Aug 7 (Reuters) - Apple supplier Skyworks Solutions (SWKS.O) on Monday forecast fourth-quarter profit below Wall Street estimates as demand for wireless connected devices from customers outside the artificial intelligence (AI) industry remains gloomy.
Apple (AAPL.O) - Skyworks' largest customer - last week predicted its sales would fall for a fourth straight quarter, dragged down by weak demand for its flagship device.
Chipmaker Skyworks said it expects fourth-quarter adjusted earnings of $2.10 per share, slightly below market estimates of $2.11 per share, according to Refinitiv data.
It anticipates fourth-quarter revenue between $1.19 billion and $1.24 billion, the mid-point of which was in-line with analysts' average estimates of $1.22 billion.
Excluding items, Skyworks posted profit of $1.73 per share in the third quarter ended June 30, above estimates of $1.70, according to Refinitiv data.
