Qualcomm is shifting from handset supplier to AI infrastructure platform, which should shrink its handset discount. At its June 24 investor day it targeted data center revenue rising from $0.3 billion in fiscal 2026 to over $15 billion by 2029, with the Dragonfly C1000 CPU and AI300 inference accelerator. Micron's results show insatiable AI memory demand that its efficient compute can serve. At about 21x forward earnings versus 30-50x for AI pure plays, a 12-month target of $325 is justified. … Show more

Qualcomm's multi-generation AWS collaboration on custom AI data center silicon and inference shows its data center customers are becoming clear. Qualcomm confirmed the AWS deal is baked into its $15 billion FY29 data center revenue target, which should remove doubt about hitting that number; investor relations confirmed this despite @bubbleboi's objection. Qualcomm remains an execution beneficiary, with its data center value moving toward the upside case. x.com  x.com  x.com 

Qualcomm stays a Hold, with the target cut to $186 on handset weakness and limited near-to-mid-term data-center visibility. Fiscal Q4 2026 revenue guidance of $9.7-10.5B fell short of buy-side chatter near $11B; Android faces elevated wafer inventories and Apple modem revenue is falling faster than expected. Data-center targets of $5B in FY27 and $15B+ in FY29 were reaffirmed and AI250 has four major US cloud customers, but high LPDDR5 prices hurt its competitiveness, and CPUs are years off. … Show more

Qualcomm is still priced as a legacy modem stock while it builds a serious AI data center business. At 16x forward earnings it trades far below Broadcom, AMD and Nvidia. Per FundaAI research, it could ship about 1 million custom AI ASICs to a Chinese cloud provider by end-2026 at around $4,000 each, roughly $4 billion from one customer, with about 3 million server CPUs from 2027 and two US cloud providers in the pipeline; those figures remain estimates. x.com 

Qualcomm is moving deeper into AI infrastructure alongside NVIDIA, Broadcom and Marvell through a partnership with Amazon Web Services. AWS will work with Qualcomm on custom AI inference chips and 1.6T optical connectivity, and Amazon got warrants for up to 25M Qualcomm shares that vest with up to $60B of purchases. CFO Akash Palkhiwala has very high confidence in about $5B of FY2027 data center revenue, with orders in hand, and targets $15B+ data center revenue and $18+ non-GAAP EPS by FY2029. … Show more

Qualcomm is weak in its own capabilities while facing longer phone replacement cycles and pricier memory. Its other growth narratives are a very long way off. x.com 

Qualcomm is becoming a fuller AI infrastructure player, and the market may re-rate it if its $5B fiscal 2027 data center revenue target is met. Most of that target comes from custom chips for one US and one Chinese hyperscaler, about $2B each at mid-30s gross margins. Its High Bandwidth Cache stacks memory on logic for about 6x HBM's bandwidth per watt, easing the inference memory wall. Alphawave's 800G DSPs already earn revenue, and a Meta custom CPU deal carries a minimum share guarantee. … Show more

Qualcomm is winning hyperscaler data-center chip business. It reportedly landed a $60 billion AI chip deal with Amazon, spanning multiple generations per Bloomberg, along with a $4 billion investment. Its CFO says it is finalizing a second chip manufacturing deal with another major hyperscaler. x.com  x.com 

Apple dropping Qualcomm in favor of its own chips is a warning sign for Qualcomm. When Apple dumped Intel's chips, it marked five years of pain for Intel. Around $150 would be the right level to step in. x.com 

Qualcomm looks undervalued among tech stocks given its opportunities in physical AI, CPUs and an emerging data-center market. x.com
