I believe management has been looking for the "end game" for years. How to sell or merge the company before the royalty stream unravels. I bet they talked with Broadcom because they are getting nowhere with NXP. TSMC probably wasn't interested in a... — read more

All Hail Hock E. Tan
Bow to our new savior and overlord, the Mighty Hock!
Alert
Even if they buy us, it won't fix our problem. They will need to cut at least half on our side and cut their side as well to stay just above the water. In long run they won't even need applucation processor. This one is so narrow margin not worth it... — read more
Broadcom solution
Q is in a steep decline for 3 years and with an incompetent management. The current corruptive politics would get tamed only by an external force. If you are an experienced hands-on engineer with valuable technical skills, what would you loose with... — read more

Wtf
While they were saying in all hnds that qcom is doing good, and qcom is on high ground, they were trying to sell this behind? So f---ed up man. so disappointing. Bye and go to hell.
Bcom offer not unsolicited

The amount of money this company pumped in marketing is ridiculous and disgusting
You can't go ANYWHERE in this forsaken city without Qualcomm's disgusting name skapped on everything. Want to go to the mall? Rent a Deco bike? Visit Seaport Village? Drive on the 8 Freeway? Watch television only to see a terrible commercial of... — read more
When will SM leave?
Anyone know? He has to wait for the NXP acquisition? It is too bad he is still the CEO.
Today is the day!!
Today QCOM will touch 70 after earnings as QCOM will announce a new SRP plan. All naysayers will run away and hide their faces. All those who didnt sell their RSUs and ESPP will rejoice. Big fat a$$es of QCOM will see their net worth going up by 40%... — read more
How will layoffs affect the SD housing market?
If you are laid off, will you sell your home and move to the Bay Area?
Huge lay off in early 2018. Now just a minor lay off.
Qualcomm is a part of history by end of 2018. Agree?

Intel is doing great and QC -------> to the drain
Our management is so bad, just look at Intel doing not great but excellent, making money, giving away bonus, hiring people etc QC removing the sodas, limiting travel, changing toilet paper. Realistically QC is ending soon.

Per NXP CEO today..... What does this mean? I’m not sure if I should be concerned or not. Please advise financial gurus

So get ready for big job cuts in San Diego and bay area; so what is the justification of keeping and bringing over H1Bs when Americans are being laid off at QC?
