Why Qualcomm's (QCOM) Long-Term Prospects Shine, Even if the Stock Doesn't
Qualcomm (QCOM) has underperformed over the past year, declining 26%, primarily due to macroeconomic factors rather than internal company mechanics. Although the company's fundamentals remain very solid, it has faced some headwinds, such as concerns that its business is too concentrated on Apple (AAPL) for modem revenue, despite its broader operations still being more rooted in the Android ecosystem. Easily unpack a company's performance with TipRanks' new KPI Data for smart investment decisions Receive undervalued, market resilient stocks right to your inbox with TipRanks' Smart Value Newsletter Still, that doesn't stop me from seeing the stock as a long-term Buy—especially since my bullishness comes from Qualcomm's key competitive advantage: its ability to build the Snapdragon platform, which integrates a modem, CPU, and even a GPU chip—something no other competitor can currently match. This positions the company to tap into new business opportunities that could help offset its current customer concentration. Beyond that, Qualcomm's asset-light model allows it to generate very high returns on its investments, highlighting its operational efficiency, strong financial health, and consistent value creation for shareholders. This helps justify the company trading at a slightly stretched valuation when considering its operational profits relative to enterprise value. When looking for value stocks, one of the most important factors—if not the most important—is a company's ability to generate consistent earnings. Examining QCOM's balance sheet reveals a capital-light, high-margin model driven by intellectual property (IP) and characterized by heavy investment in research and development (R&D). As a fabless semiconductor company, Qualcomm relies on external manufacturing partners such as TSMC (TSM) and Samsung (SSNLF) for chip production. Notably, only approximately 7% of its $55.3 billion in total assets is allocated to property, plant, and equipment (PP&E), which is relatively low compared to the industry average. This underscores the efficiency of its asset-light business model and the minimal physical infrastructure required to support its operations. Roughly 18% of its assets are classified as goodwill, indicating a strong track record of acquisitions, which is clearly part of its strategy to acquire intellectual property (IP) or talent rather than build everything in-house. One recent example is the $2.4 billion acquisition of the UK-based semiconductor firm Alphawave. Additionally, approximately 12% of Qualcomm's total assets are tied to IP licensing and chip design. That makes sense, given its dominant position in the Android smartphone chip market, especially in the high-end segment with its Snapdragon lineup. Given that around 37% of Qualcomm's total assets are intangible, it's worth considering the company's actual operational efficiency once these intangibles are excluded. To gain a clearer picture, it is sensible to examine how Qualcomm allocates its limited tangible capital to generate profits. Over the past twelve months, Qualcomm produced an operating profit of $12.3 billion. During the same period, its net working capital was approximately $2.7 billion, and its invested capital—mainly property, plant, and equipment, and other intangibles—totaled roughly $8.28 billion. Dividing the operating profit by this invested capital plus working capital yields an eye-catching ~112% return on capital (ROC). That kind of number highlights Qualcomm's exceptional operational efficiency, something typically only seen in asset-light, IP-driven tech or software companies. For context, most of these firms operate with a return on capital (ROC) well below 50%. In short, despite a balance sheet loaded with intangibles, Qualcomm proves that it's highly efficient with the real capital it uses. And that translates into three key advantages: sustainable value creation, a durable competitive moat, and stronger financial flexibility. Even a company with a high return on capital isn't necessarily a buy—not if you're overpaying for it. That's why it's vital to assess operating profitability in relation to the company's total valuation, not just traditional P/E or P/B metrics. One way to do this is by comparing operating profit to enterprise value (EV), which reflects what the market is actually paying for the entire business. In Qualcomm's case, we can measure this by dividing its operating profit by its enterprise value (EV). Over the last twelve months, Qualcomm generated $12.3 billion in operating profit, while its current enterprise value stands at $164.6 billion. That results in an earnings yield of 7.5%. To interpret that number correctly, it should be compared to Qualcomm's cost of capital. Using a 10-year treasury yield of 4.5%, a beta of 1.2, and an equity risk premium of 4–5%, the estimated cost of equity falls between 9% and 10%. Since the earnings yield of 7.5% is below this range, Qualcomm doesn't appear particularly cheap at the moment. However, judged against historic performance against the S&P 500 (SPX), QCOM stock has underperformed. That said, this isn't necessarily a red flag. Even if the stock looks a bit expensive on this metric, Qualcomm continues to create value through its exceptional return on capital and strong cash generation. This is reflected in its sustainable 2.28% dividend yield and $16.5 billion in share buybacks over the past four years. Given Qualcomm's maturity, profitability, and operational efficiency, a lower earnings yield may be viewed as acceptable, reflecting a premium for quality and stability. Analyst sentiment on Qualcomm stock is somewhat mixed. Out of 17 experts who've issued ratings in the past three months, eight are bullish, eight are neutral, and just one is bearish. Still, there's little hesitation when it comes to upside expectations. Qualcomm's average stock price target is at $177.75, suggesting ~14% in potential upside over the next twelve months. While traditional valuation metrics may indicate that Qualcomm is undervalued, I believe that perspective overlooks the company's strong operational efficiency. Qualcomm doesn't need to appear 'cheap' to represent a compelling investment opportunity. Its robust, above-average returns on capital, driven by an asset-light business model, demonstrate its ability to create substantial shareholder value and may, in fact, justify a valuation premium. Viewed through this fundamental lens, and given Qualcomm's consistent track record of long-term value creation, I consider it a solid long-term investment, even at its current, relatively full valuation.

Regional airline closes up shop and plans ‘to sell everything' as flyers are left grounded
Silver Airways, an airline operating out of Florida, is selling all of its assets to an investment firm and shutting down its operation. The airline filed for bankruptcy in late 2024 due to its growing debts. Local broadcaster WLRN reports that Wexford Capital — the only party interested in buying the airline at a recent auction — will take control of the company. "In an attempt to restructure in bankruptcy, Silver entered into a transaction to sell its assets to another airline holding company, who unfortunately has determined to not continue Silver's flight operations in Florida, the Bahamas and the Caribbean," the airline wrote on Tuesday night. The company requested that customers looking for ticket refunds do so through the website and not at the airport. "All credit card purchases should be refunded through your credit card company or your travel agency," the company said. Silver was already dealing with hundreds of millions of dollars of debt when the company lost another $1 million around Memorial Day due to flight cancellations related to mechanical issues, according to the South Florida Sun-Sentinel. The airline maintained its headquarters in Fort Lauderdale and operated a second hub in Tampa, though by the end of its run the company only was flying eight turboprop planes. A few months earlier, it had double the number of planes, but in early March some of its fleet was repossessed. That too caused flight cancellations. The company almost lost its headquarters in April 2023 when the Broward County Commission considered terminating their lease at the airport over unpaid bills, according to One Mile At a Time. Silver primarily served Florida, the Bahamas, and the Caribbean. Its locations included Tampa, Key West, Tallahassee, Pensacola and Fort Lauderdale in Florida, Georgetown, North Eluthera, Governor's Harbour, Bimini, Marsh Harbour, Nassau, and Freeport in the Bahamas, and St. Kitts, Tortola, Dominica, St. Maarten, St. Croix, San Juan and St. Thomas in the Caribbean.

Trump voters get smacked by inflation in shopping aisles — and some blame tariffs
Shoppers vote with their wallets – and even those who supported President Trump are having a tough time swallowing prices that are surging because of his trade war, The Post has learned. Omar — a Los Angeles-based long-haul truck driver who spoke to The Post on the condition his last name not be given — said he convinced his wife, grown children and father-in-law to vote for Trump last fall. His pitch: Trump was 'a businessman and everything was going to better because he was going to be good for the economy,' he told The Post in an interview. Since then, however, parts and services for his rig have gone through the roof. An oil change now costs $480 compared with the $360 he paid a year ago. He recently forked out $600 each for Firestone tires. Last year, they were $390 each. 'He's doing things that are making the economy worse,' Omar said. 'Tariffs are hurting everyone.' 8 Retailers have signaled that they will raise prices while some have already done so on some items. Reddit/Plus_Astronaut_420 On Wednesday, the US Bureau of Labor Statistics said inflation in May rose 2.4%. That was in line with the expectations of economists, who said the effects of Trump's tariffs still haven't had a broad and significant impact on prices. Some shoppers aren't buying it, as many of the the 40% of Americans who are living paycheck to paycheck see their purchasing power as vanishing. Retailers including Walmart, Dollar General, Target, Costco and Best Buy have warned they will be raising prices due to tariffs – and some have been caught doing it already. At Walmart, a 'Jurassic World' T. Rex figure had spiked by nearly 38% to $55 on May 21 from just a month ago. A heating pad costs 25% more $24.96 this year, according to employees who posted photos of the price hikes on social media. A fishing reel at Walmart jumped to $83.26 from $57.37. 8 A fishing reel at Walmart jumped in price this year, according to Walmart employees. Reddit/Majestickenny12 Joe — a regular Walmart shopper who also asked that his last name not be used — told The Post last week he was eyeing new air conditioners at the store in Cortlandt Manor, NY. Last year, he said, a small unit that cools off a 300-square-foot room cost $115 — up from $100 a year earlier. Now, that same unit costs $139. A resident of nearby Peekskill, NY, he adds that he's cooking at home more and cutting back on visits to McDonald's, Panera Bread and his favorite local diner — where a steak now costs $30 versus $22 last year — to about three times a month versus eight times a month last year. 'I don't like the fact that I'm paying more for the same thing that used to cost me less,' he told The Post. 8 Peekskill resident, Joe, says a small air conditioner at Walmart cost $115 last year– and this year it's $139. Google Maps Last week, Campbell's CEO Mick Beekhuizen said during an earnings call with analysts that the company is seeing 'the highest levels of meals prepared at home since early 2020.' Campbell's is selling more canned soup, Italian sauces and meals, Beekhuizen said as consumers choose 'ingredients that help stretch tighter food budgets.' As of April, prices on groceries and key household goods had risen by 56% during the past six years, according to a Gordon Haskett pricing study looking at 20 common items at a Texas Walmart store. Shoppers at that location paid $99.40 in April for the same 20 items that cost them $63.52 in April 2019, including a 111% increase for a two-liter bottle of Pepsi to $2.64, a 41% increase to $8.44 for 12 rolls of Angel Soft toilet paper and a 56% increase to $3.48 for a 20-ounce Heinz ketchup bottle. The pain has only increased in recent weeks, according to grocery store owners. 8 President Trump shows off a chart of tariffs on 'Liberation Day.' AFP via Getty Images 8 Walmart workers are sharing pictures of price hikes at stores around the country. Reddit/Nvalee A 10.8 oz box of Honey Nut Cheerios and a 9.6 oz box of Kellogg's Corn Flakes each went up by 50 cents since March to $5.99 at three Key Food stores in the New York metro area and Massachusetts, according to an owner, Anthony Pena. A 59 oz bottle of Tropicana orange juice meanwhile went up by 10% to $5.59 over the same period and bananas have risen by as much as 5 cents to 15 cents per pound in New York City. 'Our distributors don't tell us why the prices went up,' Pena added. 'They just post the new prices.' Milton and Nettie Hargrove, a retired couple living in Peekskill, NY, were out last week at a nearby Five Below buying candy – one of the few treats they allow themselves these days. They live on Social Security and have to budget carefully or they will wind up borrowing from friends and family to pay for food and gas, they told The Post. Meanwhile, southern states including Louisiana, Mississippi, Arkansas, Georgia, Texas, and North Carolina are 'experiencing some of the greatest consumer credit stress,' said Moody's economist Justin Begley. The 30-plus day delinquency rates on credit cards, auto and student loans in those states have all risen the most this year, according to Moody's data. 8 A 59-ounce Tropicana orange juice costs 10% more since March at several Key Food grocery stores. Tropicana 'A lot of people have been relying on debt to make ends meet,' said Richard Barrington, a financial analyst for Credit Sesame. Credit-card debt has grown at a faster rate than any other type of debt over the past 5 years. 'It's not like prices reset to where they were before,' Barrington added. 'They are still higher than they were and they are eating up a higher portion of people's budget.' While inflation has tracked lower than many economists expected, it could ratchet up to 4% later this year depending on what happens with tariffs, according to Moody's chief economist, Mark Zandi. 8 Honey Nut Cheerios is 50 cents more expensive since March at some Key Food stores. General Mills 8 Kellogg's Corn Flakes is 50 cents more expensive since March. Kellogg's Thanks to a 25% tariff on automobiles, new car buyers paid 2.5% more for their vehicles in April compared to March – or $48,699, according to Kelley Blue Book, which notes that a monthly increase that steep is 'rare.' Used cars ticked up by $367 to $25,547 over the same period. Older vehicles priced less than $15,000 are in 'short supply' as shoppers rushed to scoop up deals before tariffs kicked in, according to the Blue Book. 'We are at the precipice of a storm and you want to say 'look up, look at what's coming and protect yourself,' Jeff Mandel, founder of IDIQ, which offers financial services and advice to consumers in financial distress.
