Qualcomm reported Q3 adjusted EPS of $2.21, slightly below expectations, with revenue of $9.95 billion, beating estimates but down 4% year-over-year. Net income fell 25% on a GAAP basis, reflecting challenges in memory and supply costs. The company saw 28% growth in automotive and IoT revenue but issued a cautious Q4 profit outlook below analyst forecasts due to rising industry input costs. Qualcomm plans to offset these costs through product pricing to maintain gross margins.
