In the days leading up to Apple Inc's (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/10/41583865/what-to-expect-from-apples-fq4-earnings">highly-anticipated earnings report</a>, a lesser-known stock sent a warning signal to investors regarding the iPhone maker. 
Qorvo Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QRVO#NASDAQ">QRVO</a>), which provides parts for smartphones, reported lower-than-expected as part of its earnings report, raising concerns about Apple's iPhone sales.
What Does Qorvo Do? Qorvo is a key supplier for Apple, providing parts for iPhones, iPads and Apple Watches. Apple buys wireless chips, antenna equipment and ultra-wideband technology from Qorvo. A significant portion of Qorvo's revenue comes from its partnership with Apple.
Qorvo's Report: While Qorvo beat Street estimates on both EPS and revenue, the supplier reported lower-than-expected guidance, which sent the stock tumbling. Qorvo's CFO, Grant Brown, said that he expects revenue and gross margin to be lower in FY25 compared to FY24.
"Looking forward, the flagship and premium tiers in the smartphone market are holding up well, however, content and ramp profiles vary by model, and we are experiencing unfavorable mix," Brown said on the earnings call. "We expect this to continue in the second half of fiscal 2025."

Due to this &#8220;unfavorable mix&#8221;and lower guidance, Qorvo's stock tumbled more than 20% Wednesday morning. Apple shares held up relatively well compared to Qorvo, taking a hit of less than 1%.
An analyst at Benchmark, Cody Acree, lowered his rating on Qorvo from Buy to Hold and removed the price target following the report, <a href="https://www.barrons.com/articles/qorvo-earnings-stock-price-a88b7b64">according</a> to Barron&#8217;s. Consumers are opting for less profitable entry-tier smartphones compared to more profitable premium and mid-tier phones, explaining Qorvo's weak guidance, the analyst reportedly said.<a href="https://www.barrons.com/articles/qorvo-earnings-stock-price-a88b7b64"> </a>

Benzinga's PreMarket Prep, a daily show broadcast to YouTube covering the most significant headlines moving the markets, covered Qorvo's report on Wednesday morning's show.
PreMarket Prep co-host and professional trader Dennis Dick highlighted weakness in other Apple suppliers, as well as Apple's resilience despite seemingly negative headlines.
&#8220;Apple shrugs it off once again," Dick said.
"This stock is the honey badger stock of all stocks. The news flow has been terrible on Apple, it's had a lot of bad news in the last little while. At least rumors that the iPhone wasn't selling, they're talking about the Vision Pro, that's gone really south, then you had the downgrade from KeyBanc last week, they shrugged that off too." Dick said Skyworks Solutions (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SWKS#NASDAQ">SWKS</a>), Broadcom Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AVGO#NASDAQ">AVGO</a>) and Qualcomm Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QCOM#NASDAQ">QCOM</a>) are other Apple suppliers showing weakness Wednesday morning following Qorvo's report. Bucking The Trend: Not all Apple suppliers appear to be in the dumps. Corning Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GLW#NYSE">GLW</a>), the main glass supplier for Apple's iPhones and iPads, reported stronger-than-expected earnings Tuesday morning, paired with strong guidance. Corning's positive report could be a potential explanation for Apple's resilience despite the disappointing numbers from Qorvo. Read Next:

Bulls Stampede On Wall Street: S&P 500 Smashes All-Time Highs, Dow Jones Marks Record Close, Nasdaq 100 Hits Mid-July Levels

Nokia Corporation (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/nok#NYSE">NOK</a>) is set to report its third-quarter 2024 results on Oct. 17, before the opening bell. In the last reported quarter, it reported adjusted earnings of 6 cents per share.
The company is expected to witness a revenue contraction year over year, owing to demand softness in several business segments. Intensifying competition, macroeconomic headwinds, and growing geopolitical unrest are major headwinds. However, efforts to bolster the position in the 5G ecosystem with a strong emphasis on innovation and portfolio expansion are positive.
<h2>Factors at Play</h2>
In the third quarter, Nokia secured a multi-year agreement for an undisclosed amount from AT&amp;T Inc. to help modernize the fiber infrastructure of the telecom carrier. Per the five-year deal, Nokia will deploy its Lightspan MF and Altiplano platforms to develop state-of-the-art networks to cater to the growing demand for more capacity and enhanced broadband services. Nokia has also entered into a three-year agreement with Vodafone Idea Limited to enhance and expand its 4G and 5G networks in India.
The company also inked a multi-year 5G RAN (Radio Access Network) contract with MEO, one of Portugal&#39;s leading mobile operators to upgrade its network infrastructure. These are likely to have supported Nokia&#39;s top line during the quarter.
During the quarter, Nokia inked a partnership agreement with Telekom Malaysia to enhance data center connectivity across Malaysia by deploying a cutting-edge Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing network. A Taiwan-based broadband operator, Homeplus, deployed Nokia&#39;s state-of-the-art PON fiber solution to strengthen network visibility and improve end-user experience.
A prominent Brazilian telecommunication company, TiM Brasil, has leveraged NOK&#39;s industry-leading 5G AirScale portfolio to expand its 5G Radio Access Network coverage across Brazil. These customer wins are expected to have a positive impact on the third-quarter results.
In the quarter under review, Nokia Bell Labs, the research wing of Nokia, inked a year-long, non-binding memorandum of understanding with e&amp; to collaborate on research &amp; development efforts on artificial intelligence-based use cases across various industrial sectors.
However, a slowdown in 5G investment in several regions, including India, intensifying competition is expected to have hindered Nokia&#39;s top-line growth. Growing geopolitical instability remains a major concern.
Our estimate for revenues from the Mobile Networks vertical is pegged at &euro;1.86 billion ($2.04 billion), suggesting a 13.6% year-over-year decline. For the Network Infrastructure segment, our estimate for revenues is pegged at &euro;1.87 billion ($2.05 billion), implying 21.9% year-over-year growth. Revenues from Cloud &amp; Network Services are estimated at &euro;789.3 million ($867.4 million).
For the September Quarter, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for the company&#39;s total revenues is pegged at $5.10 billion, indicating a decrease from $5.42 billion reported in the prior-year quarter. Adjusted earnings per share are pegged at 7 cents, suggesting an increase from the prior-year quarter&#39;s tally of 5 cents.
<h2>Earnings Whispers</h2>
Our proven model does not conclusively predict an earnings beat for Nokia this time around. The combination of a positive Earnings ESP and a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy), or 3 (Hold) increases the chances of an earnings beat. This is not the case here.
Earnings ESP: Earnings ESP, which represents the difference between the Most Accurate Estimate and the Zacks Consensus Estimate, is 0.00%, with both pegged at 7 cents.

<h2>Stocks to Consider</h2>
Here are some companies you may want to consider, as our model shows that these have the right combination of elements to post an earnings beat this season:
Corning Incorporated (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/glw#NYSE">GLW</a>) is set to release quarterly numbers on Oct. 29. It has an Earnings ESP of +1.16% and carries a Zacks Rank #3.
The Earnings ESP for T-Mobile US, Inc. (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/tmus#NASDAQ">TMUS</a>) is +0.70%, and it carries a Zacks Rank of 3. The company is scheduled to report quarterly numbers on Oct. 23.

Note: &euro;1 = $1.09893 (period average from July 1, 2024, to Sept. 30, 2024).
