This summary was created by AI, based on 21 opinions in the last 12 months.

Qualcomm (QCOM) has a strong position in the semiconductor market, particularly with its advancements in electric vehicles (EVs) and artificial intelligence (AI) applications. Analysts highlight its attractive price-to-earnings (PE) ratio, suggesting it trades at a discount compared to peers in the semiconductor sector. The resolution of the ARM lawsuit has also been seen as a positive catalyst for the company's growth prospects. Despite concerns regarding its relationship with Apple, which represents a significant portion of its business, many believe Qualcomm will maintain its role in providing chips for Apple products. Overall, experts view Qualcomm as a solid investment choice with long-term potential driven by its innovative chip technologies and growing market demand in various sectors, including automotive and IoT.

TOP PICK

It is losing Apple's business but there have been contentious issues with them over the years and there are lots of other great things going on. It has a big business with the Android smart phone, which is much bigger than Apple was. Also it has built out a lot of business in the automotive sector and Meta Ray-Ban glasses. It is getting into data centres with chips for laptops that can help batteries last longer. AI will need better hardware and Qualcomm can enable that. Trades at 12X earnings which is at a big discount to the market.          Buy 24  Hold 20 Sell 1

(Analysts’ price target is $177.88)
WATCH

Key enabler of all kinds of mobile connectivity, which still drives 75% of revenue. Fundamentals rank 9/10. Upside of about 11%. June quarter was solid with 10% revenue growth. Potential opportunity if margins hold up. Apple's shift to its own chips will be gradual.

SELL

Laggard in the group, and no sign that's changing. In fact, making an RSI new low today versus the market. When you're in a bull market, you want to own stocks that are participating. Unable to make a higher high since June 2024.

WAIT

Plays nicely into Edge AI. Out of favour, surprising. Still a major supplier into the smartphone market. Follows it, but is waiting for a catalyst.

BUY

Trades at 12.5x PE, trades at a 41% discount to semi sector, and they've done a good job moving into EVs.

BUY

He bought more. 14x forward PE and pays a 2.3% dividend yield. Good value. The ARM lawsuit was an overhang, but now resolved in QCOM's favour. This and the semis saw momentum in the first half of 2024. Business fundamentals remain intact; only QCOM can serve certain AI applications. Likes it for the long run.

WATCH

One of the major chip maker names to consider for your portfolio. Adds value to the supply chain.

BUY

It reports Wednesday. Good risk/reward with shares rallying after an earnings beat but not declining much after a miss. They may buy Intel, which is rallying these days.

BUY

Has a low PE compared to fellow chipmakers. They recently suffered from over-inventory, but have mostly worked through this. What's interesting in QCOM is their chips used in cars and the internet of things, so they have good growth potential.

COMMENT

Makes sense for QCOM to be interested in INTC, as it's a path to being more vertically integrated. Could create more synergies than other players. But you can't buy a stock hoping for a takeout; it may not occur.

DON'T BUY

He talked about the bid for Intel. Intel doesn't have any AI of any significance, is a low growth business, and missed the mobile window. It should be dilutive to earnings from a growth perspective

TOP PICK

He likes them without them buying Intel. It is one of the cheapest players in the chip space from a multiples perspective. For example Apple's P/E is near 40 but Qualcomm's is 25. They are working on new semi-conductor technology. He thinks it will re-visit its highs relatively soon, and considers it more of a trade than an investment.          Buy 29  Hold 14  Sell 1

(Analysts’ price target is $215.96)
RISKY

A play in the semiconductor space, if you really want to take some risk.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Jul 20/23, Up 46%)

He sold some when it got above $200, then bought back below $150. It's 2% of his portfolio; when it gets to 2.5%, he brings it back to 2%. If it goes below 2%, he brings it back up. Likes it long term. 

The negative is repeated fights with AAPL; if the relationship ends, looking at $20 downside. Sexy side is AI on a chip; if that comes through, probably $70-80 upside.

Unspecified

It has been the beneficiary of the AI boom and he is not active in that space which is cyclical with high multiples. Also the big techs ate starting to produce their own chips.
