Skyworks Solutions, Inc. (NASDAQ: SWKS) trades near $78/share after a difficult stretch driven by softer smartphone demand and a cooling semiconductor market. While growth has slowed, the company remains highly profitable with strong margins, solid cash flow, and consistent shareholder returns that appeal to long-term investors.
Recently, Skyworks reported preliminary fourth-quarter results that surpassed its own expectations, reflecting better-than-anticipated demand across key markets. The company also announced a merger agreement with rival Qorvo, a move aimed at creating a stronger U.S.-based leader in high-performance analog and mixed-signal chip solutions.
This article explores where Wall Street analysts believe Skyworks could trade by 2027. We have compiled consensus targets and valuation models to show the stock’s potential path. These figures reflect analyst estimates, not TIKR’s own projections.

Analyst Price Targets Suggest Modest Upside
Skyworks trades near $78/share, and the average analyst price target is $85/share, implying about 7% upside over the next two years.
- High estimate: ~$106/share
- Low estimate: ~$60/share
- Median target: ~$83/share
- Ratings: 3 Buys, 1 Outperform, 20 Holds, 1 Underperform, 1 Sell
This range shows that analysts see the stock as fairly valued after its recent pullback. For investors, this means the easy gains are likely behind it. Modest upside could still be achieved if demand recovers or if diversification efforts in automotive and IoT start contributing meaningfully to growth.

Skyworks: Growth Outlook and Valuation
The company’s fundamentals remain solid despite recent softness:
- Revenue expected to decline about 2% annually through 2027
- Operating margins projected near 22%
- Shares trade at roughly 15x forward earnings, slightly below historical averages
- Based on analysts’ average estimates, TIKR’s Guided Valuation Model using a 15x forward P/E suggests about $84/share by 2027
- That implies around 6% total returns, or 3% annualized
These projections suggest that Skyworks can continue to compound at a steady pace, but not dramatically. Profitability remains strong, and free cash flow supports consistent dividends and buybacks.
For investors, Skyworks looks like a steady, income-supporting stock rather than a growth engine. It could outperform modestly if smartphone demand rebounds or if its new industrial and automotive segments scale faster than expected.

What’s Driving the Optimism?
Skyworks remains a critical supplier of radio-frequency chips that enable wireless connectivity across smartphones, IoT devices, and vehicles. Its long-standing relationship with Apple provides a stable revenue base, while expansion into automotive and industrial applications adds new layers of growth potential.
Management continues to invest heavily in innovation, targeting next-generation connectivity solutions for EVs, Wi-Fi 7, and connected homes. These efforts are helping Skyworks diversify away from smartphones and position for long-term relevance as demand for wireless integration expands.
For investors, these strengths suggest Skyworks can maintain its profitability and gradually rebuild growth momentum as new end-markets ramp up over the next few years.
Bear Case: Demand and Concentration Risks
Even with these positives, Skyworks faces several challenges. The global smartphone market remains soft, and heavy dependence on Apple continues to limit revenue diversification. Margins have also compressed slightly as end-market demand slowed.
Competition from other RF suppliers like Qorvo and Broadcom is intensifying, and new entrants are pushing prices lower. For investors, the concern is that without a meaningful rebound in handset demand or faster traction in new markets, the stock’s growth may stay limited.
At roughly 15x forward earnings, the valuation appears fair for a business with declining revenue and modest recovery prospects.
Outlook for 2027: What Could Skyworks Be Worth?
Based on analysts’ average estimates, TIKR’s Guided Valuation Model using a 15x forward P/E suggests Skyworks could trade near $84/share by 2027. That represents about 6% total returns, or roughly 3% annualized growth from current levels.
While this would mark a steady recovery, it already assumes modest improvement in revenue trends and stable margins. To deliver stronger upside, Skyworks would need to outperform in automotive and industrial segments or see a sustained rebound in global smartphone demand.
For investors, Skyworks looks like a dependable, cash-generating compounder rather than a high-growth story. The path to meaningful gains depends on management’s ability to successfully expand beyond mobile and capture faster-growing connectivity opportunities.
