Can an Expanding Portfolio Help Skyworks' Shares Recover in 2026?

Skyworks Solutions SWKS shares have declined 32.8% in a year, underperforming the Zacks Computer & Technology sector’s return of 26.3%. The company is suffering from a challenging macroeconomic environment, ongoing inventory digestion in certain end markets and uncertainty over tariffs. However, an expanding portfolio bodes well for the company’s prospects.

At CES 2026, Skyworks introduced the industry’s first highly integrated Wi-SUN/LoRaWAN RF front-end modules (FEM) named SKY66424-11. The FEM is exclusively meant for smart home and smart city applications. The specialty of the SKY66424-11 is the combination of advanced SAW or acoustic filtering, amplification and switching, compared with other discrete solutions comprising an LNA, a switch, a filter and interstage matching. This combination helps the company to reduce loss in a single compact design, coupled with improved performance and simplified connectivity for next-generation infrastructure.

Skyworks' expanding portfolio of automotive-grade solutions includes V2X Front-end Modules and Notch Filters, and SKY5A2110, which is a GNSS L1 + L5 Dual-Frequency Automotive LNA FEM built for next-generation GNSS receiver applications.

Robust Mobile and Broad Markets to Boost SWKS’ Prospects

Skyworks is benefiting from robust demand in both Mobile and Broad Markets. Huge customer demand and new AI-driven Android products are driving the Mobile Markets, whereas the Broad Markets are witnessing remarkable growth across edge IoT, automotive and infrastructure, supported by WiFi 7 adoption, connected vehicles and AI-driven updates.

Skyworks offers the broadest portfolio of radio and analog solutions, from the transceiver to the antenna, as well as all required manufacturing process technologies. SWKS is a leader in passive devices and advanced integration, including proprietary shielding and 3-D die stacking, as well as SAW, TC-SAW and BAW filters. The company has roughly 5000 worldwide patents and intellectual property.
