Nov 4 close
$173.19+8.76 (+5.3%)
Gekko Brief
AI summaryNov 4 closeQualcomm reported fiscal fourth quarter results on 4 November, delivering a double beat on revenue and adjusted earnings against Street estimates, with automotive and IoT segments showing notable growth. Automotive revenue surged, nearly doubling, while handset chip sales dropped 26%, pressured by Apple's exit from its business and elevated memory costs weighing on smartphone demand. The company also pointed to coming data center ramp plans and announced collaborations with Amazon on AI data centers and Starlink on mobile service, alongside renewed licensing agreements. Despite the earnings beat, shares fell 8% following the report, with slightly weaker profit guidance cited as the trigger.
QCOM closed at $173.19, down between its 50-day average of $178.23 and above its 200-day average of $169.65, reflecting a mixed trend picture. The stock sits in the Accumulation zone on the GekkoIndex, with a reading of 61.5. Price is running 4.7% above Gekko Fair Value of $165.37, a gap of less than 5%.
No confirmed date is set for the next earnings report. Over the last 90 days, Congress recorded 3 buys and 0 sells, while the last 30 days showed 2 unusual options signals, with put premium of $8,451,330 outweighing call premium of $2,879,266. Seasonally, the next 20 trading days have averaged a 7.4% return over 5 years, rising in 4 of them. Analyst consensus across 10 firms stands at 3 buy, 5 hold, and 2 sell ratings, with a consensus target of $195.97.

About QUALCOMM
QUALCOMM builds the technical foundations that make wireless communication possible, turning that work into chips, software and patented know-how used throughout the industry. The company is widely recognized for the processors and system software that drive voice and data connectivity, networking, application handling, multimedia and location features in countless devices, as well as for the patents behind major mobile standards.
Its activities fall into three areas. One unit designs integrated circuits and accompanying software drawing on 3G, 4G, 5G and other wireless advances. Another collects fees for licensing a large body of patents tied to standards including CDMA2000, WCDMA, LTE and OFDMA-based 5G, which device makers need to manufacture and sell compliant products. A third group makes investments in younger companies working in fields like 5G, artificial intelligence, automotive systems, consumer devices, business software, cloud services and connected devices, with the aim of helping new offerings reach both current and future communication markets. Separately, QUALCOMM offers engineering and related products to U.S. government bodies and their contractors.
The company traces back to 1985 and operates out of San Diego, California. Its stock trades on the NASDAQ under the ticker QCOM.
