Antipodes Global Fund Antipodes Partners Limited | “We have continued to lean into a cluster of analog, power, RF (radio frequency) and specialty-semiconductor names over the Quarter. Qorvo and Skyworks Solutions are global RF semiconductor suppliers spanning mobile, infrastructure, aerospace and defence. The market is anchored on their past underperformance and their heavy smartphone concentration. Qorvo/Skyworks have a pending merger which will produce a business with better scale and a structurally lower cost base. The merger should reduce duplicated manufacturing footprint, leverage their combined R&D base and most importantly pool their RF technology to reduce single-socket risk. Beyond handsets, both companies are pivoting into structurally growing markets such as datacentre power and connectivity, automotive connectivity, and defence and aerospace communications.” | NEUTRAL | Q2 2026 Jul 25, 2026 | View Pitch |
Antipodes Global Fund Antipodes Partners Limited | “Skyworks Solutions is being added to leverage resilient demand for analog and RF semiconductors driven by industrial automation and electrification. The pending merger with Qorvo will create a lower-cost, scaled competitor capable of expanding beyond smartphones into high-growth sectors.” | BULL | Q2 2026 Jun 30, 2026 | View Pitch |
Vulcan Value Partners - Large Cap C.T. Fitzpatrick | “Skyworks is a prominent RF systems manufacturer with cyclical but mission-critical components. However, recent market share losses to a competitor led the firm to conclude that the company's economic moat was weaker than originally believed, prompting exits across several portfolios.” | BEAR | Q1 2025 Mar 31, 2025 | View Pitch |
Vulcan Value Partners Focus Plus Vulcan Value Partners LLC | “Skyworks operates as an RF system provider, but recently lost vital market share to a competitor. This market share loss prompted the fund to reevaluate the company's competitive position and ultimately conclude that its economic moat is weaker than originally estimated. Consequently, the position was fully liquidated to reallocate capital into superior opportunities.” | BEAR | Q1 2025 Mar 31, 2025 | View Pitch |
Vulcan Value Partners - Small Cap C.T. Fitzpatrick | “The RF systems manufacturer maintains high barriers to entry and mission-critical operations, though it recently lost market share to a competitor. This setback led the manager to acknowledge a weaker economic moat than previously believed, prompting a partial exit from some portfolios to fund more entrenched alternatives. It still remains a leading player in a consolidated industry.” | BEAR | Q1 2025 Mar 31, 2025 | View Pitch |
