Skyworks Q3 FY2026: $934.8 million revenue, $0.22 GAAP EPS, Q4 guide up
Skyworks topped its own revenue guide and beat the non-GAAP EPS consensus, but GAAP profit collapsed to $33.9 million from $105.0 million and free cash flow turned negative. Read it in two layers: the demand story (mobile seasonal ramp, Broad Markets growth) is intact, while the Qorvo-related capital reset — no more dividend, a new $2 billion buyback, about $2 billion of acquisition debt — is the real swing factor for the next year.

Free preview belowGAAP diluted EPS was $0.22 against $0.70 a year ago, a drop that tracks the weaker gross margin and $19.8 million of restructuring, impairment and other charges. Non-GAAP diluted EPS of $1.08 cleared the $1.0355 consensus by roughly $0.04, and non-GAAP net income of $163.7 million versus GAAP net income of $33.9 million shows how much of the profit gap comes from excluded items. The exclusions are large: $53.2 million of share-based compensation, $25.7 million of acquisition-related expenses, $34.2 million of intangible amortization and $22.0 million of restructuring.
Revenue of $934.8 million was 3.1% below the $965.0 million booked a year earlier and 0.9% below the $943.7 million of FY26 Q2. Gross margin slipped to 40.1% from 41.6% a year ago and 40.8% last quarter, so the decline is both annual and sequential. Cost of revenue of $559.8 million still swallowed 59.9% of every revenue dollar.
Management guided the September quarter to revenue of $1,010 million to $1,060 million, a midpoint of $1,035 million with a 2.4% tolerance band, plus non-GAAP diluted EPS of $1.27 at the midpoint. The guide includes about $5 million of incremental net interest expense, or roughly $0.03 per share, from a partial quarter of financing costs tied to the pending Qorvo acquisition. Management also expects Mobile to grow sequentially in the high-teens range and Broad Markets to grow about 5% year over year at roughly 39% of sales.
