QCOM is still in a strong uptrendNotes from web browsing: "Assessing Qualcomm’s outsized gains, J.P. Morgan analyst believes “Qualcomm shares have reacted positively to the company successfully leveraging the 5G smartphone opportunity.” However, taking this into consideration, Chatterjee wonders how much upside is left from the 5G exposure. Luckily for Qualcomm, the company has other significant “revenue drivers.” Chatterjee estimates that the “combination of smartphone baseband as well as adjacent market opportunities will drive material upside for QCT revenues relative to consensus.” This should also result in roughly $1.4 billion more revenue than the analyst’s previous estimate for FY22. These “adjacent markets” are for RFFE (rf front end) in smartphones, automotive, and IoT (internet of things). While Chatterjee forecasts a 26% CAGR (compound annual growth rate) for 5G based sales between FY2019 and FY2022, RFFE smartphone is anticipated to exhibit a 40% CAGR, with Automotive at 25%, and an additional 8% for IoT. These figures are based on the assumption that Qualcomm takes a big chunk of revenue share from each SAM (service addressable market).
