“Cirrus Logic , a supplier of audio codec chips to Apple and other smartphone makers reported revenue of $259.4 million for the June quarter, a y/y decline of 8%,” Mark Hibben writes for Seeking Alpha.
“Despite this, investors sent the stock up 19% the following day,” Hibben writes. “Why the enthusiasm? It was all in the guidance for the September quarter, a crucial quarter for Apple iPhone suppliers.”
“In the shareholder letter that accompanied the earnings release on Wednesday, Cirrus acknowledged in effect that Apple still accounts for 68% of its revenue, while Samsung accounts for 12%. Cirrus refers to ‘OEMs 3-10’ for the rest of its customers that make up the remaining 20%,” Hibben writes. “Cirrus is guiding to $395 million in revenue for the September quarter at the midpoint of its range of $380-$410 million, a 29% y/y increase. This is despite the fact that the S7 is still in production and Cirrus is therefore still feeling the effect of dual sourcing. This is a sequential increase of 52%, implying a truly impressive recovery in iPhone sales.”

MacDailyNews Take: As we wrote just yesterday:
Even without a unique exterior design, there is much pent-up iPhone demand just waiting for the iPhone 7. We believe Apple’s next-gen iPhone series, due in less than two months, will be significantly more compelling than the widespread “this year’s iPhone will be boring” meme claims.
