Qualcomm is best known for the chips and modems inside Android phones. But in recent years, it's also started selling a package of hardware chips, sensors and software called Snapdragon Digital Chassis to automakers like GM , Hyundai and Volvo. It reported $1.32 billion in sales in its fiscal 2022, or about 3% of the company’s overall sales. Qualcomm makes between $200 and $3,000 per car that use its chips and software, officials said last fall at an investor event. Qualcomm faces stiff competition from other chipmakers in the car chip business.

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.

South Korean giant Samsung Electronics has an edge over other semiconductor companies, according to Hannah Gooch-Peters of asset management firm Sanlam Investments UK. Semiconductor firms have "to massively invest," Gooch-Peters said. Samsung produces dynamic random access memory chips and NAND chips. And you know … if you've got generative AI you need these memory chips to be able to use it," she added. It also has its very stable smartphone business, Gooch-Peters said.

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. Autotalks, which makes dedicated chips used in the V2X communications technology sector for manned and driverless vehicles, would help Qualcomm expand its automotive-related business.

A smartphone with a displayed Arm Ltd logo is placed on a computer motherboard in this illustration taken March 6, 2023. The billionaire also said he has spent months creating hundreds of inventions with AI-powered ChatGPT that he believes can be realised through Arm. Analysts also caution that Arm does not sit at the centre of the AI boom but is more AI-adjacent. Nvidia has developed a "superchip" for use in data centres - the GH200, which contains CPUs based on Arm architecture. Many SoftBank portfolio companies will embrace and apply generative AI but that does not make them AI companies," said Victor Galliano of Galliano's Latin Notes, who publishes on Smartkarma.

Arm, the chip designer owned by Japan's SoftBank, filed for a Nasdaq listing on Monday, positioning itself to go public during a historically slow period for tech IPOs. Arm's 2023 revenue was slightly down from the company's 2022 sales of $2.7 billion. Arm chips are made by companies including Amazon, Alphabet, AMD, Intel, Nvidia, Qualcomm, and Samsung, according to the filing. Arm said that its technology was included in over 30 billion chips shipped in its fiscal 2023. SoftBank originally sought to sell Arm to chip giant Nvidia , but the deal faced major pushback from regulators, who raised concerns over competition and national security.

Rosenblatt is calling out its favorite networking and semiconductor stocks as the "age of AI gold rush" kicks into high gear. That's creating an attractive setup for what Rosenblatt views as the "picks and shovels" in the networking and semiconductor industries. "Most large enterprises want to train and run large AI applications in the Cloud, but only a small portion of existing Cloud infrastructure can support it." Beyond the pure-play semiconductor names tied to AI, Rosenblatt is placing its bets on Coherent . Ambarella is another beneficiary of the growing need for to handle sophisticated AI models, down about 17% this year.

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.

Beijing’s trustbusters are providing a helpful escape route from the intensifying technology trade war.

REUTERS/Dado Ruvic/IllustrationAug 3 (Reuters) - Qualcomm (QCOM.O) tumbled nearly 9% on Thursday after a gloomy forecast signalled more pain for the largest maker of smartphone chips from the ongoing slump in the consumer electronics market. The stock has risen 19% this year, but has underperformed the broader chip industry (.SOX) on worries about smartphone demand. The company disappointed investors on Wednesday with a current-quarter revenue forecast that was below market estimates, as well as adjusted sales that missed expectations. "Huawei headwinds are new (and larger than we would have thought), and (Qualcomm) stock is admittedly un-sexy," Bernstein analyst Stacy Rasgon said. Qualcomm has a 12-month forward price-to-earnings ratio of 14.05, much lower than Nvidia's (NVDA.O) 43.94 and the industry median of 20.51.
