Hi Saleem,
QRVO is a steal down here. The only blemish was the lower gross margins which is a direct result of very high volume in certain products (listening to call). I wish I could trade in after hours for the retirement account. I picked up some in my trading account @ 57.40. This could easily flip to positive by tomorrow morning.

Hi Saleem,
Also listened to the first half hour of the DATA call. They lowered guidance for Q3 and year...and are trading higher! :) The guide down was merely a result of a ramp in ratable contracts which have the effect of lower current quarter, but steady longer term, revenue and increased upfront commissions paid on a % basis. The street is appropriately looking through that "miss"--good job really.

Hi Saleem,
QRVO made additional comments that the lower gross margin is not a pricing problem in the industry and merely a situation specific to QRVO currently. They also commented that the Q3 huge above-guide is not a symptom of pull-forward giving them upside potential for Q4 also. Finally, I *think* they just said after their initiatives take place in the next few quarters, they should be back above 50% gross margin (was slightly distracted).
I'm not sure any of this is helping the stock currently, but maybe it presents an opportunity tomorrow. It will be interesting to see what analysts say.

Hi Saleem,
Sorry, misquoting their quarters. Move everything I said up one quarter due to their fiscal year ending in March.
So, change to: "They also commented that the Q2 huge above-guide is not a symptom of pull-forward giving them upside potential for Q3 also".

Hi Stocktrader,
Good luck with SWKS & QRVO.
Thanks for your take of QRVO & DATA earning call.
YES...sometimes next day by close, gives a better picture.
