Forward Guidance
Qorvo's guidance suggests revenue expectations of approximately $850 million, with non-GAAP gross margins forecasted between 43% and 44% for the upcoming quarter. The anticipated decline in Android 5G revenue is expected to continue driving strategic realignments aimed at enhancing profitability in the more lucrative automotive and enterprise markets.
