The Zacks Analyst Blog Highlights Qualcomm, Broadcom and Intel
For Immediate Release Chicago, IL – July 29, 2025 – announces the list of stocks featured in the Analyst Blog. Every day the Zacks Equity Research analysts discuss the latest news and events impacting stocks and the financial markets. Stocks recently featured in the blog include: Qualcomm Inc. QCOM, Broadcom Inc. AVGO and Intel Corp. INTC. Here are highlights from Monday's Analyst Blog: Is Qualcomm a Smart Buy Ahead of Q3 Earnings Release This Week? Qualcomm Inc. is scheduled to report third-quarter fiscal 2025 earnings on July 30, 2025. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues and earnings is pegged at $10.36 billion and $2.68 per share, respectively. Over the past 60 days, earnings estimate for QCOM for fiscal 2025 has declined 0.26% and for fiscal 2026 it has declined 1.99%. Earnings Surprise History The chip manufacturer delivered a four-quarter earnings surprise of 6.43%, on average, beating estimates on each occasion. In the last reported quarter, the company pulled off an earnings surprise of 0.71%. Earnings Whispers Our proven model predicts a likely earnings beat for Qualcomm for the fiscal third quarter. The combination of a positive Earnings ESP and a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy), or 3 (Hold) increases the chances of an earnings beat. This is perfectly the case here. You can uncover the best stocks to buy or sell before they're reported with our Earnings ESP Filter. Qualcomm currently has an ESP of +0.60% with a Zacks Rank #3. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank stocks here. Factors Shaping the Upcoming Results During the quarter, Qualcomm introduced the cutting-edge Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 Mobile Platform. With cutting-edge CPU and GPU capabilities, the solution offers significantly improved AI performance, enhanced gaming, content generation and connectivity features. The newly launched solution has already gained solid market traction. Leading OEMs, such as HONOR and vivo, have already selected the Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 Mobile Platform for their upcoming devices. Realme is also expected to adopt the new platform. In the Quarter under review, Qualcomm was selected by e& a global technology group to strengthen digital infrastructure across the UAE. Under its Vision 2030, Saudi Arabia is heavily investing in advanced AI and 5G technologies to drive nationwide digital transformation. Qualcomm has positioned itself as a key player in that initiative. QCOM has joined forces with HUMAIN to develop AI data centers to deliver cloud-to-edge hybrid AI services. It has formed a partnership with Aramco Digital to support the development of advanced edge AI industrial IoT devices and end-to-end solutions. In the third quarter, the company acquired Autotalks to enhance its vehicle-to-everything (V2X) technology offerings for safer, smarter transportation systems. Qualcomm has also acquired MovianAI, the former generative AI division of VinAI, a prominent Vietnam-based AI company. The acquisition will give Qualcomm access to VinAI's comprehensive expertise in generative AI, machine learning, computer vision, and natural language processing. It has also inked a definitive agreement to acquire Alphawave Semi for an enterprise value of approximately $2.4 billion. With advanced technology solutions that are complementary to power-efficient CPU and NPU cores, Alphawave Semi delivers connectivity products and chiplets that drive faster, more reliable data transfer with higher performance and lower power consumption for 5G wireless, AI and data center applications. These acquisitions will significantly bolster Qualcomm's AI capabilities. Price Performance Over the past year, Qualcomm has lost 10.3% against the industry's growth of 41%, lagging peers like Broadcom Inc. but outperforming Intel Corp.. During this period, Broadcom has gained 93.8%, while Intel has declined 32.2%. Key Valuation Metric From a valuation standpoint, Qualcomm appears to be relatively cheaper compared to the industry and below its mean. Going by the price/earnings ratio, the company shares currently trade at 13.44 forward earnings, lower than 34.13 for the industry and the stock's mean of 16.97. Investment Considerations Qualcomm is aiming to be the driving force of the next wave of AI innovation. Its recent strategic acquisitions and innovation initiative are perfectly aligned with that strategy. The buyouts will provide Qualcomm's access to next-generation technology, bolster its R&D initiatives, and facilitate the development of state-of-the-art AI-driven solutions for a wide range of industries, including smartphones, PCs, software-defined vehicles and more. The company is witnessing healthy traction in the premium handset market. However, intensifying competition from low-cost chip manufacturers like MediaTek and Rockchip is impacting margins in the mid-range smartphone market. The company has been taking actions to counter these issues. It is introducing several cutting-edge AI features in its chips for mid-range smartphones, and it has been actively collaborating with major smartphone manufacturers to develop a solution tailored to their requirements. Qualcomm is also expanding its portfolio offerings to enhance resiliency in its business model. The company is expected to benefit from strong demand for its Snapdragon Digital Chassis platform in the automotive market. These factors will likely boost commercial prospects. However, despite some setbacks, Intel has remained a major player in chipset development. The company's growing prowess in the AI PC vertical can pose a challenge to Qualcomm's AI PC expansion. The company is also facing competition from Broadcom, which is a prominent supplier of RF Components to leading smartphone makers. End Note With a Zacks Rank #3, QCOM appears to be treading in the middle of the road, and new investors could be better off if they trade with caution. Intensifying competition in the smartphone vertical is putting pressure on profitability. Declining earnings estimates highlight bearish sentiment. However, the results of a single quarter are not so vital for long-term stakeholders. Investors who already own the stock may consider holding on to it. Qualcomm is ramping up its AI initiatives, diversifying its portfolio to capitalize on the emerging trends across multiple end markets. Growing traction in high-end smartphones, advanced driver assistance, V2X communication, AI PC and IoT space is positive. Strategic buyouts are enhancing portfolio strength. Such development augurs well for long-term sustainable growth. Why Haven't You Looked at Zacks' Top Stocks?

Pre-Markets Up Again on Big News Morning
Tuesday, July 29, 2025 Pre-market futures are up at this hour on a bevy of new information this morning — from a vast array of earnings reports to key economic prints to a massive railway merger likely to pass its government board. The Dow is currently dipping a tad, +12 points, the S&P 500 is +11 points and the Nasdaq is +88 at this hour. The small-cap Russell 2000 is also up +12 points presently. Trans-Continental Railway Deal Struck In what would never have passed regulatory muster under the previous presidential administration, this morning we hear of a deal where Union Pacific UNP will be purchasing Norfolk Southern NSC for a reported price of $72 billion, or $320 per share. This would create the first-ever trans-continental railroad in the U.S. Of course, this deal would first need to pass via the Surface Transportation Board, but President Trump is likely to see this deal as favorable for the U.S. (despite monopolistic considerations), and has the power to appoint a new member to the board who would view this merger as favorable, as well. Both UNP and NSC are lower on this announcement. Trade Balance Eases on Tariff Outlook The Advanced U.S. Trade Balance in Goods for June to a healthy pullback month over month to -$86 billion. This pullback is greater than expected, although it was led by a decline in imports (-4.2%),which analysts were looking toward. We're seeing a slow-down in trade based on higher tariff expectations; as deals are made with U.S. trading partners and tariff deadlines fade, we're thankfully well off the record-low trade balance of -$162 billion in March of 2025. Q2 Earnings Roundup: Boeing, P&G, Spotify & More So many companies reporting earnings, so little time! We'll pull together a quick roundup on this busiest day of Q2 earnings season so far: Boeing BA continues to make improvements to its previously dire business situation: negative earnings in Q2 of -$1.24 per share improved over the Zacks consensus by 30 cents, or a +19.5% bottom-line surprise. On the top line, revenues of $22.75 billion outpaced estimates by +4.1%, as deliveries improved in the quarter. Shares are up another +1.4% in early trading, adding to its +33.6% gains year to date. For more on BA's earnings, click here. UnitedHealth's UNH struggles continue, on the other hand, missing on its bottom line — $4.08 per share versus $4.84 expected — by -15.7%. Revenues of $111.6 billion eked out a beat over estimates by +0.06%. Guidance has been revised somewhat lower, and the -44.2% share price year to date is now another -3.3% in the pre-market. For more on UNH's earnings, click here. It wasn't all bad news: Royal Caribbean RCL demonstrated strength in cruise-line business, and the company's earnings of $4.38 per share in the quarter surged past the Zacks consensus by +6.8%, even as revenues of $4.54 billion marginally missed projections. The stock's -6.7% sell-off ahead of the bell looks to be a bit of profit-taking, as RCL had been up +52.6% year to date. For more on RCL's earnings, click here. But Spotify SPOT took a big slide on both top and bottom lines this morning, even as paying subscriptions and monthly active users grew. A negative -$0.48 per share swung to a loss from the +$2.13 Zacks consensus estimate, for a negative earnings surprise of -122.5%. Revenues of $4.76 billion came in lower than expected by -3.47%. Shares had been +56.7% year to date, but are -7.3% in pre-market at this hour. For more on SPOT's earnings, click here. Questions or comments about this article and/or author? Click here>> Higher.
