Skyworks quarterly revenue falls on slowing auto chip demand
July 30 (Reuters) -Skyworks Solutions SWKS.O reported a drop in third-quarter revenue, hurt by sluggish demand for chips used in the automotive industry, sending its shares down by nearly 5% in extended trading.
Slower-than-expected sales of electric vehicles as consumers pulled back on discretionary spending have weighed on companies such as Skyworks and Wolfspeed WOLF.N.
The company's automotive customers include Tesla TSLA.O, Ford Motor F.N and General Motors GM.N.
Skyworks had said in April it expects about 10% lower content in the next generation of the iPhone compared to the current version Apple AAPL.O sells.
The chip company reported revenue of $905.5 million for the quarter ended June 28, lower than $1.07 billion, a year earlier. Analysts expected revenue of $900.4 million in the fiscal third quarter.
It expects revenue between $1 billion and $1.04 billion in the fiscal fourth quarter, largely above analysts' average estimate of $1.01 billion, according to LSEG data.
Apple's smartphone shipments rose in the April-June period, but its market share fell to 15.8% from 16.6%, a year earlier, according to IDC data.
Skyworks' net income fell to 75 cents per share in the third fiscal quarter from $1.22, a year earlier.
