Qualcomm (QCOM) Stock at a Crossroads: Will 5G & AI Ignite a 2025 Breakout or Stall Out?

Overview: Qualcomm’s Business & Core Technologies Qualcomm is an American multinational semiconductor company founded in 1985 and headquartered in San Diego, CA. It pioneered wireless communication technologies, notably the CDMA cellular standard in the 1990s, and today its inventions underlie many 3G/4G/5G standards en.wikipedia.org en.wikipedia.org. The company operates a fabless model (designing chips which are manufactured by partners like TSMC) and has two main segments: Qualcomm’s core technologies center on wireless connectivity (from 3G to 5G modems and now 6G research), mobile processing (high-performance, low-power chips with integrated CPU, GPU, AI engine, etc.), and an increasing focus on on-device AI.
