Several public sources
•Shares jump 15% despite revenue and EPS guidance missing estimates
•CEO calls smartphone market bottom and confirms data centre chip entry
The fact
Qualcomm shares rose 15% in extended trading after forecasting Q3 revenue of $9.2–$10 billion versus $10.27 billion expected, and adjusted EPS of $2.10–$2.30 versus $2.45 estimates. CEO Cristiano Amon said smartphone demand will rebound after fiscal Q3, stating the market has reached a bottom. Qualcomm also confirmed plans to ship data centre chips, including CPUs, inference accelerators and ASICs.
The Assessment
The share rise signals investors are prioritising forward demand over current earnings weakness. The guidance miss confirms ongoing smartphone demand pressure, but Amon's bottom call provides a near-term recovery signal. Data centre chip plans add a future demand source linked to cloud providers expanding inference capacity.
What to Watch
Watch whether smartphone recovery materialises in device shipments and whether Qualcomm begins data centre chip deliveries as planned this year.
