After A Stellar Weekly Performance, What’s Next For Qualcomm Stock?
Qualcomm stock (NASDAQ: QCOM) is up 23% in just one week (five trading days), completely outperforming the S&P 500 which was up around 2%. If you look at the change over the last ten and twenty-one days, the stock has returned 26% and 31%, respectively, thus having outperformed the market on both occasions. Qualcomm reported stellar full-year 2021 earnings this week, with revenue jumping to $33.57 billion from $23.53 billion in FY ’20, driven exclusively by a $10 billion rise in equipment and services revenue. With COGS and other operating expenses in control, operating margins rose from 26.5% to 29.2% over this period, and despite a slightly higher effective tax rate, EPS jumped from $4.58 in FY 2020 to$7.99 in FY 2021. These strong numbers helped drive a 23% jump in Qualcomm stock since the earnings announcement.
