    Detailed SWOT Analysis of Skyworks Solutions

    The detailed SWOT analysis for Skyworks Solutions, Inc. is presented below:

    Threat

    1. Foreign exchange risk: Substantially all sales to customers and arrangements with third-party manufacturers provide for pricing and payment in US dollars, thereby reducing the impact of foreign exchange rate fluctuations on our results. A percentage of their international operational expenses are denominated in foreign currencies and exchange rate volatility could positively or negatively impact those operating costs. Increases in the value of the United States dollar relative to other currencies could make their products more expensive, which could negatively impact their ability to compete. Conversely, decreases in the value of the United States dollar relative to other currencies could result in their suppliers raising their prices to continue doing business with us. Given the relatively small number of customers and arrangements with third-party manufacturers denominated in foreign currencies, they do not believe that foreign exchange volatility has a material impact on their current business or results of operations. However, fluctuations in currency exchange rates could have a greater effect on their business or results of operations in the future to the extent their expenses increasingly become denominated in foreign currencies.
