5 Upcoming Dividend Increases Including A Dividend King
LSTR, MOS, PEP, PFG, QCOM, SCHD
Published: May 29, 2025 by: Seeking Alpha
Sentiment: Positive

I spotlight five companies with recent dividend increases, averaging a 5.4% hike and a 22-year growth streak, led by PepsiCo's 53-year record. My methodology combines U.S. Dividend Champions data and NASDAQ dividend updates, focusing on companies with at least five years of dividend growth. Despite strong dividend histories, none of these companies currently meet my high standards for portfolio inclusion, as I seek significant outperformance over SCHD.

Qualcomm's Re-Entry Into the CPU Market May Not Be Enough
QCOM
Published: May 21, 2025 by: MarketBeat
Sentiment: Negative

Qualcomm's NASDAQ: QCOM re-entry into the CPU semiconductor market is noteworthy for several reasons, but may not be enough to move the needle. While it affirms NVIDIA's NASDAQ: NVDA decision to open the NVLINK system to other manufacturers with NVLINK Fusion, the CPU market is already dominated by Intel and Advanced Micro Devices NASDAQ: AMD, which are unlikely to sit still.

Qualcomm: AI Infrastructure At A Discount
QCOM
Published: May 20, 2025 by: Seeking Alpha
Sentiment: Negative

Qualcomm's Q2 FY 2025 revenue rose 15% YoY to $10.8B, driven by 59% auto and 27% IoT growth.

Qualcomm: High Free Cash Flow, Diversification And Capital Allocation Alone Is Enough (Rating Upgrade)
QCOM
Published: May 20, 2025 by: Seeking Alpha
Sentiment: Positive

Qualcomm's strong YoY performance indicates the continued recovery of the smartphone market and positive progress on its diversification strategy. While I'm optimistic about Qualcomm's diversification into automotive, I remain skeptical of its entry into the PCs and Industrials. While losing Apple can be a significant hole in Qualcomm's revenue and profits, its strong free cash flow and friendly shareholder capital allocation are good enough to offset this.

Sentiment: Neutral

Qualcomm's Q2 FY2025 results crushed expectations, with strong growth in QCT, IoT, and Automotive segments, highlighting superior execution and operational strength. Despite stellar fundamentals and bargain-level valuations, technical breakdowns and macro uncertainties suggest further downside risk before a sustainable rally emerges. I remain bullish long-term and have not reduced my position, but recent volatility and broken support levels warrant a more cautious 'buy' rating.

Qualcomm: A Bigger Moat In A Shrinking Price
QCOM
Published: May 19, 2025 by: Seeking Alpha
Sentiment: Positive

Qualcomm is undervalued at 14.2x Price-To-FCF, despite market concerns over Apple business loss and customer concentration risks.
