Qualcomm has underperformed the semiconductor sector with only a 16% return over five years compared to SOXX's 227%, mainly due to its reliance on handsets. However, the company is aggressively diversifying into AI, automotive, and robotics, aiming for $40 billion in non-handset revenue and over $18 EPS by fiscal year 2029. Investors should expect challenges in 2026-2027, including loss of Apple revenue and margin pressures, but growth is projected to resume in 2028 driven by wins with hyperscalers and AI accelerators. The stock is rated a 'Strong Buy' with a $360 per share target for FY 2029.
