The read, from its own figures
What its numbers say
- QCOM closes below its 50-day average ($177.91) while the 50-day is still above the 200-day ($169.54): a pullback inside a longer rise, not yet a downtrend.
- At $164.47, QCOM is 36.7% below its 1-year high of $259.92, set on May 29, 2026, and 34.8% above its 1-year low of $121.99 (April 7, 2026).
- Over the past month QCOM fell 11.0%, from $184.87 to $164.47.
- QCOM trades at 19.0x its last twelve months of earnings and 16.2x the next twelve months' estimate, so analysts expect earnings 17.7% higher.
- Its P/E is 27.1% below the 26.1x median of the 3 other semiconductors companies we track (NVDA, TSM, AVGO).
- QCOM's 30-day volatility, 47.6% a year, works out to a typical daily move of about 3.0%.
- Yahoo Finance puts its beta at 1.76: over five years of monthly returns, QCOM moved about 1.76% for each 1% move of the S&P 500.
- The last session traded 0.4x QCOM's average daily volume of the 30 sessions before it.
What would change the read
- A close back above the 50-day average, $177.91 (+8.2%), restores the uptrend; the 50-day falling 4.7% under the 200-day at $169.54 would make it a downtrend.
- A close above $259.92 (+58.0%) would be a new 1-year high; below $121.99 (−25.8%), a new 1-year low.
How it is computed
- Prices are Yahoo Finance's daily candles for QCOM, the same ones the chart below draws; the P/E, forward P/E and beta are Yahoo Finance quote fields.
- The averages are simple means of the last 50 and 200 closes; the 1-year high and low are the highest high and lowest low of the last 252 sessions; the 30-day volatility is the standard deviation of the past month's daily returns, annualized with the square root of 252.
- Peers are the other companies Yahoo Finance files under semiconductors among the assets we track, not a full industry screen; the median counts those with a positive P/E.
