Qualcomm on Wednesday forecast fiscal third-quarter sales and adjusted profit above Wall Street expectations, driven by a faster-than-expected recovery in smartphone markets thanks to artificial-intelligence features.
The company faces competitive pressure from China’s Huawei Technologies Co, which last year introduced a domestically made smartphone chip, and Taiwanese rival MediaTek, which last week said it expects rising sales this year as it gains market share among the premium-priced Android handsets. Qualcomm is hoping to benefit from consumer demand to upgrade devices to run AI chatbots directly on the device rather than going over to a data centre.
In Qualcomm’s chip segment, the company forecast fiscal third-quarter sales with a midpoint of $7.8 billion, compared with analyst estimates of $7.74 billion, according to LSEG data.
