Why is QUALCOMM Up Today?

QUALCOMM Incorporated (NASDAQ: QCOM) stock movement today reflects mixed signals from recent earnings, strategic initiatives and analyst commentary.

  • Strong Q2 results & cash returns: Q2 FY2025 revenue rose 15% YoY to $10.8 billion, driven by 59% growth in automotive and 27% in IoT. Free cash flow reached $6.65 billion in H1, funding $1.7 billion in buybacks and $938 million in dividends.
  • AI & datacenter push: Qualcomm announced plans for custom data-center CPUs with NVIDIA NVLink compatibility, marking its re-entry into a market dominated by Intel and AMD. The company also advanced 5G and edge-AI projects in the UAE.
  • Valuation & bull case: Trading at a trailing P/E of ~15.6x and forward ~13x, bullish analysts highlight Qualcomm’s diversification into automotive and IoT, strong capital allocation and potential multiple expansion.
  • Analyst caution: MarketBeat warns the CPU re-entry “may not be enough,” noting a weak-hold consensus and downgrades pushing price targets toward the low-$150 range. Technicals remain range-bound near key moving averages and resistance around $175.
  • Competitive risks & momentum: New mobile-chip challengers (e.g., Xiaomi’s XRing) and skepticism over PC/industrial entries weigh on sentiment. After a 25% rally since April, some analysts say fading momentum could cap further gains.

Investors should weigh Qualcomm’s robust cash generation and shareholder returns against lingering doubts over its datacenter CPU strategy and technical resistance levels.
