New York, Jan 25, 2026, 21:39 ET — Market closed
- Qorvo shares ended down 0.8% at $80.91, ahead of earnings set for Tuesday after the close
- Traders await updates on handset demand and profit margins
- Sentiment on suppliers might shift once Apple reports its results later this week
Qorvo Inc shares slipped 0.8% to close at $80.91 on Friday, as investors braced for a crucial earnings report that could shape the stock’s direction next week.
Qorvo is set to report its fiscal third-quarter results after Tuesday’s market close, with a conference call to follow. Investors will be watching closely for signs of demand for RF (radio-frequency) chips, which power smartphones and other connected devices. The report will also shed light on how well Qorvo is maintaining its margins amid shifting customer inventories. (Qorvo)
This comes during a crowded U.S. earnings period, when chip stocks often move in sync. Shifts in major players frequently ripple through to smaller suppliers, even absent news tied to individual companies.
Qorvo’s shares fluctuated Friday, hitting a low of $80.12 and peaking at $82.10, following an opening price of $81.42, per market data. Roughly 1.5 million shares changed hands.
Qorvo announced it will release its earnings around 4 p.m. ET on Jan. 27, followed by a conference call at 4:30 p.m. ET. (Qorvo)
Greensboro, North Carolina’s supplier of radio-frequency components for phones has been under the spotlight since last year, when it agreed to merge with Skyworks Solutions in a stock-and-cash deal. That transaction is still awaiting approval. (Reuters)
Investors will keep an eye on earnings from other major U.S. firms this week, which could move the needle for semiconductors and consumer electronics. Apple’s report arrives Thursday, offering a key indicator for parts suppliers linked to iPhone sales. (Kiplinger)
A weaker forecast from Qorvo might weigh most heavily if it signals slower handset production, tougher pricing pressures, or flagging demand beyond its main phone segment. New updates on the Skyworks deal’s timing or regulatory hurdles could also shake the stock, even without changes to the underlying fundamentals.
The next major trigger comes Tuesday after the close, followed by the 4:30 p.m. ET call. Investors will zero in on the company’s forecast (guidance) for this quarter, along with remarks about customer demand and inventory.
