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.

BUY
Trades at a low PE and has a burgeoning auto business to go with its cell phone franchise. Shares have been beaten up.

Owns shares in the company and believes is a good company for the long term. Has strong business model. Trading at a good valuation after recent market selloff. Will continue to hold shares. Expecting cash flows to rise.
HOLD
Key part of the whole tech arena, especially wireless side. Leader in 5G chip design. Recent acquisition accentuates its business lines plus the automotive area. (Analysts’ price target is $182.50)
BUY ON WEAKNESS

Likes the business but does not own it at the moment. Expecting an over supply of semiconductors. Company is very well positioned going forward. Long term, company is a good investment. Current share price is attractive. Potential for 5G is lots of benefits for the company. Waiting for slightly lower share price before buying.

BUY
Recently buying shares and likes recent latest financial results. Believes recent share prices have presented good buying opportunity. Is a good name that is a strong long term investment. Will continue buying shares.
BUY
They execute well with their Snap-dragon chip, 5G and the internet of things. PE isn't high. Good runway ahead.
BUY
Top investing idea. John: Backlog. 12x earnings. Moving big into internet of things. Will benefit from a rotation back into growth. Buy and tuck away.
BUY
He owns Qualcomm and NXP--great valuations. He expects the economic cycle to be very long. There is a wave of factory/mine/construction and building happening in the US and around the world, which which will feed demand for semis.
BUY
Nice long runway. Chips are the engine of digitization. Leadership in 5G. Recent acquisition gives them stronger lines into smartphones, Windows PC, and automotives. Likes it. (Analysts’ price target is $197.50)
DON'T BUY
Its focus is the cell phone industry. Apple is moving to creating its own chips. He prefers to invest directly in the semi-conductor business, especially Nvidia where the market comes to them. The GPU processor is good for AI applications.
BUY
Is down 38% from its January highs. Semis are oversold, because the street fears a recession, China's lockowns and mobile phone sales. Their last two quarters were sensational. Qualcomm doesn't get enough credit for their exposure in cars or the internet of things. Sells for only 12x PE and pays a 2.5% dividend yield.
TOP PICK
Well positioned in 5G network rollout. Strong position in IOT business. Strong financials/balance sheet and has had quality earnings growth.
BUY
It's attractive trading at a forward PE of 10x. They moved past a lot of their litigation of the past several years. Also, they have diversified away from the handset business. The semis have been beaten up already.
STRONG BUY
They just won a big contract with VW for electrifying those cars. They already have a deal with GM. It sells at 11x earnings. Great CEO and he expects a good quarter. He targets $170.
