Qualcomm Remains a Smartphone Industry Leader With Potential to Further Diversify

Brian Colello Sector Director

Business Strategy and Outlook

| Brian Colello |

We expect Qualcomm’s chip business (QCT) and licensing business (QTL) to continue to generate healthy cash flow and reinforce the company’s narrow moat rating, as Qualcomm should remain an industry leader in chipsets and IP for 5G and below. Apple’s decision to build its own baseband chips, or modems, to displace Qualcomm should be a medium- to long-term headwind, but not a death blow, especially as Qualcomm is poised to grow in automotive and Internet of Things (IoT) semis. In licensing, Qualcomm has been able to withstand a host of government inquiries and customer pushback in recent years, and we think QTL will maintain a hearty stream of high-margin royalty revenue over time.

More value-oriented stocks tend to represent financial services, utilities, and energy stocks. These are established companies that reliably pay dividends.
