Why is Skyworks Solutions stock plunging today?

Skyworks Solutions (SWKS) stock fell 14.9% after hours due to Q1 fiscal 2027 guidance missing expectations. The company projected Q1 EPS of $1.25 (vs. $1.50 consensus) and revenue of $1.8B-$1.9B (vs. ~$2B expected). The guidance shortfall is attributed to integration challenges post-merger with Qorvo, with near-term cost savings expected to be limited. The NASDAQ and S&P 500 showed minimal movement, indicating the selloff was company-specific.
