SWKS has slipped 3.9% from its 52-week high of $92.30, reached recently on September 11, 2026. Over the past three months, SWKS shares have gained 22.5%, outpacing the Dow Jones Industrial Average ($DOWI), which posted only marginal gains over the same period.

SWKS shares have climbed 40% year-to-date and 12.4% over the past 52 weeks, outpacing the Dow's 8.3% year-to-date gain while matching its 12.4% return over the past year.

The stock has surged above both its 50-day and 200-day moving averages since early August, pointing to a sharp acceleration in upward momentum.

Skyworks Solutions' recent rally has been notable, with shares gaining 61.6% over the six months through September 16, 2026. The advance was partly supported by solid quarterly results and positive developments surrounding the company's planned merger with Qorvo. On September 11, shares rose 9.1% in the morning session after CEO Phil Brace said the $22 billion transaction had reached its final stages, with only two regulatory jurisdictions remaining. The update provided fresh momentum as investors responded positively to progress toward completing the merger.
