Sentiment · FY2026 Q3
On July 28, 2026, Skyworks and Qorvo announced the expected executive leadership team for the combined company, effective upon completion of the pending mergers. Skyworks president and chief executive officer Phil Brace will serve as chief executive officer of the combined company, with Philip Carter as chief financial officer and nine named executives reporting to Brace. Qorvo chief executive officer Bob Bruggeworth is expected to join the combined company's board post-close.
Skyworks secured a billion-dollar multigenerational Android design win as revenue of $944 million exceeded guidance for the fifth consecutive quarter, with broad markets achieving its ninth consecutive growth quarter at 30% year-over-year gains. However, input cost headwinds from expedite fees, gold prices, and supply dynamics pressured gross margin while GAAP earnings were compressed by Qorvo transaction costs. The Qorvo regulatory review entered Phase 2 at SAMR with timeline uncertainty, and Q3 guidance targeted $900-$950 million.
