Investment Thesis — Qorvo, Inc.
The market underestimates Qorvo's leverage to the next smartphone upgrade cycle and the breadth of its RF content gains, pricing it as if handset demand is permanently stagnant. Qorvo's forward P/E ignores the margin expansion and ASP uplift potential as OEMs shift to more complex 5G architectures.
