Qualcomm Invests Further In Mobile AI With Chip Qualcomm (QCOM) rolled out a number of key AI announcements today, as the company seeks to cement itself as a major player in mobile chips. Those announcements include a new compute platform, called Snapdragon X Elite; a new central processing unit chip, called the Qualcomm Oryon CPU; and a new smartphone chip, named the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. Though Qualcomm makes chips, it doesn't produce the sought-after GPUs that have become standard for training AI models. That field is dominated by Nvidia (NVDA), though players like Intel (INTC) and AMD (AMD) are racing to catch up amid the GPU shortage. Qualcomm, throughout the AI boom, has sought to carve out a niche that's linked to mobile and about increasing efficiency. The Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, Qualcomm's mobile platform for Android smartphones, was designed to emphasize generative AI — for example, offering the ability to run large language models, like Meta's (META) Llama 2. The chip will begin appearing in major Android devices over the next few weeks, and will also bring enhanced gaming and audio features. The company's Snapdragon X Elite compute platform is designed to give Windows computers an AI boost. Devices with Snapdragon X Elite aren't set to launch until the middle of 2024 — but the platform will feature a new chip that Qualcomm is expected to emphasize moving forward, the Qualcomm Oryon CPU. According to Qualcomm, the Oryon CPU is faster than Arm-based (ARM) competitors, a group that includes Alphabet's Google (GOOG, GOOGL), Samsung, and TSMC. The chip purportedly matches the peak performances of both Apple's (AAPL) M2 chip and Intel's 13980Hx, with less power. The product is an implicit shot at AMD and a multilayered stab at Intel, both of which use Arm intellectual property in some of their chips. Despite the hype around semiconductors, Qualcomm shares have underperformed the S&P 500 this year. The company is wrestling with slowing smartphone sales and an increasingly competitive landscape. 2 QCOM -3.52% INTC -4.15% AMD -4.43% AAPL -1.06% Qualcomm unveils new PC and smartphone chips focused on AIScroll back up to restore default view.

"Near term, demand for handsets remains extremely depressed amid a severe channel inventory drawdown while orders from China Android manufacturers have yet to snap back," wrote CFRA analyst Angelo Zino, who rates the stock a Hold. "Although we like Qualcomm's potential to diversify over time, we are wary of its position given structural share loss across the Android ecosystem." Qualcomm's partnership with Apple is also vital to its near-term prospects — and fragile, as Apple has chipmaking ambitions of its own. In September, Qualcomm and Apple re-upped an iPhone deal that sent Qualcomm's shares surging. "The deal marks a second time that Apple has had to strike a multiyear contract to source thin modems from Qualcomm, in a contractual relationship that Apple sees as unfair but necessary," Argus Research director Jim Kelleher wrote in September. "For Qualcomm, the agreement locks up a key high-volume customer at a time when financial pressures and modest gains in smartphone function and efficiency are limiting demand for new phones."

($QCOM) Qualcomm: Hanging Cliffside...QCOMM chips will be highly implemented into the newest iPhone 15, they are the largest US chip company with exposure to china, and earnings/revenue are forecasted for continued growth into Q3 2024, so whats the problem? Since March of 2022, Qualcomm's weekly 50 simple moving average had turned from support, to resistance. When the 50SMA of QCOMM had become resistance, it had been retested 3 times with most recently this past July. Each time, we had seen continuing lower highs, and a final base low in late October 2022 creating a demand zone between $101.50 - $107. After the most recent rejection of the weekly 50SMA back in January 2023, our demand zone cemented itself as of May 2023. With the demand zone of $101.50 - $107 now having been tested twice as our weekly demand zone, there was an expectancy of yet another retest of the 50SMA... That time has just recently passed this past July. Now that the 50SMA had been rejected yet again, followed by current price sitting at the volume point of control (dotted white line), there looks to be an imminent retest back to our demand zone. In addition to these technical indicators, there are a few fundamental and economical challenges ahead. China is on the borderline of deflation, there is a massive global credit bubble, and the Biden administration is currently in an unofficial trade war with China on chips by limiting exports of chips to china constraining global sales. Not to mention the fact that NVDA is at a 40x price-sales ratio, Qualcomm may get caught in the crossfire of these looming factors.

Qualcomm $QCOM | Bullish Falling Wedge BreakoutNASDAQ:QCOM continues pushing to the upside since breaking out of a bullish falling wedge pattern (RSI divergence confirmation). The current bullish wave has developed within a flag structure setting higher highs and higher lows. Pay attention to how price reacts at the upper resistance of the flag. 1) If price manages to breakout above the upper resistance of the flag I expect it to continue to ~$132. 2) If, however, price cannot manage to break above the flag resistance we may see price test the ~$105-$110 area which will provide an alternative buying opportunity. I will update as price action develops further.
