The thesis — published August 10, 2025
Qualcomm looks ready for a bounce after a sharp slide. The company just reported sales up 10% and profit per share up 19%. A big tech fund added about $253M, suggesting more buyers than usual. If the price climbs back above its recent average, a 0-3 month push toward earlier price levels is possible. Investor mood is very cautious, which can set up rebounds. Main watch-outs: phone demand and China exposure.

- A large tech fund bought about $253M, pointing to strong interest from investors.
