Economic Moat

Evidence of durable competitive advantage in the filed financials (9 years of history).

No moat evidenceMoat evidence score: 41/100

The numbers don't show a durable competitive advantage — margins, growth, or returns on capital have been unstable or thin. Great returns are still possible; they just aren't protected.

A moat can't be proven by numbers alone — this scores the evidence a durable advantage leaves behind (pricing power, consistency, returns on capital), computed the same way for every stock. Pair it with the business overview before concluding anything.

Technical Analysis (Educational)
Research

Technical analysis reads price and volume to judge momentum and timing. It complements the fundamentals above — it does not replace them. Here is what SWKS's chart says today, with each tool explained.

Trend — moving averages. A moving average is the average closing price over a window, which smooths out daily noise. SWKS trades near $68.40, around its 50-day average ($71.00) and 200-day average ($66.17). Price tangled in its moving averages means there is no clear trend — the stock is ranging.

Momentum — RSI. The Relative Strength Index runs 0–100 and measures how strong recent gains are versus losses. Above 70 is "overbought", below 30 "oversold". At 34 it is in neutral territory — neither stretched nor washed out.

MACD. MACD compares two moving averages to flag shifts in momentum. Its histogram is currently negative — short-term momentum is fading.

Volatility — ATR. Average True Range is the typical daily move. SWKS's is $4.22 (~6.2% of price), so swings of about that size each day are normal — handy for setting a stop that isn't too tight.

Support & resistance. Over the last month SWKS found buyers near $62.00 (support) and sellers near $81.87 (resistance); its 52-week range is $51.93–$90.90. A decisive break beyond either edge often marks the next move.

Volume. The latest session traded 1.1× the 20-day average — about normal. Rising volume on up-days suggests real buying; on down-days, real selling.

In the latest year Skyworks Solutions produced about $1.30B of operating cash flow and $1.11B of free cash flow after capital spending. That is a free-cash-flow yield of about 13.9% on today's price. Strong cash generation funds dividends, buybacks, and reinvestment.

Dividend Safety

Can the payout survive a bad year? Scored from filed cash flow, earnings coverage, and the raise/cut record.

The dividend is being paid, but coverage or consistency is thinner than an income investor should rely on without a closer look.

EV / EBITDA

SWKS trades at 29.1x trailing earnings (about 30.9x on estimated forward earnings), 2.7x sales, and 1.9x book value. Reverse-engineering today's price implies the market expects roughly -2.5% long-term free-cash-flow growth. That is a premium multiple that needs growth to justify it.

Bull Case

The case for SWKS:

  • Healthy free-cash-flow yield (~13.9%) funds buybacks and dividends.
  • A conservative balance sheet (debt/equity 0.2x) lowers risk.
  • Pays a 3.7% dividend on top of any price gains.
Bear Case

The case against SWKS:

  • Revenue growth is slow (2.3%), limiting the upside engine.
  • Like any single stock, it is exposed to competition, the economic cycle, and shifts in its end markets.
Key Risks
Research

Growth risk — sluggish revenue (2.3%) leaves little margin for execution missteps.

Market risk — sector rotation, the economic cycle, and broad sentiment move the stock regardless of fundamentals.

Investment Thesis
Research

It trades at 29.1x earnings, which our model scores Neutral (44/100). Weigh this against your own goals and time horizon — this is educational information, not a recommendation.
