- Qualcomm rose nearly 6% on Thursday as its strong first-quarter forecasts signaled that the two-year-long slump in the smartphone market was easing, led by a recovery in China.
Its revenue and profit projections for the last three months of the year were both above Wall Street estimates, with the company predicting a 35% quarter-on-quarter rise in sales to Chinese smartphone customers. CEO Cristiano Amon said Qualcomm expects to retain a "majority share" of the chips in Samsung's forthcoming S24 line of phones and does not expect Huawei's re-entry into the market to affect its relationship with Chinese smartphone companies.
The company's shares are little changed this year. They trade at nearly 12 times their 12-month forward earnings estimates, compared with investor darling Nvidia's 27.2.
