Topics regarding layoffs at Qualcomm Inc.

Should I sell?

I voted with my feet but I still have some stock (wouldn't buy this shxttastic stock in the retail market and neither should you). I think QCOM will slowly dip into the early 50s dodge a few more takeover attempts by buying politicians but eventually... — read more

Of course the cuts are still on!

The executive made an unambiguous promise to shareholders to deliver at least $6.75 EPS in 2019. Shareholders have already shown that they are willing to vote against management unless things improve. If QC doesn't deliver at least close to its... — read more

Layoff and hiring freeze

If the layoffs do happen for the purpose of cost cutting, does that mean the current hiring freeze will continue and they won't be hiring anytime soon? specially in non san diego locations.

More or fewer layoffs?

Just wondering, do people here think we would have had more layoffs had Broadcom managed to take over or if we'll have more layoffs now that we are again "safe" but in the same mess we were in before the whole takeover saga started? I personally... — read more

Not as bad as I thought

Frankly, looking at Qualcomm stock price right now, it's far from what I expected. The drop is significantly lower. It's lower than what some analysts predicted it would be as well. Five percent is more than bearable. For as long as it doesn't get... — read more

Chinese propaganda

China will never allow nxp deal. Qcom will lose all china market in result of retaliation. License and sales all fall together. Apple will jump on to m&a trial to pick only 5g part and dissolve all others to kill android eventually.

No more cost cutting?

It seems to me that cost cutting is no longer necessary now given the situation ? What would be the reason to lower cost?

Licensing

Who makes the money??? Licensing... The entire reason why our licensing is able to 'PRINT' money for us is because of governments around the world gave us monopolies (supported by IP laws and regulations). JANA, Broadcom and others know this very... — read more

Only under-performers are happy about this

I see a lot of people happy about this. If you are in one of the few parts of Qualcomm that are actually profitable, you really shouldn't be happy right now. Broadcom would have been good for Qualcomm. Broadcom is known for cutting the... — read more

Qualcomm promised $7.50 EPS next year.

Can this be trusted or just a magic number. If Magic number, how can I trust Qualcomm is not cooking gits financial books i.e when was a audit done last?
