$QCOM might be one of the more interesting βAI valueβ setups in semis.
Qualcomm did $44.3B FY25 revenue and trades around a $212B market cap β roughly 4.8x sales.
Compare that to:
$AMD: ~$34.6B revenue / ~$858B mcap = ~24.8x sales
$NVDA: ~$215.9B revenue / ~$4.85T mcap = ~22.5x sales
$AVGO: ~$63.9B revenue / ~$1.8T mcap = ~28x sales
The market still prices $QCOM like a βsmartphone chip companyβ.
But the story is shifting:
β’ Automotive revenue growing fast
β’ IoT diversification
β’ Licensing business still highly profitable
β’ AI moving from cloud to edge devices
β’ New data center AI push with a target of $15B data center chip sales by 2029
That last point is key.
If Qualcomm can prove it is not just a mobile player, but a serious AI/edge/data center semiconductor company, the multiple gap vs AMD/Nvidia/Broadcom looks huge.
Not saying $QCOM deserves Nvidia-level valuation.
But at ~5x sales, the market is giving almost no premium for the optionality.
