Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached its target in 53 days.
The thesis — published September 4, 2025
Qualcomm's share price looks beaten down, yet buying interest is picking up. A new AI expert joining the board and a healthy outlook for radio chips back the plan to run more AI directly on devices. Because the recent average price is drifting, it makes sense to build a position in steps. As phone and radio parts cycles improve and premium features roll out, a rebound over the next three months looks realistic.
Primary drivers
- Phones can use more Qualcomm parts as on-device AI and radio chips increase
- Stock looks beaten down, and buying interest is starting to improve
- New board member with AI expertise suggests stronger AI direction ahead
- Easier economic conditions could help phone sales recover this year and next
