    For investors looking for a cybersecurity stock, I think a bigger security company like Palo Alto Networks or Check Point Software Technologies (NASDAQ:CHKP) would be a better option. At this juncture, I think FireEye’s high expenditures and sluggish revenue growth outweigh the potential benefits of buying the stock.

    Oppenheimer’s Rick Schafer and team argue that Skyworks’ “growth [is] back on track.” They explain:

    We expect Skyworks to deliver above-market growth driven by 1) continued smartphone content gains; 2) China share gains through strengthening baseband partnerships and demand for integrated (vs. discrete) RF solutions; 3) seasonal uptick at Samsung; and 4) continued double-digit RF complexity increases. With its “one-stop-shop” systems-level approach, we seeSkyworks uniquely positioned to benefit from rising RF content. We reiterate Outperform and raise PT to $105 from $100.

Digit, a popular app that automates savings for its users, will soon begin charging a monthly fee in what will amount to a major test of its Millennial fan base.

The app, which monitors the activity in your bank account and diverts small amounts into savings, has decided to start charging $2.99 a month. There will be a 100-day free trial that will give users a chance to decide if the app is worth paying for or not. The clock starts ticking for existing users on April 11.

“This is the year that Digit is growing up,” said CEO Ethan Bloch in a phone interview. “We’re going to continue to prove we can do more for the customer and continue to prove that we can build a long-term sustainable business.”
