Mobile products revenue jumped 37% sequentially to $667 million
For the December 2018 quarter, the company expects EPS of $1.95, which is at the midpoint of guidance and revenue to range between $880 million and $900 million. Commenting on the guidance, CFO Mark Murphy said, “Our outlook calls for a strong December quarter with higher volumes and ongoing cost control, and it factors in a more measured view on demand from China-based handset manufacturers.”
Mobile products revenue jumped 37% sequentially to $667 million. Infrastructure and defense products revenue was up 15% year-over-year. Apart from the growth in smartphones and IDP business, Qorvo’s presence in the Internet of Things (IoT) is expected to benefit the company in the future.
