- If you are wondering whether Qorvo at around US$98.59 is offering fair value or an opportunity, it helps to compare how the stock is priced with what the business may be worth.
- The share price performance has been mixed, with returns of 0.3% over the last 7 days, 6.9% over the last 30 days, 14.3% year to date, 24.1% over 1 year, while returns over 3 and 5 years declined 3.9% and 43.4% respectively.
- Recent coverage has focused on how Qorvo fits into the broader semiconductor sector and what that means for investor sentiment toward the stock. This context helps explain why shorter term returns differ from the weaker 3 and 5 year performance.
- Qorvo currently has a valuation score of 3/6, which means it screens as undervalued on half of the key checks. The next sections will look at how different valuation methods line up on this, then finish with a framework that can help you interpret those signals more clearly.
Find out why Qorvo's 24.1% return over the last year is lagging behind its peers.
Approach 1: Qorvo Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) Analysis
A Discounted Cash Flow, or DCF, model projects a company’s future cash flows and then discounts them back to today’s dollars to estimate what the entire business could be worth right now.
For Qorvo, the model used is a 2 Stage Free Cash Flow to Equity approach. The latest twelve month free cash flow is about $678.8 million. Analysts provide explicit forecasts for several years, and Simply Wall St extends those with its own assumptions. This results in projected free cash flow of $811.5 million by 2031. Those projections are then discounted back to today using a required return, with each year’s cash flow adjusted. For example, the 2026 projection of $586.9 million is discounted to about $524.2 million.
Adding up all these discounted cash flows produces an estimated intrinsic value of about $91.24 per share, compared with the current share price around $98.59. On this view, Qorvo screens as about 8.1% overvalued, which is a relatively small gap.
Result: ABOUT RIGHT
Qorvo is fairly valued according to our Discounted Cash Flow (DCF), but this can change at a moment's notice. Track the value in your watchlist or portfolio and be alerted on when to act.
Approach 2: Qorvo Price vs Earnings
P/E is a common way to compare profitable companies because it links what you pay for each share to the earnings that support that price. In general, higher growth expectations and lower perceived risk can justify a higher “normal” P/E, while slower growth and higher risk usually point to a lower one.
Qorvo currently trades on a P/E of about 25.60x. That is below the broader semiconductor industry average P/E of about 70.74x and below the peer group average of about 31.70x. Simply Wall St also calculates a “Fair Ratio” for Qorvo of about 28.93x, which is the P/E it might typically trade on given factors such as its earnings profile, industry, profit margins, market size and risk characteristics.
This Fair Ratio can be more useful than a simple comparison with peers or the industry because it adjusts for Qorvo’s own growth outlook, risk level and business quality, rather than assuming one size fits all. With the current P/E of 25.60x sitting below the Fair Ratio of 28.93x, the stock currently screens as undervalued on this measure.

Upgrade Your Decision Making: Choose your Qorvo Narrative
Earlier it was mentioned that there is an even better way to understand valuation. Narratives are introduced here as a simple way for you to connect your view of Qorvo’s story with numbers by setting your own assumptions for future revenue, earnings, margins and Fair Value, then comparing that Fair Value with today’s price to assess whether the stock looks appealing or stretched.
On Simply Wall St’s Community page, Narratives are available as an easy tool used by many investors. You can see different Fair Values side by side, such as a cautious view that aligns with a Fair Value of about US$66.00 and a more optimistic view that aligns with about US$112.95. Each of these is grounded in specific forecasts for Qorvo’s revenue growth, profit margins, future P/E and discount rate.
Because Narratives are updated when new information such as earnings, news or guidance is added to the platform, your Qorvo view does not stay static. It adapts as the story and the supporting numbers change, helping you understand how your Fair Value compares with the latest share price before deciding what action, if any, may be appropriate for your own situation.
For Qorvo however we will make it really easy for you with previews of two leading Qorvo Narratives:
Start with the bullish case if you think the long term handset and AI story is more powerful than the current mixed sentiment.
Fair Value: US$112.95 per share
Implied discount to this Fair Value at the last close of US$98.59: about 12.7%.
Revenue growth assumption used in this narrative: 5.06% a year.
- Assumes Qorvo benefits from higher RF content at its largest customer, growing defense and aerospace exposure, and wider adoption of 5G Advanced, Wi Fi 7/8 and future 6G.
- Builds in expanding opportunities around IoT and edge AI, with ultra wideband and power management products helping broaden Qorvo's revenue base.
- Uses a Fair Value of US$112.95 based on higher future earnings, rising profit margins and a P/E of 24.0x on 2029 earnings, discounted at 11.47%.
Then contrast that with a cautious view that assumes handset concentration, competition and valuation risk weigh more heavily on future returns.
Fair Value: US$66.00 per share
Implied premium to this Fair Value at the last close of US$98.59: about 49.6%.
Revenue growth assumption used in this narrative: 0.79% a year.
- Assumes heavy dependence on a few large customers, potential in sourcing by smartphone makers and reduced access to some international markets limit Qorvo's long term revenue opportunity.
- Builds in higher ongoing R&D and regulatory costs, competitive pressure and possible semiconductor oversupply that could keep margins under pressure.
- Uses a Fair Value of US$66.00 based on fairly flat revenues, higher profit margins but a much lower future P/E of 12.0x on 2029 earnings, discounted at 11.95%.
The spread between these two Fair Values, from about US$66.00 to about US$112.95, shows how much your own view on handset demand, customer concentration and future P/E really matters for Qorvo.
