Reason
Citi believes Qualcomm (QCOM) may be evaluating Intel Foundry (INTC) for its data center application-specific integrated circuits business, which represents less than 1% of its sales. Citi found Qualcomm job postings with qualifications including Intel's embedded multi-die interconnect bridge packaging technology, the analyst tells investors in a research note. The firm also found Apple (AAPL) and Broadcom (AVGO) job postings that include references to Intel's packaging technology. Citi, which doubts the agreements would be material for Intel, points out the three potential contracts would be for packaging, which brings low pricing and margins. Citi keeps a Neutral rating on Qualcomm and Sell rating on Intel.

Reason
Piper Sandler analyst Harsh Kumar raised the firm's price target on Qualcomm to $200 from $175 and keeps an Overweight rating on the shares. The firm notes the company delivered a significant beat of roughly $500M in the September quarter and also guided up for the December quarter by a similar magnitude. Piper feels that Qualcomm is able to mitigate concerns around its largest customer, supported by stronger traction within the Android base, particularly through higher content to increase in AI in computing cores.
