Qualcomm Inc. stock (NASDAQ: QCOM) is up around 10% in the past month (twenty-one trading days), performing better than the S&P 500 which was up just 1.6% over this period. If you look at the change over the last five and ten days, too, the stock has returned 9.2% and 17%, performing much better than the broader markets. Qualcomm’s most recent Q2 ’22 earnings, saw revenue rising from $7.94 billion in Q2 ’21 to $11.16 billion in Q2 ’22. Additionally, COGS and other operating expenses rose at a slower rate, and operating income jumped from $2.17 billion to $3.86 billion over this period. Combined with a slightly lower effective tax rate, net income jumped, and EPS came in higher at $2.61 from $1.55 in Q2 ’21. Earlier this month, there were rumors of Apple struggling to design its own mobile chipsets, implying that Qualcomm might end up supplying chipsets to Apple for longer than expected. A lot of the recent rally also comes as a bounce back from the recent sharp drop in the company’s stock from $186 at the start of this year, to as low as $120 in late June.

Now, is QCOM stock set to continue its rally or could we expect a pullback?
