Qualcomm stock falls again as “glass cloth” supply report rattles chip names ahead of earnings

Qualcomm stock falls again as “glass cloth” supply report rattles chip names ahead of earnings

New York, Jan 14, 2026, 13:22 EST — Regular session QUALCOMM Incorporated (QCOM.O) slipped 1.5%, hitting $162.73 early Wednesday afternoon, which also marked its session low. Trading volume reached roughly 3.4 million shares. (MacRumors) The slide is significant, but it’s not about demand this time. The concern now centers on supply — a niche, critical component that could choke production if availability shrinks more. Markets have been quick to sell off anything suggesting a fresh bottleneck. The timing couldn’t be worse for sentiment. Chip stocks have been volatile heading into earnings season, and with Qualcomm’s report looming, traders are grabbing

Qualcomm stock slides again as traders size up handset risk ahead of Feb. 4 earnings

New York, Jan 13, 2026, 19:47 (ET) — After-hours Qualcomm Incorporated shares dropped roughly 2.4% to $165.29 in after-hours trading Tuesday, extending the recent streak of declines for the stock. The pullback comes as investors adjust their bets on chip stocks tied heavily to handsets, a sector known for rapid demand shifts and volatile pricing. Qualcomm, meanwhile, faces pressure to demonstrate its growth extends beyond phones, but the market shows little tolerance when that story falters. Qualcomm will hold its fiscal first-quarter earnings call on Feb. 4. (investor.qualcomm.com) During the regular session, the stock dropped 2.35%, marking its third consecutive

Qualcomm (QCOM) stock slips as Mizuho flags Apple modem risk; what to watch next

New York, Jan 13, 2026, 12:19 (EST) — Regular session Qualcomm shares slipped roughly 1.5% to $166.80 on Tuesday, lagging behind the broader semiconductor sector as chip-focused ETFs edged up. The broader market held steady following new U.S. inflation figures, with the S&P 500 tracker nearly flat and the Nasdaq-100 fund ticking up slightly. The Labor Department reported that consumer prices in December increased 2.7% year-over-year, while core inflation, excluding food and energy, came in at 2.6%. (Bureau of Labor Statistics) For Qualcomm, interest rates matter — but handset demand matters more. Investors are grappling with how much pricing power

Why Qualcomm stock slid nearly 5% today: Mizuho downgrade, Apple risk and the next QCOM catalyst

Why Qualcomm stock slid nearly 5% today: Mizuho downgrade, Apple risk and the next QCOM catalyst

New York, January 12, 2026, 18:12 EST — After-hours trading Qualcomm Incorporated shares dropped 4.8% on Monday, slipping to $169.27 in after-hours trading. The decline followed a downgrade by Mizuho, which also lowered its price target. The broker cut its estimates by up to 7%, citing expected challenges for Qualcomm’s handset shipments and its “iPhone content” — the components it supplies for Apple’s phones — in 2026. (TipRanks) The timing is rough, with the market once again treating handset exposure like a hot potato. A single negative update can still send shares tumbling, despite growing investor chatter around chips for

New York, January 12, 2026, 12:39 EST — Regular session QUALCOMM Incorporated shares slipped roughly 3.5% to $171.64 by midday Monday, hitting a low of $171.24 earlier. Meanwhile, the Nasdaq 100 tracker QQQ edged up 0.1%, and the iShares Semiconductor ETF rose 0.4%. The market mood has been mixed following threats from the Trump administration to indict Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, raising fresh doubts about the Fed’s independence.

AMD stock jumps as Bernstein stays cautious on chipmaker and Wall Street frets Fed fight

New York, Jan 12, 2026, 10:31 (EST) — Regular session Shares of Advanced Micro Devices were up 2.6% at $208.44 by 10:31 a.m. EST on Monday, even as the Nasdaq 100 tracker dipped slightly. The stock traded between $200.00 and $208.44. The move lands in a market that is quick to swing on chip names, where money has chased anything tied to artificial intelligence and then backed away just as fast. AMD sits near the center of that push-pull ahead of its next results. Bernstein analyst Stacy Rasgon reiterated “outperform” calls on Nvidia and Broadcom and wrote that AI spending

Qualcomm stock slips on Mizuho downgrade, Apple modem worries linger into the week

Qualcomm stock slips on Mizuho downgrade, Apple modem worries linger into the week

NEW YORK, January 11, 2026, 16:18 EST — The market has closed. QUALCOMM Incorporated shares dropped 2.3% to $177.78 on Friday following a downgrade from Mizuho, which pointed to rising challenges in the smartphone sector and doubts about iPhone modem content. With U.S. markets closed Sunday, this rating cut could weigh on trading when markets reopen. Mizuho’s Vijay Rakesh cut Qualcomm to Hold from Buy, trimming his price target to $175, which he views as fair value. Handsets account for over 70% of revenue at Qualcomm’s QCT chip segment, he noted, expecting global handset shipments to decline between 0% and

Qualcomm (QCOM) stock drops after Mizuho downgrade flags Apple modem risk

New York, January 10, 2026, 16:59 EST — Market closed Qualcomm shares slid on Friday after Mizuho downgraded the chip designer, keeping the focus on a familiar worry: how fast Apple can replace Qualcomm modem chips in iPhones. The move matters because it lands in a week where Qualcomm tried to remind investors it is more than a handset story, with new PC chips and more auto ties on display around CES in Las Vegas. It also comes as rate-sensitive tech trades face fresh tests. U.S. inflation data next week can quickly reset expectations for interest rates and the valuations

New York, Jan 9, 2026, 18:53 EST — After-hours QUALCOMM Incorporated shares dropped 2.25% to $177.78 on Friday, following Mizuho’s downgrade and a price target cut to $175 from $200. The stock fluctuated between $174.89 and $182.20 during the day. (TipRanks) The call is gaining weight as the market shifts to viewing Qualcomm like a phone stock again. Mizuho analyst Vijay Rakesh downgraded QCOM to Neutral, citing handset headwinds and a loss of Apple share. He pointed out that handsets make up more than 70% of Qualcomm’s chip revenue.

Qualcomm was not immediately available for comment and Samsung said it does not comment on specific customers, the report said.
