Shares of the chip designer Qualcomm (QCOM) are up about 26.7% year-to-date, with yesterday's 4% rally carrying the stock's 2024 return past the S&P 500 Index’s ($SPX) 24% gain. While QCOM is down 20% from its YTD highs, recent developments signal promising opportunities for investors.
Qualcomm’s latest fiscal Q4 earnings report provided a much-needed boost. The company exceeded Wall Street expectations for Q4 and delivered strong guidance for Q1, setting up QCOM stock for a broadly higher open this morning.
