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.

<h2>The Significance of Analyst Ratings Explained</h2>
Within the domain of banking and financial systems, analysts specialize in reporting for specific stocks or defined sectors. Their work involves attending company conference calls and meetings, researching company financial statements, and communicating with insiders to publish "analyst ratings" for stocks. Analysts typically assess and rate each stock once per quarter.
Analysts may supplement their ratings with predictions for metrics like growth estimates, earnings, and revenue, offering investors a more comprehensive outlook. However, investors should be mindful that analysts, like any human, can have subjective perspectives influencing their forecasts.

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.

<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">Momo Crowd And Smart Money In Stocks</h4>

<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.
