Skyworks Solutions shares fell more than 14% in extended trading after the chipmaker issued a November 3 forecast that put both first-quarter revenue and adjusted profit below Wall Street estimates.

The company projected revenue between $1.80 billion and $1.90 billion for the first quarter, against an analyst estimate of about $1.99 billion. Its adjusted earnings forecast was $1.25 per share, compared with expectations of about $1.52, based on estimates compiled by LSEG.

Skyworks expects smartphone revenue to fall sequentially by a percentage in the low teens, citing seasonal patterns and weakness in the premium Android segment.

For the fiscal fourth quarter, the company posted $1.05 billion in revenue, exceeding the $1.04 billion analysts had expected. Skyworks also said its acquisition of Qorvo closed after that quarter ended. It expects the combined business to deliver annual cost savings of at least $500 million.
