Is down 25% this week after earnings, which was overdone. They have $700 million in free cash flow which will let them buyback shares and support the stock. She's taking a breath as shares recover. Eventually, she will sell, but not after this sell-off. Pays a 4.2% dividend yield, so maybe it's interesting to enter now.
After earnings, is up only 1.5% on a strong rally day. Honestly, he's disappointed by this move.
Joe TerranovaHas huge exposure to smartphones and the internet of things. When it reported a few weeks ago, the quarter was solid, though guidance light due to lightness in smartphones. Has pulled back to now trades at a cheap 12x PE estimates. Pays a 2.4% yield. Shares are up 12% for the year.
SWKS got a big push with the potential of 5G technology.
It is down 8% in a year and up 24% in 2023. Relatively speaking, this is not so bad for a tech company.
The balance sheet is strong and it is priced well at 12X earnings.
Growth (EPS) should be in the 15% plus range over the next two years.
The last quarter matched estimates but of course in this market investors are always looking for 'more'.
The main issue here has been the decline in smartphone sales.
There was a glut of inventory, and as this gets worked down we would expect better things from SKWS.
That being said, a recession is not going to help sales.
We think it is OK and worth holding.
The combination of valuation, balance sheet and potential we think is decent.

The stock has done phenomenally well. They provide chips, mainly on the mobile side. Not only cell phones but, also in the Internet of everything, they are into cities, machines, cars, being connected to 4G. Part of why they have done so well is that when you ask more of performance in speed, storage, cameras and you still want to limit the size, you are asking these chips to do a lot more with a lot less. The company has the ability to combine different functionalities in a smaller space, which is why they have done so well. The stock may have gotten a bit ahead of itself. This is in the semiconductor space, which is very cyclical, so watch for any commentary on pricing pressure or overcapacity in the market. That is when you want to get out.
