Watch These Funds For Skyworks Solutions, Apple's Rumored Chipmaker

Chipmaker Skyworks Solutions Inc SWKS dropped 3.64 percent in heavy volume last Friday, following its fourth-quarter report on Thursday.

Initially, the stock vaulted higher on better-than-expected top- and bottom-line results and a strong current-quarter view. However, it settled in for a loss on the session.

Nonetheless, analysts continue to expect a lot from the company, widely thought to supply Apple Inc. AAPL with handset chips. Other customers include General Motors Company, General Electric Company and Rockwell Collins, Inc.
