Last Earnings Call
Q3 2026 · 29 Jul 2026Qualcomm’s Q3 2026 earnings were a mix of a revenue beat and an earnings miss. The company reported revenue of $9.95 billion, beating the analyst consensus of approximately $9.67 billion–$9.71 billion. However, non-GAAP EPS of $2.21 missed the consensus estimate of $2.22.
Management highlighted record automotive revenue ($1.6 billion, +61% YoY) and solid growth in IoT. However, financial performance was pressured by a 20% decline in handset revenue due to memory supply constraints. Qualcomm raised its fiscal 2029 non-handset revenue target to $40 billion and expects growth in this segment to exceed 60% in fiscal 2027. Management also warned of an accelerated decline in Apple modem revenue, which is expected to drop significantly in the December quarter as Qualcomm’s share of upcoming iPhone launches falls materially below its prior 20% forecast.
Market Reaction
Qualcomm shares fell nearly 6% to 8% in after-hours trading on July 29, 2026. Analysts cited the earnings miss, weak Q4 guidance, persistent memory supply constraints, and the accelerated decline in Apple-related revenue as the primary drivers for the negative market sentiment.
