Skyworks Solutions announced that it will showcase its SKYR60002 early‑6G front‑end power amplifier at Mobile World Congress 2026 in Barcelona, which runs from March 2 to March 5. The company will also display a reference design from MediaTek that incorporates the SKYR60002 low‑noise amplifier and power‑amplifier stages, underscoring a joint effort to deliver a fully integrated solution that meets the 3GPP FR3 band requirements for 6G.
The SKYR60002 module covers the 6.425 GHz to > 7 GHz range, integrates band‑selective filters, and delivers high linearity and wide bandwidth—key attributes for the next‑generation wireless ecosystem. In addition, Skyworks will present the SKY58287‑11 Ultra‑High‑Band PC1 front‑end, which is engineered for MediaTek’s network‑infrastructure products. The module’s advanced packaging reduces thermal resistance, eliminating the need for a heat sink and simplifying system design for fixed‑wireless and broadband applications.
Skyworks’ most recent quarterly results, released on February 3, 2026, showed a non‑GAAP earnings per share of $1.54, beating analyst estimates of $1.40 by $0.14. Revenue for the quarter was $1.04 billion, a 3.1% decline year‑over‑year, and the company’s net margin fell to 9.7%. Management attributed the earnings beat to disciplined cost control and a favorable product mix, while the revenue decline was driven by seasonal softness in the mobile segment and a lower volume mix. Guidance for the next quarter projects revenue between $875 million and $925 million and a non‑GAAP EPS of $1.04, reflecting expectations of a 20% sequential decline in the mobile segment.
CEO Phil Brace noted that Skyworks “delivered results above our expectations for the fourth consecutive quarter, with outperformance across revenue, gross margin, and non‑GAAP earnings.” CFO Philip Carter added that the quarter‑to‑quarter decline in gross margin was “mostly due to typical seasonality in mobile and lower volume, and also cited a slightly higher mix of Android.” These comments highlight the company’s focus on maintaining profitability while navigating cyclical demand swings.
The 6G demonstration signals Skyworks’ strategic pivot beyond its traditional mobile‑RF focus. By partnering with MediaTek, the company is positioning itself as a key supplier for future 5G‑to‑6G chipsets, while the SKY58287‑11 module expands its footprint into fixed‑wireless and broadband markets. This diversification reduces reliance on its largest customer, Apple, and opens new revenue streams in automotive, industrial, and IoT segments.
Investors noted the earnings beat but expressed caution due to the revenue decline and margin compression. The market’s tempered reaction reflects concerns about short‑term revenue softness while recognizing the company’s disciplined cost management and its proactive move into the emerging 6G space.
