Should I Buy Qualcomm (QCOM)? Finance YouTuber Analysis

The YouTuber recommends buying Qualcomm, citing its PEG ratio of 0.57, which he considers a 'bargain bin price' indicating it's trading below its growth rate. He emphasizes that these are high-quality companies with real revenue and earnings, not speculative stocks.

“AMD and Qualcomm are both sitting at a peg of 0.57. Dell's at 0.61, Micron at 0.64, and Broadcom at 0.75. And the best part is these are not speculative penny stocks.” — ▶ 7:25

The YouTuber views Qualcomm as fairly valued with a score of 75/100. While acknowledging its dominance in smartphone chips, he points to growth drivers in its automotive business and its positioning for on-device AI with the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5.

“Analysts list Qualcomm with 8.7% upside over the next 12 months. And in my scoring system, I see it as fairly valued today with an overall score of 75 out of 100.” — ▶ Watch clip

The YouTuber recommends Qualcomm due to its strong position in the smartphone and IoT chip markets, expanding into automotive chipsets. It has a low PE ratio of 16, a solid dividend, and its stock price is currently 10% below its 200-day moving average, indicating undervaluation. Analysts project a 29% upside.

“The 200 day simple moving average is at $171. While the filming of this today, the stock price is at $155. It's about 10% below that 200 day moving average, meaning that it has a little bit of value to make up, which I obviously like to see.” — ▶ Watch clip

The YouTuber views Qualcomm as a 'cash cow' due to its Snapdragon X+ processor meeting Microsoft's AI Co-pilot PC requirements, positioning it to compete with Apple's M3 chip in high-end laptops. Qualcomm designs chips using Arm infrastructure, making it integral to the expanding AI ecosystem. Strong historical financial performance, with a 5-year CAGR of 24.4%, supports the bullish outlook.

“I see Qualcomm to be a cash cow I don't see them blowing up as quickly as Nvidia anytime soon but they design most of the edge chips that are in all of our Mobile Electronics and now that laptops are offered with some high-end Snapdragon processors they may be growing a lot faster than expected” — ▶ 9:50

The YouTuber recommends Qualcomm, a leader in semiconductor design and telecommunications, highlighting its Snapdragon processors in mobile devices and 5G modem chips in Apple phones. He notes its strong performance with over 94% growth in the last year and over 20% total returns over three and five years, combined with a healthy dividend of 1.43%.

“now let's take a look at their performance over the last year which is over 94% and the three and fiveyear total returns are both over 20% Which is extremely high and this all comes with a very healthy dividend return of 1.43% you're getting a great return and it also has a very healthy dividend which is really the best of both worlds” — ▶ 14:45

The YouTuber sees Qualcomm as a key player in the middle phase of AI growth, focusing on edge computing. Qualcomm's Snapdragon processors are leaders in mobile devices, and they produce 5G modem chips. As AI shifts from mainframes to individual user devices, requiring significant hardware upgrades, Qualcomm's low-power chips for IoT and automotive systems will become increasingly important, driving revenue growth in the coming years.

“the chips from qualcom are associated more with Edge Computing where they are a leader with their Snapdragon processors that are in Android phones tablets and mobile devices” — ▶ 10:50
