Why Qualcomm stock slid nearly 5% today: Mizuho downgrade, Apple risk and the next QCOM catalyst
Qualcomm shares fell 4.8% to $169.27 in after-hours trading Monday after Mizuho downgraded the stock and cut its price target, citing handset and iPhone-related risks. The drop came as the S&P 500 rose 0.16%. Investors are watching for Qualcomm’s earnings report in early February for updates on phone sales and Apple’s plans to develop more in-house modem technology.
