    Skyworks Solutions, Inc. (SWKS) is a semiconductor company headquartered in Woburn, Massachusetts.

    The company manufactures semiconductors for use in radio frequency (RF) and mobile communications systems. Its products include power amplifiers, front end modules and RF products for handsets and wireless infrastructure equipment. The Company's portfolio includes amplifiers, attenuators, circulators, demodulators, detectors, diodes, directional couplers, front-end modules, hybrids, infrastructure RF subsystems, isolators, lighting and display solutions, mixers, modulators, optocouplers, optoisolators, phase shifters, PLLs/synthesizers/VCOs, power dividers/combiners, power management devices, receivers, switches and technical ceramics.

    During 2009 and 2010, Skyworks benefitted from industry moves towards higher-end mobile phones with multi-band communication, exiting fiscal year 2010 with revenue of $1,072 million. Although operating in a market dominated by big name companies, it doubled its share price in one year, and in March 2010 was tipped by the Forbes-owned Investopedia website as one of three "not-so-famous" stocks likely to give good capital returns in 2010.

    The company formed as a result of a merger of Alpha Industries and the wireless communications division of Conexant, which took effect on 26 June 2002. Headquartered in Woburn, Massachusetts, Skyworks has manufacturing facilities in Woburn, Newbury Park, California and Mexicali, Mexico and design centers in Irvine, California, Santa Rosa, California, Newbury Park, Woburn, Greensboro, North Carolina and Cedar Rapids, Iowa. The music video for The Postal Service's song "Such Great Heights" is set in the Newbury Park chip fabrication plant. According to its website, the company has design, engineering, manufacturing, marketing, sales and service facilities throughout North America, Europe, Japan and Asia.

    A Skyworks 2614B 315BB seem to be used in some hardware revisions of the PlayStation 4.

    On October 5, 2015, Skyworks Solutions entered a definitive agreement to acquire PMC-Sierra for two Billion in Cash. However, Skyworks walked away from the deal upon being outbid by Microsemi.

    Skyworks is a leading supplier of radio frequency chips to smartphone makers and other electronics manufacturers such as Apple. Although the company faces an intensely competitive landscape, Skyworks should succeed in the coming years as the handset industry focuses on high-end 4G LTE smartphones, which usually require higher RF dollar content per phone.

    Skyworks Solutions (SWKS) has released yet another record quarter, but the stock has been hit hard because of its link to apple. Yet, this company could benefit from the new 5G infrastructure and the increased in connected cars. At PE of 13.8, expected growth (5 yrs) above 11%, an solid balance sheet, this is a good company.
