This summary was created by AI, based on 7 opinions in the last 12 months.

Qualcomm (QCOM-Q) has been experiencing significant fluctuations, with experts divided on its future prospects. While the company historically dominated the smartphone semiconductor market, recent shifts in partnership dynamics—especially with Apple—are concerning for some analysts. There is potential value in new markets like automotive and the Internet of Things, yet growth in its handset market has stagnated. The valuation appears attractive compared to peers, although some experts warn of vulnerabilities given its heavy reliance on the smartphone sector. As AI continues to drive market sentiment, some believe Qualcomm could be caught in a valuation trap reminiscent of the early 2000s dot-com bubble.

The king of CPUs. Their IP, chips and software are all related to 5G as they start to roll it out. Business units are geared towards 5G, another to intellectual property, another in design. He targets $214. (Analysts’ price target is $206.03)

QCOM vs. GOOG Likes both. QCOM has fallen, though fundamentals continue to be extremely strong. Reach is expanding with 5G and internet of things. Less reliance on AAPL. Good holding. GOOG is also a good holding. Don't believe that FAANG stocks are expensive. Looking at the fundamentals, GOOG trades at only a slight premium to the market, but is growing many times what the market and economy are.

It's a bellwhether like Apple. Semis are doing well and 5G demand is rising. Qualcomm is a depressed stock with a great balance sheet and are buying back over $10 billion of shares. This and Facebook and Google are value tech stocks that you should buy on dips. Investors will reward true earnings and growth during rising interest rates.

The PE should expand to 20x, which means $230 a share or 45% higher. They're growing and diversifying their earnings away from Apple and smartphones and into cars and the internet of things.

For whatever reason, this is a stock that pauses and can't make it to new highs. Yes, its PE should expand to a 20x, but how and when? There's a lot going on in 5G, so these companies can benefit, but he prefers Micron, AMD, Marvell and Nvidia.

TOP PICK

Qualcomm(QCOM)

Mar 22, 2022
Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O’Reilly We again reiterate this tech leader as a TOP PICK. It’s strategy in 5g growth is paying off as earnings again beat expectations. With an aggressive share buyback program, it is generating a high ROE and only trades at 18x earnings compared to peers at 34x. It has grown the dividend for 20 consecutive years and it is backed by a payout ratio under 40% of cash flow. We continue to recommend a stop-loss at $135, looking to achieve $205 -- upside potential of 26%. Yield 1.95% (Analysts’ price target is $205.17)

Inexpensive, high quality. Trades inexpensively in lower teens multiple. Lots of applications for its chips. Solid growth. Market gets worried about AAPL pulling the plug, but QCOM has been building businesses outside that relationship. If AAPL were to cut ties, less than a 20% hit. Yield is 1.79%.

Feb 08, 2022

(A Top Pick Feb 18/21, Up 24%) He couldn't understand why this was trading in the mid/low teens in PE. It's growing well within the semis revolution. It helps that they rely on Apple. The street is realizing that their other businesses are growing at a far faster pace. So, when the Apple deal expires in 2023, Apple will comprise under 20% of QCOM's business. QCOM is supplying EVs, 5G and the internet of things. Exciting. Despite rallying QCOM is trading around only 15x earnings.

(A Top Pick Jan 21/21, Up 11%) Reports tonight. Price target of $209. King of CPUs, competes with NVDA on GPUs. Outsource manufacturing. Making great hay on 5G. Recent acquisition will help them scale up to smartphones and PCs. Buy in thirds here at $175, 165, and 155. Stop of $145.
