Movement Alert|Qualcomm Rises 3.62% in Regular Trading, Continuing Post-Earnings Rally on Record Auto Revenue and 162% Net Profit Growth

Market Focus05-08

On May 8, Qualcomm rose 3.62% in regular trading, trading at $213.81/share with trading volume of $711 million, extending its multi-day rally following the release of its fiscal Q2 2026 earnings report.

The continued upward momentum is driven by Qualcomm's fiscal second-quarter results released earlier this month. The company reported revenue of $10.599 billion, with net profit surging 162% year-over-year. Notably, the automotive chip business posted record quarterly revenue of $1.326 billion, up 38% YoY, with annualized run-rate exceeding $5 billion. Management projected annualized auto revenue will surpass $6 billion by fiscal year-end. The technology licensing segment also delivered 5% revenue growth with a 72% pre-tax margin, providing stability amid mobile headwinds.

While handset revenue faced pressure due to Apple's increasing adoption of in-house modem chips, investors appear to be rewarding Qualcomm's diversification strategy into automotive and IoT segments as credible second-growth curves offsetting mobile cyclicality.
