QCOM

LarryTalbot

1. QCOM transition plan to scale from mobile to automotive, IoT and AI /LLM products going well. Strong B/S and dividend. 2. BCSF for dividend yield, reasonable and discounted NAV and first lien portfolio focus. Also, Bain affiliation and track record. 3. GOOGL for its rapid integration of AI / LLM to services; Cloud; YouTube; Other bets (Waymo and 3 for 1 VC funds: (DeepMind, X, GV); strong B/S. 4. CGBD for dividend yield, lower leverage and discounted NAV, strong B/S, recent price decline. 5. FDUS for dividend yield, high quality first lien focus, 60% focus on IT, business services, and component manufacturing portfolio. Moved out of equity investing the past 6 months due to geopolitical uncertainties and tariff concerns. Also, without a stable US administration the wild card factor is too significant to ignore, and that influences my investment decisions.

Not including funds…. CSCO - 1991 - thought that internet thing might work out and followed the Levi’s principal. (A lot of people went searching for gold but the company that made their clothes is around 100+ years later.) Held through the collapse and 20 plus years of stagnation. MSFT - 2010 - similar thought process. Unable to imagine a situation where their products wouldn’t be essential to business short of the world being in smoking ruins. NVDA - 2023 - they lucked into producing video chips that just happened to be really good at the processing needed for AI and I believed in the potential there. AMZN - 2022 - cloud business - selling everything else delivered to people’s door is gravy. QCOM - Mobile chips - everyone has one in their hand and will continue to for the foreseeable future.

MSFT 7% V and MA. I put these in the same category, for obvious reasons. 8% PLTR 17% VOO and VTI 18% of my holdings. This used to be 60% of my portfolio but everything else grew so much faster. I'll need to renew my efforts at my old DCA strategy until this is back in the 50 or 60% range. WMT 6% My portfolio is admittedly in need of rebalancing. For example, I've held QCOM and AMT for quite a long time and I should sell off those positions and increase my position in VOO or VTI. Similarly I've opened small speculative positions in a wide variety of various stocks. Some of these are stagnant or haven't grown yet, and some of them have grown really well, and this growth has altered my ideal balance. The growth in MSFT and PLTR really altered my portfolio allocations My personal ideal balance for my portfolio is 60% VTI/VOO. 20% aggressive growth in tech/finance. 20% defensive stocks/utilities/staples. Back to the old boring DCA strategy I suppose.

I’m bag holding QCOM

Ray_Getard_Phd

You keep trying to make QCOM happen, but it's not happening. You are streets behind. It's a trash company with little future and will be in a sideways but overall downward slide for years to come.

greenpride32

>This lack of momentum has been especially frustrating given Qualcomm’s healthy diversification across handsets, automotive, and the Internet of Things (IoT), not to mention its recent M&A activity. Here's your "problem" - none of this is growing like gangbusters. We're seeing high single digit to mid teens growth at best. AVGO has doubled their revenue over the past 3 years , while NVDA has more than doubled their revenue over 2 consecutive years. It doesn't mean QCOM is a bad company by any means, but they're not even in the same league as AVGO and NVDA in the current lifecycle. Share price erformance of these stocks the past few years reflects the actual performance of the companies.

I agree with you about AR being the future, and probably not the present.  How do you see those names enabling ar? I can see the role Nvidia and QCOM but I'm not familiar with PTC or LITE, what's their business involvement in the AR future?  I'm not really sure where to position for the coming changes. I've seen really impressive work with Sony wave-shaping meta surfaces, but they'd be competing somewhat with themselves there. I also think Apple could be in a good position, they're certainly looking ahead with their 'spatial computing' work with their headset.

skilliard7

> People who bought MSFT ORCL NVDA AAPL BKNG (then PCLN) AVGO (then BRCM) AMZN EQIX QCOM EBAY during that timeframe are multimillionaires. You cherry picked the most successful companies, which is super easy in hindsight. There were lots of promising looking companies that flopped.

RayRaymundito

Wearable AR will be huge, but can you really go all in on a software company for this? The new Snapchat AR glasses look no better than the Raybans. They boast new features and outlook, but it boils down to similar problems- will people wear these glasses ALL DAY? What about people without prescription needs? Now, I do agree that Snapchat is doing great in the social media space. Their AI is far superior to Meta or Instagram. They certainly have legs, and will continue to grow. Youngsters just love sending snapchats their PARENTS CANT SEE. And any person in here that believes Snapchat is dead is probably a parent that doesn’t supervise their kids enough, or not a parent themselves. I do agree Snapchat has a future, but I’m not all in AR through Snapchat. I’d rather invest higher AR enablers like NVIDIA, QCOM, Unity Software, ADBE, PTC (For industrial applications), LITE (facial recognition)

drewbaseball10

Feb 2024 - height of NVDA's parabolic move on AI narrative. I literally just searched for it's direct competitors in the fabless semiconductor space and looked at P/E ratios. Not much other research. Qualcomm looked undervalued so I tossed some options on it to go up from its spot of $148. 4 months later I was very lucky to be liquidating all my remaining positions at a 25 year intraday high of $227. Made a few thousand. QCOM been in the dumps ever since.

vecpisit

Wait until AMD and NVIDIA introduce thier own Arm cpu next year. (For Nvidia case , they have cooperate with mediatek already) so Apple silicon won't go easy for long too. PS. Nvidia likely to throw enough cash push thing around including MSFT to handle thier Windows for ARM for better in which apple end up in lot of competitors like old days anyway. (Other can't do or say most things because MSFT - QCOM arm exclusive deal which QCOM fk up in the big way.) In case of economic recession or depression things can be worse, Ofc they can sell thier product but thier high end product likely to get less sales than before.

Vegetable_Moose8114

Just HODL $QCOM. It became a long in my portfolio after I even was a sub contractor doing their office building construction in NC. They are a blue chip company in my account and will be there thick and thin. I'm borderline at my cost levels right now and bought some more just recently with the dip. Won't be looking for the door till it reaches new highs $240+. Stay strong 💪 and leave those puts out of the mix. It's part of why our total market is in the red. Short selling and non conviction buyers. I've been buying only American 🇺🇲 based companies lately, never have I felt so sure about this before either. But there needs to be some more corrections. Also long on $AMZN, $GOOGL, $NVDA, $F, MSFT, $AMAT, $TMO. Great if I get any more discounts coming up I'll just add to my stack and stay loaded. Keep me posted.

Vegetable_Moose8114

I have many long term investments with $QCOM. I know people that are engineers and work there. Profits are up and dividends on the table. There is no reason why this company should be considered less value and not be worth 5x what it's at now. The fact is market is manipulated. Just going to add to my longs. Held some for 5+ years.

CloudyHero

It looks like a chart of QCOM in the early 2000s.

itsjolu

You’re missing a bunch MRVL has huge potential, TSM, MU, QCOM, MCHP I like TSM AVGO AMD MRVL the best over all those ones you mentioned another good one is TXM

29InchWaistOrStarve

I can’t speak for other bears but the primary reason I think the market is grossly overvalued is because of Netflix and other mag 7 stocks. Why is Netflix trading at a multiple of 50+ when it’s generating 12-14% revenue growth this year (unless estimates fall) while a company like QCOM is expecting 10% revenue growth at a multiple of 15.

TheTemplateGuy25

Even though the stocks have been recovering during the past 2 months, Other than TSMC and NVDA most other semiconductor stocks are still down by atleast 30% from their 52 wee highs. TSMC : -14.5% NVDA : -12% AMD : -41% INTC : -47% ARM : -34% QCOM : -37% With Tariff uncertainty, not sure they are a good buy at the moment.

29InchWaistOrStarve

Nvidia guides 8 billion less than what they originally planned and the stock rallies 6%. QCOM lowers guidance by 100-200 million and it tanks 8% after ER. Market looks like it just wants any excuse to go to ATHs. Looks like we’re going to get there. SPX 6000 wall still holding tho.

Vegetable_Head_3556

Shorting AAPL going into next week. IMO this is just noise, red beginning of week then exit. Immediate Market Reaction: Apple Inc. (AAPL) shares dropped nearly 3% following the announcement. Analysts estimate that a 25% tariff could reduce Apple's earnings per share by over 4% in fiscal years 2026 and 2027. Investment Strategy: Short-Term Caution on Apple (AAPL): Given the potential impact of tariffs on Apple's profitability and supply chain, investors might consider a cautious approach in the short term. Monitor Semiconductor Suppliers: Companies like Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (TSM), Intel Corp. (INTC), and Qualcomm, Inc. (QCOM) are integral to Apple's supply chain. Disruptions in Apple's production could have ripple effects on these suppliers. Consider Semiconductor ETFs: For diversified exposure, the VanEck Semiconductor ETF (SMH) offers a broad investment in the semiconductor sector, which could be affected by shifts in manufacturing and trade policies.

I started buying AMD at 130, then all the way down to 80, and all the way up to 90. The lower the price, the more i bought. Sitting on a nice profit, but not selling yet. Did the same with ASML, AMAT, QCOM, NVO, GOOG, MSFT, AMZN, etc. Obviously, NVO is still in the red, but I'm not worry one bit. If you find a good, large company at discount, then not much to worry about in the long term. Sure, there will be some lost in the short or medium term, but overall you will be fine in the long term.

stockprimo

We are missing the big picture, SMCI, JNJ, META, QCOM

Sure-Drive-6613

MU, QCOM and NVDA should be taking a bigger hit from AMDs revenue loss in China market ?

ritholtz76

isn't 60% QCOM sales from China?

Nemarus_Investor

I worked on QCOM patents. They definitely had a ton lol. I swear every day another continuation was due.

CommanderLeona

Tbh wouldn't recommend holding all of them through earnings, EPS might be good but if guidance is slightly off it will tank just like QCOM last week (despite being at 52-week lows)

29InchWaistOrStarve

Market exhausted. Let it DUMP so I can buy some QCOM in 3 weeks 

boboverlord

QCOM is risky due to the decoupling from Apple in the next 3 years, 1/3 of the revenue (from Apple) every year. It's basically better whether QCOM will generate enough revenue as replacement and growth at the same time. Granted, now QCOM is VERY cheap so the margin of safety is high, but that's also because its growth slowdown might already has been priced in. 

albearcub

What's your case for QCOM not considering tatiffs?

mayorolivia

I got downvoted all of last year when explaining QCOM is a bottom of barrel chip stock during the AI revolution. SMH is better. The top 3 options are Nvda, AVGO, TSM. There is no reason to own Qcom.

BuzLightbeerOfBarCmd

I'll hold off on buying QCOM then.

Leroy--Brown

Broadcom (AVGO) is their biggest competitor. Ignoring AI because as it's such a nascent technology, neither QCOM or AVGO has emerged as having the stronger growth position. Ignoring AI, QCOM is more attractive to me. They recently under forecast their future earnings for next year. I believe this was strategic. Their forecast having a depressed future outlook doesn't align with the rest of the semiconductor, phone sales, iot, and consumer tech forecasts. Their tech is married to those segments. Also, love it or hate it, QCOMs business model involves 2 sources of revenue. 1) selling their chips and 2) licensing and collecting revenue from those same chips. When other companies use their chips designs and parents, they collect revenue. QCOM owns significantly more parents than AVGO and AAPL, direct competitors of theirs. In fact Samsung is one of the only competitors with more parents than QCOM. However that's not entirely true, Samsung and QCOM do have some market overlap, they don't directly compete with each other, QCOM is a direct competitors to AVGO, just as Samsung is a direct competitors to AAPL. Really what I'm saying is that due to their licensing and revenue model, QCOM has a healthy revenue stream.

ForestyGreen7

QCOM is solid

Relative-Credit4506

purely on data and discounting any sqeezing these are my estimates for such events happening within the year... for a QCOM evaluation: we will need about 4x current revenue and remove all debt worry along with decent tax credits for a AVGO evalution: we will need about a 10x revenue some very good deals with more companies needing the product possibly some vertical integration with possibly STM, and for such a merger or buyout to not get the stock shutdown for a TSMC evaluation: we will need gyna to invade taiwan and trump to put a complete embargo on gyna along with Nvidia enlisting WOLF to begin producing its semiconductors will money for infrastructure paid up front and for this entire ordeal to not cause a market correction. all that being said, honestly I feel the stock is destined for ~$20 evaluation on current numbers and data. The fact that its priced at 1/5 of that makes it a buy, and the fact that all of the up and coming industries rely on the SiC chips makes this a hold for me at least. Given this I feel that the best profit taking comes through options trading rather than trading the underlying stock.

CommanderLeona

my QCOM puts last week beg to differ...

mchem

A $500 share price (assuming no split) would be a 77B market cap. What makes you think this stock could be worth half of Qualcomm? If you take a simple look at revenue QCOM had 50x revenue of WOLF. Using that benchmark if the two were equally valued based off of revenue then we’re only looking at a 4x. I hope I’m wrong because it seems a lot of people are pouring money in this on hope but the valuations I’m seeing thrown around don’t seem to be based on anything rational.

CommanderLeona

0neEyedMonster

QCOM made AAPL obviois, sitting at -9% all day (Apple is basically their biggest customer). 

29InchWaistOrStarve

Solid bet on the weak aapl forecast. QCOM guided a bit lighter than what Wall Street was expecting

29InchWaistOrStarve

MCD worst quarter in 4 years, QCOM lowers guidance (large portion of its business in through AAPL), AAPL loses almost 8% market share in smart phone sales from Q4 2024 to Q1 2025 to Huawei, and they are forced to move most of their manufacturing out of China all in one Quarter. There is no way AAPL posts a massive beat right 

timmyd79

Msft is a powerhouse mag7 stock that is well insulated from tariffs and is boosting market hopes that AI boom can go unscathed. This bull thesis is not half bad. That being said look at QCOM for a stock that *is* exposed to tariffs. And look at Apple and Amazon soon as well as canary’s in the coal mine.

ForestFyre

QCOM ded

QCOM puts

29InchWaistOrStarve

Chip stocks like QCOM and MU will bottom 3 months before the rest of the market does. Numbers like that cause that thing to take 9% while TSLA is still up over 20% off its last report. QCOM barely slashes guidance and is guiding to generate one billion more in q3 compared to last year.

29InchWaistOrStarve

I made a shitpost in comparison to a company like QCOM. The fact this stock trades at a valuation far higher is void of all logic. QCOM generates over 10x more a quarter, going to have revenue growth above 10% this and has net margins that are 12-15% higher than PLTR 😂😂

CommanderLeona

Just need QCOM to drop a lilll bit more for my 141p's

HeiPando

QCOM -5%

Stocks like QCOM and GOOGL will never be cool or have the retard strength of TSLA and PLTR. It's just how it is

RagerSupreme2

QCOM calls at open 14-21 dte . Thank me later

idontknow1967

QCOM this pump isn’t for you! Back to hell!! 

Cruezin

MSFT, META, QCOM MSFT did most of the heavy lifting. The call was at 2:30 EST. Beat EPS by 10 cents. Run up after the call, dip at the end, and another big move after hours. Also likely contributing factors: underwater shorts (including 0dte puts) unwinding before close, and to stay gamma/delta neutral MM had to buy. The gap down at open and move down in the first 20 minutes or so ended up being just a huge bear trap driven by the GDP print (plus some other news related things). If you go back and look at the 0dte call/put ratios, the way GEX/DEX moved, SVP, and some other things you'll see it- hindsight is 20/20. Once IB printed it was pretty clear it was gonna be a green day. The last few minutes were a bit of a surprise in how much momentum it had but given what MSFT did not totally out of thin air. Last hour but especially the last 15-20 minutes is always tricky, same as the first hour, today was no exception.

29InchWaistOrStarve

Before MSFT earnings aapl rallied far harder than MSFT did off the lows. After QCOM released guidance a bit softer than Wall Street expected the stock tanked 6%. QCOM generates 27% of its business from AAPL. MSFT is more recession-proof than AAPL imo. Don’t be surprised if AAPL falls 5-6% tomorrow it’s a contrarian play and could signal the top of this bear market rally

29InchWaistOrStarve

QCOM is experiencing double digit growth from last year, pays a dividend of 2.5%, has 3x the net profit margins that PLTR does and earns more in one quarter than what PLTR is projected to earn in 2 years. Which company do u think has the higher valuation 🤡

arbitraryBlue

I can't believe my QCOM puts are actually gonna print lol

ThisKarmaLimitSucks

If you're still playing QCOM, you deserve to lose money. They haven't come out with a new product in forever, it's just 3rd party sales to the same old mobile players who are all working to vertically integrate.

29InchWaistOrStarve

Market going to indiscriminately kill chips. QCOM beat top and bottom while only having a slight guidance miss and the stock is getting butchered ah. Googl and TSLA didn’t even guide and didn’t get this kind of treatment. QCOM might bottom around 110-120 when it’s all said and done assuming we sell off next month. That might be a great time to buy long-term

cbusoh66

QCOM spanked. NVDA spanked. TSM spanked. SMCI blasted. The AI and semis trades are officially dead. Of all the Mags, META seems to be the only one clicking on all cylinders.
