Qualcomm Reports Q4 Revenue Decline Amid Weak Smartphone Chip Sales and Growth in Automotive
Qualcomm reported an 8% year-on-year decline in fourth-quarter revenue to $10.32 billion, mainly due to a 26% drop in smartphone chip sales amid weak demand and rising memory costs. The company’s automotive and Internet of Things segments showed strong growth, with automotive revenue up 89%. CEO Cristiano Amon highlighted progress in non-handset businesses, expecting these to offset declining Apple-related sales. Despite data-center expansion and diversification efforts, Qualcomm’s shares fell over 9% following the earnings report.
