QUALCOMM Incorporated (NASDAQ:QCOM) has demonstrated strong institutional ownership throughout the years, with 78% of its shares held by large financial institutions. This figure denotes investor confidence in QUALCOMM's long-term market potential. The company continues to garner interest through strategic expansion efforts, like moving into AI-powered PCs, despite recent stock market declines. Expected to ship an impressive 44 million units by 2024, these efforts are coupled with the exploration of an Intel chip design acquisition, aiming to boost AI portfolio amid lower-than-expected revenue forecast.
On the flipside, there are apprehensions concerning the potential Intel acquisition, due to high costs, regulatory hurdles, and dependency on China. Notably,
third quarter earnings exceeded expectations due to partnerships such as that with Honeywell for an AI-Enabled Multi-Modal Intelligent Agent.
Despite occasional stock dips,
Qualcomm remains a highly sought-after stock according to analysts, even recognized as a magic formula stock. Plus, interest from heavyweights like Czech National Bank and BlackRock, aligns with the idea, making Qualcomm a prime focus in the AI and semiconductor sectors. However, insiders selling US$3.2m of shares could indicate a certain level of hesitancy. In any case, the underlying fundamentals of the company seemed to have remained solid.
