Qualcomm's non-handset growth surges, raising long-term targets amid undervalued stock price.

Qualcomm reported a 61% growth in its automotive segment and raised its long-term non-handset revenue target to $40 billion by fiscal 2029. Despite these strong growth indicators and a data center business aiming for $15 billion by 2029, the market still values Qualcomm primarily as a smartphone chip maker, keeping its stock undervalued. The company’s fiscal Q3 2026 revenue beat estimates, driven by non-handset segments, although handset sales declined. Investors see potential for significant upside if Qualcomm successfully scales its data center and automotive businesses, with a 12-month price target of $228.68 implying a 16.27% gain from current levels. Risks include reduced modem share in upcoming iPhones and margin pressures, but management is taking steps to stabilize profitability.

Qualcomm shares rose 3.92% to USD 201.87 on Pluang as of Sep 28, 2026 00:11 WIB, showing strong market interest despite a high sell order activity of 88%. The stock's market cap stands at $215.72 billion, reflecting its significant presence in the technology sector. This price movement coincides with the company's reported growth in automotive and data center segments, which the market may still be undervaluing.
