Arete cut its Qualcomm target from USD 314.00 to USD 305.00 on October 16, 2026, according to Yahoo Finance. Against Qualcomm's Nasdaq price of USD 177.12 at 9:36 a.m. ET on October 19, 2026, the new target is 72.22 percent higher. Qualcomm stock was trading at EUR 155.95 at Lang & Schwarz on October 19, 2026 at 3:31 p.m. CEST.

Analyst targets remain divided

The Arete reduction still leaves a sizeable gap between the target and the US quotation. A separate MarketBeat report dated October 13, 2026 said 38 analysts carried a consensus Hold rating and an average 12-month target of USD 204.10.

Quarterly revenue reached USD 9.95 billion

MarketBeat also reported quarterly revenue of USD 9.95 billion and earnings per share of USD 2.21, while describing revenue as 4.00 percent lower than in the same period a year earlier. That comparison gives the target debate a concrete operating backdrop: valuation expectations are being set against a business that still depends on execution beyond its established handset franchise.

Range and valuation frame the stock

Qualcomm's 52-week Nasdaq range was USD 121.99 to USD 259.92 as of October 19, 2026. The US quotation therefore stood 31.86 percent below its high and 45.20 percent above its low. The company had a USD 189.1 billion market capitalization and a 20.26 price-to-earnings ratio on the same date. Its trailing dividend yield was 2.00 percent.

Comparison with peers

Qualcomm: P/E 20.26, market capitalization USD 189.1 billion

Broadcom (NASDAQ, USD): plus 2.15 percent, P/E 42.98, market capitalization USD 1.6 trillion

Texas Instruments (NASDAQ, USD): plus 2.09 percent, P/E 42.89, market capitalization USD 257.8 billion

Price stays below its yearly high

The market picture is therefore mixed in a precise sense: Qualcomm's valuation multiple is less than half the multiples of Broadcom and Texas Instruments, while its share price remains well below the yearly high. The analyst range is also wide, with Arete at USD 305.00 and the reported consensus at USD 204.10.

Qualcomm's next reported quarterly results were scheduled for November 4, 2026, according to the October 13, 2026 MarketBeat report. The date gives investors the next formal checkpoint for revenue, earnings per share and the company's diversification strategy.
