Qualcomm has solidified its market position by completing the acquisition of Alphawave Semi for $2.4 billion ahead of schedule, while entering the mid-range AI desktop and laptop market with its Snapdragon X chip. Despite a recent 1.5% decline in trading and a forecasted EPS drop to $3.38, the company reported a robust 10% year-over-year revenue growth, totaling $11.27 billion. Analysts remain optimistic, with several 'Buy' ratings and a median price target of $200, indicating a resilient outlook as Qualcomm heads into 2026.
