On July 13, QUALCOMM declined 3.04% overnight, trading at $183.22/share, with turnover of $6.4085 million.
On the news front, the semiconductor sector came under broad selling pressure, with Micron Technology falling 4.22%, Intel down 2.67%, Broadcom declining 1.74%, and NVIDIA losing 1.41%, dragging QUALCOMM lower in sympathy. Citi previously placed QUALCOMM on its 30-day downside catalyst watch list, citing weak smartphone sales growth as a key risk factor, with this bearish outlook continuing to suppress market sentiment.
While recent positives including Arete's significant target price increase to $314 and Qualcomm Ventures' strategic investment in ECARX had previously supported the stock, fundamental concerns over smartphone business headwinds remain a near-term overhang. Goldman Sachs recently raised its target to $180, while the consensus mean target stands at $224.43. The company's next earnings report is scheduled for July 29, with expected EPS of $1.53.
