REUTERS/Dado Ruvic/Illustration/File Photo/File Photo Acquire Licensing RightsSept 11 (Reuters) - Qualcomm (QCOM.O) on Monday said it had signed a new deal with Apple (AAPL.O) to supply 5G chips to the iPhone maker until at least 2026. Qualcomm, whose shares rose more than 8% in premarket trading, is the leading designer of what are known as modem chips that connect phones to mobile data networks. The San Diego, California-based firm previously signed a supply deal with Apple in 2019, after the two companies settled a protracted legal battle. Under the deal announced Monday, Qualcomm said it will supply Apple with chips for phones that will come out each year until 2026. Qualcomm also said that a patent licensing deal it signed with Apple in 2019 remains in place.

Huawei’s feat could mean that Chinese technology has been progressing much faster than previously thought. Before the Bell spoke to Zino about what’s happening and what it means for Wall Street. Huawei’s new smartphone uses an internally developed, very powerful chip that’s manufactured by the Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corporation (SMIC), a partially state-owned Chinese semiconductor foundry. In the long term, this is probably a good thing for the leading semiconductor companies like Nvidia (NVDA) and Qualcomm (QCOM).

Analysts say its new product launches could mark a first step in the company's come-back efforts to rival Apple. "It (Huawei) can manage the psychological expectations of the target consumer group before Apple's press conference," said Ivan Lam, an analyst at Counterpoint. Sino-U.S. friction has worsened in recent years as Washington tries to restrict China's access to key technologies including cutting-edge chip technology, and Beijing looks to reduce its reliance on American tech. The U.S. Commerce Department said late Thursday it's working to obtain more information "on the character and composition" of the new Huawei chip that may violate trade restrictions. White House National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan told reporters on Air Force One the U.S. government is trying to get more information about the Huawei chip.

A customer talks to sales assistants in an Apple store as Apple Inc's new iPhone 14 models go on sale in Beijing, China, September 16, 2022. Apple suppliers and companies with large China exposure including Broadcom (AVGO.O), Qualcomm (QCOM.O) and Texas Instruments (TXN.O) fell between 1.4% and 4.7%. The moves by Beijing also come at a time when Apple is grappling with a decline in iPhone sales, with China being a bright spot in what was an otherwise disappointing quarterly earnings report last month. The sanctions had hammered Huawei's sales in its home country and allowed Apple to take some market share from the national favourite. Apple could, however, see a demand boost after an event next week where it is expected to unveil its iPhone 15 line-up, as well as new smartwatches.

REUTERS/Dado Ruvic/Illustration/File Photo Acquire Licensing RightsSAN FRANCISCO/MUNICH, Sept 5 (Reuters) - U.S. semiconductor company Qualcomm (QCOM.O) on Tuesday said it will supply chips to power in-car infotainment systems to luxury automakers Mercedes (MBGn.DE) and BMW (BMWG.DE). Qualcomm is the leading supplier of the chips used in smartphones, a market that has slumped over the past year. Qualcomm said in a statement it will supply BMW with chips that will help power voice commands inside the car. It also said it will supply chips for the next version of the Mercedes E class models, which will be available in the U.S. in 2024. "One of the things we're very focused on the company is to find new areas for growth... automotive is one of those areas," Amon said.

Aug 29 (Reuters) - Globalstar (GSAT.A) on Tuesday named former Qualcomm (QCOM.O) top boss Paul Jacobs as its CEO, sparking a near 20% surge in the shares of the satellite firm behind Apple's emergency communication services. Jacobs, 60, is also a board member of IPO-bound chip firm Arm and will replace David Kagan, who is retiring after about 5 years as CEO. It will pay XCOM licensing fees including the issuance of about 60 million common stock shares valued at around $64 million. "Some of XCOM's leaders contributed to the original Globalstar system while at Qualcomm." Iridium Comunications (IRDM.O) partnered with Qualcomm earlier in May to develop emergency SOS messaging for Android users, going head-to-head with Apple.

Aug 24 (Reuters) - AI startup Hugging Face said on Thursday it was valued at $4.5 billion in a $235-million funding round backed by technology heavyweights, including Salesforce (CRM.N), Alphabet's (GOOGL.O) Google and Nvidia (NVDA.O). The latest round of funding outlines the rapidly growing adoption of artificial intelligence (AI), which has been hailed by many as the next frontier of technology and has attracted some of the biggest investors in Silicon Valley. Following the launch of OpenAI's popular chatbot ChatGPT, several AI startups like Microsoft-backed (MSFT.O) Inflection AI and Google-backed Runway have raised funds. Intel (INTC.O), Advanced Micro Devices (AMD.O), Qualcomm (QCOM.O), IBM (IBM.N), Amazon (AMZN.O) and Ashton Kutcher-backed venture capital firm Sound Ventures also participated in Hugging Face's latest funding round. "In five years, every tech company will be an AI company," Delangue added.

Virtually all of that revenue comes from Arm China, an independent entity that has the exclusive rights to distribute Arm's technology in the country. That makes Arm China, not better-known names like Apple (AAPL.O) or Qualcomm (QCOM.O), Arm's largest customer. And this customer has a history of late payments and presents "significant risks" to Arm's business, according to its filing. HISTORY OF LATE PAYMENTSArm said in its filings that "in the past, we have received late payments from Arm China and have had to expend company resources to obtain payments from Arm China." In its filing, it said cash from operating activities increased by $281 million in its most recent fiscal year, driven mostly by $713 million in collections from Arm China, though that was partly offset by cash owed to Arm China.

In May, Qualcomm had said it would acquire Israel's Autotalks Ltd, a maker of chips used in crash-prevention technology in vehicles, but had not disclosed the terms of the deal.

Why it matters: “For most of the last two decades, China’s economic growth has been a major driver of the global economy,” said Alex Etra, a strategist at data analytics firm Exante. That means that if China’s economy slows down, global economic growth slows down. ExxonMobil (XOM) may not be doing too much business with China, said Etra, but if Chinese growth slows, that means oil prices go down. Earlier this year, Bank of America compiled a list of the S&P 500 companies with the highest exposure to China. The grand total of all the private wealth in the world fell 2.4% to $454.4 trillion last year, according to the annual Credit Suisse and UBS global wealth report.
