This summary was created by AI, based on 12 opinions in the last 12 months.

Qualcomm (QCOM-Q) has had a mixed reception from analysts, reflecting its shifting business landscape and competitive challenges. Historically the largest smartphone semiconductor company, it's now facing difficulties with a decline in its smartphone market share, particularly losing business from Apple. However, there is potential in its diversification efforts into the automotive sector and the Internet of Things, where double-digit growth is anticipated. Additionally, there are insights suggesting that Qualcomm is currently undervalued relative to its peers, trading at lower multiples while still maintaining a significant presence in key markets like Android smartphones and automotive technology. The sentiment around AI also pervades the analysis, as Qualcomm positions itself to enable future AI developments despite the market's volatility.

May 22, 2019
He did own, but as the trial date with Apple approached, they decided to exit when they thought the risk became more to the downside. Now the FCC is after them for some of their business practices, so they are staying away. Too volatile for him.

Apr 22, 2019
It's an excellent long-term, 5G investment, but he suspects Apple's hand was forced to settle with QCOM last week, because the 5G chip Apple was developing with Intel failed to progress. It's a great settlement for QCOM, which has shot up with room to rise even further . Further, a US-China trade deal will benefit QCOM.

COMMENT

Qualcomm(QCOM)

Apr 08, 2019
They are locked in a patent war with Apple. They own the CDMA technology from the original generation of cell phones in the '90s. Their patents will do okay. They have been very aggressive in collecting patent revenue. Buy in the $50s and sell in the $60s. There is a solid revenue stream and no costs in patent revenues.

Owns a small position via an ETF, SOXX. It's one of the top three holdings in SOXX. He scaled back by buying SOXX and not QCOM directly, because there are legal issues with Apple. He wants to own it outright, though.

Apple or Qualcomm? Apple will win. Qualcomm got a small victory, but then Apple worked around it. Like the royalties lawsuit, you have to pick your battles.

She used to own it. They've had issues of reinforcing royalty payments in China, and now have a dispute with Apple. Too much uncertainty over how they protect their patents.

Qualcomm(QCOM)

He's bought and sold this within a range over the past five years. Likes this because 5G will be a huge technology spend, and Qualcomm is the technology licensee. It pays over a 4% dividend. They are suing Apple over technology and, if they win, will be huge for QCOM. Low-risk, good upside. (Analysts’ price target is $69.98)

(Past Top Pick, March 27, 2018, Up 34%) Got caught up in the US-China dispute. They are the goto player for 5G communication chips, and they sell old-school chips to Apple and some Chinese companies. He sold his shares in the $70's. This will go sideways as the trade war continunes.

Qualcomm(QCOM)

Aug 27, 2018

(Past Top Pick, Feb.15, 2018, Up 5%) When he recommended it, it was priced fairly. Then it dove. Problems with the Trump-China trade scared off an acquisition. They still don't get paid royalties from CDMA chips from Huawei and Apple. But they had a great Q2 report, and the stock bounced back nicely.

A leader in this space. Qualcomm bought NXP, but that's mired in the current US-China trade dispute. Meanwhile, Qualcomm came down. So he bought an option. Try buying an option going 2-3 months. Pays a yield of 4.3%.
