Recent news
most recent scored articles · the chip is the article’s score · click to openQualcomm beat both revenue and profit expectations in its fiscal fourth-quarter 2026 results, released Nov. 4, but its shares fell immediately afterward. The supplied text does not identify the catch the headline attributes to Qualcomm’s fastest-growing businesses.
Qualcomm's chief financial officer said the company will change its calendar and that December will no longer be its biggest quarter as Apple leaves. The article asks whether automotive and data-center businesses serving artificial intelligence can fill the gap before the next earnings report, but gives no financial figures.
Qualcomm beat fourth-quarter earnings estimates as automotive revenue surged 89%, offsetting weakness in its handset business. Expansion in data centers also supported the company’s growth outlook.
Qualcomm reported fourth-quarter 2026 revenue of $10.44 billion, above expectations, but disappointing profitability and guidance sent shares down more than 10% before regular trading. Handset revenue and margins fell sharply, while automotive and Internet of Things grew strongly and data-center revenue ramped up but reduced overall margins.
Qualcomm shares were trading lower Thursday after the company reported fourth-quarter financial results Wednesday after the market close and issued first-quarter earnings-per-share guidance below estimates, measured under standard U.S. accounting rules.
