Bull case

  • 2Catalyst
  • @StockSavvyShay: $QCOM just won a jury verdict in its licensing dispute with $ARM with a 5-year royalty clause potentially worth ~$1.5B still awaiting judge’s decision. Qualcomm is one of Arm’s biggest customers so the outcome could shape future licensing agreements as Arm expands beyond chip designs into selling its own silicon.
  • @ripster47: @ripster47 reports Qualcomm $QCOM won a jury verdict against Arm $ARM; a verdict against Arm in the ongoing trial could cost Arm up to $2.2 billion in lost royalty payments.
  • @michaelsikand: @michaelsikand highlights futuristic tailwinds for $QCOM including on-device 100B parameter models, wearables, robotics and data center that the market is not pricing in. $AMZN in at $160 creates a defensible floor. Calls it an asymmetrical bet.

Bullish First call
Fundamentals · Long term · $QCOM has been a controversial stock this year. Memory shortages cloud the near term, but data center CPUs and robotics could reshape its growth story. Is the market giving that shift enough credit? My partner @michealsikand sat down with CFO Akash Palkhiwala. Worth a watch.

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that plummeting consumer smartphone sales is bad for Qualcomm.
