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

Qualcomm (QCOM) has recently made significant moves in the market, leading some experts to view it as a top pick with considerable AI potential, despite certain challenges such as losing Apple's business and reliance on the smartphone market. The company is seen as diversifying away from handsets into promising sectors like the Internet of Things (IoT) and automotive technologies, which are expected to foster double-digit growth. Analysts highlight the current valuation as attractive given its price-to-earnings ratio compared to peers and note that Qualcomm remains a key player in mobile connectivity, despite its historical ties to the slower-growing smartphone market. Analysts differ in their outlook, with some suggesting it’s time to exit due to a lack of growth in core areas, while others believe its expansions position it well for future opportunities.

DON'T BUY

Chip shortage not necessarily good for business (different types).
Company will perform when tech sector improves.
Not participating in recent tech rebound. 
Would stay away from business.

SELL ON STRENGTH

Owns, but doesn't like it. He made a mistake. He'll sell above $130.

BUY

So, you're playing this on the potential of the smartphone market is bottoming. He doesn't know when though it will at some point. China's reopening will revive the handset sector, which QCOM relies on. Shares are awfully cheap now.

BUY

Really likes that they diversified their revenue stream and are working through their inventory. Last quarter, their missed revenues, but beat EPS with inventory hitting $2 billion to revenues. IOT and silicone segments are performing. Is up 15% and trading at 12x PE. Still likes it.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Apr 19/22, Down 10%)

King in CPUs and GPUs. Leader in 5G, automotive, and internet of things. Come 2025, AAPL will be using its own chips. So they wisely built up other divisions. Revenue and net income down, but new horses in the race rose. 12-month price target of $145.

DON'T BUY

She avoids the semis--very cyclical. They're overcoming too much inventory that they still need to work through.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Mar 10/22, Down 22%)

Auto business grew 58% YOY in the latest quarter, and that's now 5% of total revenue and growing quickly. Everyone double-ordered inventory, so this has to abate. Then they'll get back to growth, which won't take long. Inexpensive growth stock. Reasonable multiple. He's being patient.

TOP PICK

Top chip manufacturing company for chips in cell phones.
Believes company will continue growing. 
Current share price presenting buying opportunity for investors.
Expecting mobile phone/chip business to expand.
Automotive industry will require more chips for cars.
Good for 5-10 years and long term shareholders. 

BUY
Was upgraded today. Semis were punished last year. They're starting to diversify their products. Trades at 12x earnings and up 17% YTD.
BUY
The street expects them to lose some iPhone orders in 2024, but Apple's technical issues would let QCOM keep some of those orders. QCOM dominates high-end cell phone, but the expected loss of Apple has kept the lid on this stock, unless that loss doesn't happen. A 2022 loser will come back this year.
BUY ON WEAKNESS
Chip manufacture for mobile phones. Supply chain issues impacting company. Expanding end market use away from mobile market. Seeing semi-conductor marker reduce. Not buying shares. Good for long term investors.
TOP PICK
Cheap, trading below 20x PE. The chip business will be weaker in 2023 with an inventory blockage. So, it will probably will move to 11-12x PE. A great runway because their chips go into a wide range of industries. Their autos business is doing very well. They've been a little depressed in their big market, China. (Analysts’ price target is $151.80)
TOP PICK
Lower consumer demand expected to persist in near term. Diversifying into autos (potentially $1-2K per vehicle) and industrials (connecting things that aren't connected yet), which will lessen the cyclicality of the business. Track record of successful product rollouts. Yield is 2.53%. (Analysts’ price target is $151.80)
BUY
Decent runway going forward. Lots of volatility. More geared to data centres and gaming. His position is around 2.75%. Likes this one, very much recommends it. (Analysts’ price target is $167.00)
COMMENT
NXP should do very well next, but he wonders about Qualcomm. Their price action goes one way, but the fundamentals go the other. This must be resolved (like Apple). Qualcomm is very undervalued.
