Qualcomm quarterly forecast underwhelms, but signs of market recovery lift shares

  • On Wednesday, Qualcomm reported second-quarter revenue of $10.6 billion with adjusted earnings of $2.65 per share, meeting expectations while posting record automotive growth.
  • Handset revenue fell 13% as smartphone makers, particularly in China, reduced build plans due to memory supply shortages, though CEO Amon believes the company is now "calling the bottom."
  • Automotive revenue reached a record $1.3 billion, up 38%, while the company prepares to ship custom data center silicon to a leading hyperscaler in December, marking strategic diversification.
  • "We are in a period of profound industry transformation," Amon said, noting that AI agents are reshaping the company's roadmap across platforms including 6G initiatives and agentic smartphone devices.
  • For the third quarter, Qualcomm forecasts revenue of $9.2 billion to $10 billion, with management planning to detail growth initiatives at an Investor Day on June 24.
