Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached its target in 74 days.
The thesis — published August 14, 2025
Qualcomm's stock is acting well: buying interest is strong and the short-term price trend is pointing up. Bank of America kept a Buy rating with a $200 target. A widely used momentum score shows a perfect reading, which can attract more buyers. In Q2, sales rose 10% compared to last year, adding support. With the market in a risk-friendly mood, dips near recent typical prices may offer chances before a possible revisit of recent highs.
