rate unite in turn they do not tax the 4G network as much. Carriers can offer service plans that priced closer to old 2G M2M pricing than 4G pricing. notably, the 5G upgrade cycle is also a major tailwind for the company. Moreover, the company also enriched its product portfolio by launching high efficiency power amplifiers for advanced LTE applications. The demand for this highly integrated architecture is increasing with the transition from 4G to 5G technology.
  10. One risk that emanates from Skyworks' dependence on Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL), with as much as 44% of its revenues coming from the latter in FY 2015. Apple's contribution to the company's top line has reduced, coming in at less than 40% in the latest quarter. the iPhone 6s requires two Skyworks components versus the latest model, the iPhone 7, which requires four components and 5-6 in there next generation of their flagship phone. As the technology in phones continue to improve, Skyworks components will comprise a larger content share and push sales higher, even if phone sales are flat. Skyworks is also working to diversify its revenue sources, and curb its dependence on Apple. However, there's no doubt that this risk still persists, for now at least.
  11. Cyclical sectors like the information technology have historically shown the strongest correlations to interest rates This makes sense given that inflationary pressures and higher interest rates often come on the heels of strong economic growth. Therefore, the Fed’s indication that it plans on an interest rate hike bodes well for IT stocks. Moreover, the markets reached all time high after Trump was elected. (All political views aside) One explanation is Trump’s pro-business stance, which brings expectations that he’ll roll back regulation and cut corporate taxes; another is that investors are bullish about the increased infrastructure spending that Trump promises. Being that governments and businesses are beginning to implement technology into their everyday system and the growth of IoT indicates areas of potential growth for SWKS.
  12. Looking to Skyworks, the company manufactures over 2,500 chips, including analog semiconductors, switches, and amplifiers, to a roster of over 2,000 customers. At a high level, Skyworks' competitive advantages lie in its unique ability to bundle an increasing number of complex connectivity functions into a single, space-saving chip. This unique ability made Skyworks an invaluable supplier to smartphone and tablet makers, and the company has been handsomely rewarded as mobile devices have proliferated in the past decade.
