Shares of Skyworks Solutions (SWKS), the maker of chips for mobile phones, are soaring 19% after the company posted fiscal third-quarter results that topped analysts’ estimates and gave fourth-quarter guidance that impressed investors. Investors are loving the news as the RF Semiconductor Stocks Index is surging 9.8%.
