<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<h3>Comparing Skyworks Solutions's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Skyworks Solutions's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 4.97%, which means the company has more short interest than most of its peers.

Wall Street's Most Accurate Analysts Weigh In On 3 Tech Stocks With Over 4% Dividend Yields

Shares of semiconductor stocks are trading lower. The sector has been under pressure amid tariff uncertainty.

Trading in shares of Skyworks Solutions, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SWKS#NASDAQ">SWKS</a>) is quiet Monday. This follows Friday's move higher of 8.5%. There is a good chance the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/02/43976065/why-polaris-merck-and-skyworks-solutions-are-winners-for-passive-income">stock continues to rally</a>.
The shares are moving into a ‘gap'. This could be bullish. It's why Skyworks is our <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/stock-of-the-day">Stock of the Day</a>.
In a financial market, resistance is a price level or narrow zone where there is a large amount of sell interest.
If a stock is trending higher it's because there aren't enough sell orders to fill all of the buy orders. Investors and traders who wish to purchase shares are forced to pay premiums and outbid each other. This forces the stock into an uptrend.
When it reaches resistance, the dynamic changes. There are enough sell orders to fill all of the buy orders. This makes the uptrend end or pause.
One of the main reasons why resistance forms is buyer's remorse. This happens when people regret buying if the price drops after. Some vow to get out if they can eventually do so at breakeven.

So, if the stock rallies back to the price they paid, they place sell orders. This is why the $95.00 level for Skyworks converted from support into resistance.
Many who purchased shares around the support level came to regret doing so when the support broke in late October. When the stock rallied back to $95 in January they sold. The large concentration of this selling created resistance at a former support level.
As you can see on the chart below, the stock gapped down in early February. This means it closed at one price, and opened the next day at a price that was significantly lower. This shows up as a blank space or a ‘gap' on a chart.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="527" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/10110705/122-1024x527.png" alt="" class="wp-image-816984" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/10110705/122-1024x527.png 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/10110705/122-300x154.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/10110705/122-768x395.png 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/10110705/122-1536x791.png 1536w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/10110705/122.png 1581w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>
Because there was no trading in between these prices, no one bought shares. This means that now that Skyworks is moving into the price levels it gapped through going in the opposite direction, there may not be a lot of sell interest.
Buyers may be forced to be aggressive and push the price higher to draw in sellers. This could result in a rapid move upwards. It could ‘refill' the gap.

Stock Of The Day: Will Skyworks Refill The Gap And Head Higher?

Shares of semiconductor stocks are trading higher following strong guidance from Broadcom.

Shares of chip stocks are trading higher, rebounding after falling this week in sympathy with NVIDIA.

On Monday, Apple Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/artificial-intelligence" rel="noreferrer noopener">committed over $500 billion</a> in investment in the U.S. over the next four years to support initiatives including artificial intelligence silicon engineering.
CEO Tim Cook noted that Apple is doubling its advanced manufacturing fund to build advanced technology in Texas.
The $500 billion commitment includes Apple Intelligence infrastructure, data centers, and Apple TV+ productions.

In the next four years, Apple plans to hire around 20,000 people, most of whom will focus on R&amp;D, silicon engineering, software development, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2025/02/apple-will-spend-more-than-500-billion-usd-in-the-us-over-the-next-four-years/" rel="noreferrer noopener">AI, and machine learning</a>.
Apple is doubling its U.S. advanced manufacturing fund from $5 billion to $10 billion. The fund&#8217;s expansion includes a multibillion-dollar commitment from Apple to produce advanced silicon in Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co&#8217;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSM#NYSE">TSM</a>) Fab 21 facility in Arizona.
Apple is the largest customer at this facility, employing over 2,000 workers. Mass production of Apple chips began in January.
Apple&#8217;s investments in the sector help create thousands of jobs across the country at U.S. companies like Broadcom Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AVGO#NASDAQ">AVGO</a>), Texas Instruments Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TXN#NASDAQ">TXN</a>), Skyworks Solutions Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SWKS#NASDAQ">SWKS</a>), and Qorvo Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QRVO#NASDAQ">QRVO</a>).
Apple and its partners will launch a new advanced manufacturing facility in Houston to produce servers that support Apple Intelligence.
Apple will also double its U.S. advanced manufacturing fund, create an academy in Michigan to train the next generation of U.S. manufacturers and grow its research and development investments in the U.S.
Apple will work with manufacturing partners to begin production of servers in Houston later this year. A 250,000-square-foot server manufacturing facility, likely to open in 2026, will create thousands of jobs.
Previously manufactured outside the U.S., the servers that will soon be assembled in Houston play a key role in powering Apple Intelligence and are the foundation of private cloud computing for AI cloud computing.
As Apple brings Apple Intelligence to customers across the U.S., it plans to expand its data center capacity in North Carolina, Iowa, Oregon, Arizona, and Nevada.

Insights From Analysts
Sonu Varghese, VP global Macro Strategist at Carson Global, allayed concerns that the U.S. government jobs cut undertaken by Tesla Inc. CEO Elon Musk-led Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) will hamper the labor market.
"Irrespective of what happens, or does not happen, the turnover in federal government payrolls is going to be tiny compared to what's happening in the overall labor market," he said.
He added that even if the Trump administration laid off everyone except those in Veteran Affairs and crucial defense-related areas, the churn would still be 1.2 million workers – less than an average of 3.4 million workers who quit jobs every month during the fourth quarter.

Among the leading sectors, financial stocks outperformed after the Fed released the framework for 2025 bank stress test. The big six banks — JPMorgan Chase &amp; Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JPM#NYSE">JPM</a>), Bank of America Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BAC#NYSE">BAC</a>), Wells Fargo &amp; Co.

(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GS#NYSE">GS</a>), Morgan Stanley (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MS#NYSE">MS</a>), and Citigroup (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/C#NYSE">C</a>) — all climbed more than 1%, with Citigroup surging 2.9%.
Eli Lilly Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LLY#NYSE">LLY</a>) jumped 3.2% after topping earnings estimates, while Tapestry Inc.

(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PM#NYSE">PM</a>) skyrocketed nearly 10% on strong revenue figures. In contrast, Qualcomm (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QCOM#NASDAQ">QCOM</a>) slid 4.3% on concerns over slowing smartphone demand.
Shares of Palantir Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NYSE">PLTR</a>) surged 6.5%, extending its weekly gains to 30.8%, the stock's best weekly rally since early November.
Oil prices had a volatile session. Crude initially dipped as speculation mounted over a potential Trump-Putin meeting as early as this month or next, raising hopes for possible peace talks in Ukraine. Prices rebounded after the U.S. Treasury imposed sanctions on Iran's oil network.
Gold softened, dropping 0.6% from record highs and snapping a five-session winning streak.
Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) remained stable, hovering just below $97,000.

Stocks Edge Higher, Bank Giants Rally, Palantir Skyrockets: What's Driving Markets Thursday?

Skyworks Solutions, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SWKS#NASDAQ">SWKS</a>) shares are<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/movers" rel="noreferrer noopener"> trading lower on Thursday.</a>
Yesterday, the company reported quarterly financial results and&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/02/g43512179/inseego-announces-chairman-of-the-board-transition" rel="noreferrer noopener">announced a CEO transition</a>.
Skyworks expects second-quarter revenue to be between $935 million and $965 million, and <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/02/43536079/whats-going-on-with-skyworks-solutions-stock-thursday" rel="noreferrer noopener">adjusted earnings of $1.20 per share.</a>
Here are the analysts&#8217; <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/SWKS/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">take on the stock:</a>
<ul>
<li>Stifel analyst Ruben Roy downgraded Skyworks to Hold from Buy, lowering the price forecast to $62 from $105.</li>
<li>KeyBanc Capital Markets analyst John Vinh reiterated the Sector Weight rating on the stock.</li>
<li>Raymond James analyst Srini Pajjuri maintained the Market Perform rating on the stock.</li>
</ul>
Stifel: Roy noted that the firm had lost content with its largest customer, Apple Inc., due to a dual-sourced socket strategy, with Broadcom Inc. as the second source.
A 20%-25% content reduction is expected in the iPhone 17, and recovery isn&#8217;t likely until Apple shifts more toward internally sourced modems.
As a result, revenue and profitability are expected to be much lower than previous forecasts through FY26, Roy writes.

The analyst lowered FY25 EPS estimates to $4.69 from $5.85.
Skyworks&#8217; recovery may begin in FY27 with the iPhone 18, depending on Apple&#8217;s modem progress.
However, increased competition and dual-sourcing risks remain long-term, Roy writes.
KeyBanc Capital Markets: Per Vinh, the flat iPhone unit estimate balances out the potential content gain opportunity, while a greater focus on non-mobile markets could improve earnings predictability and long-term growth.
Skyworks is well-positioned to capitalize on the growing wireless connectivity demands from the Internet of Things, per the analyst.
Additionally, industry consolidation is expected to lead to pricing stability and margin expansion. The shift to 5G should open up increasing content opportunities, supporting growth above the industry average, the analyst writes.
Vinh lowered the FY25 EPS estimate to $4.67 from $5.43.
Raymond James: The analyst projects Apple&#8217;s 5G modem transition to be a multi-year process, which could slow the recovery pace.
Android sales remained flat quarter-over-quarter, contributing less than 10% of revenue.
Skyworks secured 5G content for several premium Android smartphones and anticipates continued growth to help offset the content decline at Apple.
Looking ahead, management projects a seasonal decline in Mobile revenue, with a drop in the mid to high-teens percentage range for the March 2025 quarter, the analyst notes.
Price Action: SWKS shares are trading lower by 23.4% to $66.71 at last check Thursday.

To gain an edge, this is what you need to know today.
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">10 Year In Focus</h4>
Please <a href="https://thearorareport.com/chart-analysis-stock-market-trump-focused-on-10-year-tlt-mc-02062025">click here</a> for an enlarged chart of iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TLT#NASDAQ">TLT</a>).
Note the following:
<ul>
<li>The chart shows TLT had previously touched the top band of the support zone.</li>
<li>The chart shows yesterday TLT broke out above the top band of the support zone.  TLT took a leg up for two main reasons:
<ul>
<li>Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said that Trump wants to focus on the 10-year yield to reduce borrowing costs instead of the Fed's short term benchmark.</li>
<li>The details of the Treasury funding.  Yesterday, we wrote:</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">In an important development, the Treasury announced&nbsp; $125B of securities, from 3 year to 30 year, to refund approximately $106B Treasuries maturing on February 15.&nbsp; So far, the stock market likes this development, and there is aggressive buying on this news.
</blockquote>
<ul>
<li>Rallying bonds means lower yields.  Rallying bonds are also a positive for the stock market.</li>
<li>Initial jobless claims came at 219K vs. 213K consensus.  This data adds to the murky jobs picture.  The official jobs report will be released tomorrow at 8:30am ET.  The official jobs report may bring clarity to the murky jobs picture and the data may be market moving.</li>
<li>Arm Holdings American Depositary Shares (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARM#NASDAQ">ARM</a>) is a British company.  Its processor design is used in over 90% of smartphones, including iPhones.  In The Arora Report analysis, ARM stock is one of the bigger beneficiaries of the future AI move to the edge.  Arm is guiding $0.48 &#8211; $0.56 vs. $0.52 consensus, but whisper numbers have been much higher.  ARM stock is falling on guidance below whisper numbers. In The Arora Report analysis, Arm guidance is raising a concern that the growth of AI to the edge may be slower than the market currently expects.  However, Wall Street firms are coming to Arm's defense and raising targets on ARM stock.</li>
<li>Qualcomm Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QCOM#NASDAQ">QCOM</a>) earnings and guidance are better than the consensus and whisper numbers.  However, the stock is under pressure on slowing smartphone growth. As full disclosure, QCOM is in The Arora Report&#8217;s ZYX Buy Core Model Portfolio.  As the stock market is focused on slowing smartphone growth, in The Arora Report analysis, investors should look forward as Qualcomm will be a major beneficiary of AI's move to the edge.</li>
<li>The reaction to earnings from Arm and Qualcomm demonstrates crosscurrents.  As a reader of The Arora Report, you have an advantage as The Arora Report is one of the rare resources that has a long track record of helping investors successfully navigate crosscurrents.</li>
<li>Dependence on Apple Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) has its perils.  Skyworks Solutions Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SWKS#NASDAQ">SWKS</a>) has been a main supplier of RF components to Apple.  SWKS stock is falling 28% on the news that Apple is going to shift some of its business to another vendor.  In The Arora Report analysis, the other vendor is likely Broadcom Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AVGO#NASDAQ">AVGO</a>).  As full disclosure, there is a sympathy short trade on this news in Qorvo Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QRVO#NASDAQ">QRVO</a>).  It is too late to short SWKS.  </li>
<li>Several food stocks have been under pressure, especially hard hit have been those impacted by rising prices of cocoa.  This morning, sentiment is lifting on these stocks as chocolate maker Hershey Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HSY#NYSE">HSY</a>) beat earnings.</li>
<li>Eli Lilly And Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LLY#NYSE">LLY</a>) has been the best performing pharmaceutical stock due to the popularity of its weight loss drugs.  LLY beat the consensus and whisper numbers and provided a very positive update on the pipeline.   In the early trade, LLY stock is volatile in the premarket, having traded at low as $812.18 and as high as $875.  Prudent investors need to note that the wide range in a very short time seen in LLY stock this morning is becoming typical in many many stocks.  As a practical tip, in this market it is imperative to scale in and scale out.  As full disclosure, LLY is in the ZYX Buy Core Model Portfolio.  </li>
</ul>
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Magnificent Seven Money Flows</h4>
In the early trade, money flows are positive in Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>), Meta Platforms Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>), and NVIDIA Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>).
In the early trade, money flows are neutral in Microsoft Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>).
In the early trade, money flows are negative in AAPL, Alphabet Inc Class C (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>), and Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>).
In the early trade, money flows are mixed in SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) and Invesco QQQ Trust Series 1 (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>).
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Momo Crowd And Smart Money In Stocks</h4>
Investors can gain an edge by knowing money flows in SPY and QQQ.&nbsp; Investors can get a bigger edge by knowing when smart money is buying stocks, gold, and oil.&nbsp; The most popular ETF for gold is SPDR Gold Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GLD#NYSE">GLD</a>).&nbsp; The most popular ETF for silver is iShares Silver Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SLV#NYSE">SLV</a>).&nbsp; The most popular ETF for oil is United States Oil ETF (ASCA:USO).
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Bitcoin</h4>
Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) is range bound.
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Protection Band And What To Do Now</h4>
It is important for investors to look ahead and not in the rearview mirror.&nbsp; The proprietary protection band from The Arora Report is very popular.&nbsp; The protection band puts all of the data, all of the indicators, all of the news, all of the crosscurrents, all of the models, and all of the analysis in an analytical framework that is easily actionable by investors.
Consider continuing to hold good, very long term, existing positions. Based on individual risk preference, consider a protection band consisting of cash or Treasury bills or short-term tactical trades as well as short to medium term hedges and short term hedges. This is a good way to protect yourself and participate in the upside at the same time.
You can determine your protection bands by adding cash to hedges.&nbsp; The high band of the protection is appropriate for those who are older or conservative. The low band of the protection is appropriate for those who are younger or aggressive.&nbsp; If you do not hedge, the total cash level should be more than stated above but significantly less than cash plus hedges.
A protection band of 0% would be very bullish and would indicate full investment with 0% in cash.&nbsp; A protection band of 100% would be very bearish and would indicate a need for aggressive protection with cash and hedges or aggressive short selling.
It is worth reminding that you cannot take advantage of new upcoming opportunities if you are not holding enough cash.&nbsp; When adjusting hedge levels, consider adjusting partial stop quantities for stock positions (non ETF); consider using wider stops on remaining quantities and also allowing more room for high beta stocks.&nbsp; High beta stocks are the ones that move more than the market.
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Traditional 60/40 Portfolio</h4>
Probability based risk reward adjusted for inflation does not favor long duration strategic bond allocation at this time.
Those who want to stick to traditional 60% allocation to stocks and 40% to bonds may consider focusing on only high quality bonds and bonds of five year duration or less.  Those willing to bring sophistication to their investing may consider using bond ETFs as tactical positions and not strategic positions at this time.
The Arora Report is known for its accurate calls. The Arora Report correctly called the big artificial intelligence rally before anyone else, the new bull market of 2023, the bear market of 2022, new stock market highs right after the virus low in 2020, the virus drop in 2020, the DJIA rally to 30,000 when it was trading at 16,000, the start of a mega bull market in 2009, and the financial crash of 2008.
