The company forecast revenue between $8.1 billion and $8.9 billion. Analysts polled by Refinitiv expected revenue of $9.14 billion.

It expects adjusted earnings per share to be between $1.70 and $1.90, compared to analysts expectations of $2.16.

The company said its forecast includes the “continued impact of the macroeconomic headwinds, weaker global handset units and channel inventory drawdown”.

It also said a larger-than-normal sequential decline in its chip revenue forecast was mainly due “to the timing of purchases by a modem-only handset customer”.

The company forecast revenue for the segment to be between $6.9 billion and $7.5 billion.
