Qualcomm stock edges higher in thin year-end trade as Fed minutes land — what to watch next

Qualcomm stock edges higher in thin year-end trade as Fed minutes land — what to watch next

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 21:28 ET — Market closed Qualcomm Incorporated shares finished modestly higher on Tuesday, closing up 0.22 points, or 0.13%, at $173.65. The small gain came as Wall Street ended slightly lower in choppy, holiday-thinned trading. The Dow fell 0.20%, the S&P 500 slipped 0.14% and the Nasdaq lost 0.23%, while Apple fell 0.3% and Nvidia dropped 0.4%, according to Reuters. Mark Hackett, chief market strategist at Nationwide, said: “It’s just a healthy rebalancing of allocations more so than an emotionally driven sell-off.” Reuters Why this matters now: late-December positioning can move chip stocks even when

Qualcomm stock edges up as Fed minutes hit; QCOM eyes Feb. 4 earnings call

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 15:14 ET — Regular session Qualcomm (QCOM.O) shares were up about 0.2% at $173.75 in afternoon trading on Tuesday, hovering near Monday’s close as markets digested new details on the U.S. interest-rate outlook. That matters for Qualcomm and other semiconductor names because investors often value them like “growth” stocks, whose prices can swing when bond yields move. In year-end trading, the rate narrative can outweigh company-specific headlines. Minutes from the Federal Reserve’s Dec. 9-10 meeting — the detailed account of policymakers’ debate — showed officials split even after approving a quarter-point, or 0.25 percentage point,

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 22:10 ET — Market closed QUALCOMM Incorporated (NASDAQ: QCOM) shares fell 0.8% to close at $173.43 on Monday, after trading between $175.19 and $172.79. StockAnalysis The move matters because chip stocks often magnify shifts in risk appetite, and investors have been quick to adjust exposure into the final sessions of the year. Qualcomm is closely tracked as a bellwether for high-end smartphones and related wireless demand. U.S. stocks ended lower on Monday, with the Nasdaq down 0.5% and the S&P 500 off 0.35%, while Treasury yields eased as investors recalibrated expectations for Federal Reserve rate

NEW YORK, Dec. 28, 2025, 4:03 p.m. ET — Market closed Qualcomm Incorporated (NASDAQ: QCOM) heads into the final trading stretch of 2025 with its stock holding near the $175 level after a quiet, holiday-thinned week for U.S. equities—and a weekend where markets are closed. Shares last finished the regular session at $174.81, essentially flat on the day, leaving investors focused less on immediate price action and more on what could drive the next decisive move: the company’s February 4, 2026 earnings event, the smartphone AI upgrade cycle, and Qualcomm’s expanding push beyond handsets into automotive and data centers.

NEW YORK, Dec. 27, 2025, 4:06 p.m. ET — Market closed Qualcomm Incorporated (NASDAQ: QCOM) heads into the weekend with U.S. stock markets shut, after the shares finished Friday’s regular session essentially flat and trading activity remained thin in the post-Christmas lull. Qualcomm closed at $174.81, up about 0.02% on the day, after moving within a narrow intraday range that underscored the “holiday tape” dynamic now shaping many large-cap names.

Qualcomm (QCOM) Stock News Today: Alphawave Deal Update, Earnings Outlook, and Analyst Price Targets (Dec. 23, 2025)

QUALCOMM Incorporated (NASDAQ: QCOM) stock traded around $174.78 on Tuesday, December 23, 2025, modestly higher on the session after moving between roughly $173.47 and $175.27. Volume in the latest session was about 2.6 million shares, pointing to a relatively calm tape heading into a holiday-shortened stretch for U.S. markets. For investors following Qualcomm stock, the story late in 2025 is less about one headline and more about how several strategic threads are converging: a newly completed connectivity acquisition aimed at the data-center roadmap, a near-term earnings outlook still tied to premium smartphones (and customer concentration risk), and Wall Street’s ongoing
