Qualcomm's Market Performance: Qualcomm shares are down 1.92% at $166.22, despite an Overweight rating and a $225 price target from KeyBanc Capital Markets due to strong positioning in AI for smartphones and PCs, as well as growth in the auto sector.
Financial Results and Guidance: Qualcomm reported Q3 revenues of $9.4 billion, exceeding estimates, with EPS of $2.33. However, guidance for Q4 indicates potential challenges, including the impact of losing its license to sell to Huawei, projecting revenue between $9.5 billion and $10.3 billion.
