Analyst Forecast
Qualcomm remains highly profitable and generates substantial cash, but smartphone concentration and licensing exposure continue to limit visibility. Automotive and connected-device pipelines offer diversification, while on-device AI could support richer semiconductor content. Current forecasts, however, point to weaker revenue and earnings, and customer efforts to internalize modem technology remain a strategic threat. A recession would pressure handset upgrades and discretionary electronics. The dividend and buybacks offer support, but they do not fully offset end-market and customer concentration.
