Q2 2024 Qualcomm Inc Earnings Call Transcript

May 01, 2024 / 08:45PM GMT

Key Points

Positve
  • Qualcomm Inc (QCOM) reported strong non-GAAP revenues of $9.4 billion and non-GAAP earnings per share of $2.44, surpassing the high end of guidance.
  • The company's chipset business generated $8 billion in revenue, driven by robust demand for premium tier Android smartphones and growth in the automotive sector.
  • Significant progress in technology and product roadmaps, particularly in on-device GenAI applications, with the launch of the Qualcomm AI Hub.
  • Record growth in QCT Automotive revenues, which increased by 35% year-over-year, with a design-win pipeline now valued at approximately $45 billion.
  • Continued leadership in 5G technology with the introduction of the Snapdragon X80, the world's most advanced 5G Modem-RF System.
Negative
  • Guidance for the third fiscal quarter reflects a seasonal decline in QCT handset revenues, expected to decrease by a mid-single-digit percentage sequentially.
  • Potential market saturation and competitive pressures in the smartphone segment, particularly with the absence of flagship handset launches in the upcoming quarter.
  • Challenges in the IoT segment, although recovering, still faces gradual recovery from macroeconomic factors impacting the industry.
  • Dependence on the Chinese market for a significant portion of revenue growth, which poses risks if geopolitical tensions or economic conditions in China worsen.
  • End of revenue from Huawei's product business in 2025 as the market transitions to 5G, removing a source of income for Qualcomm.
