Make your own forecastAbout Qualcomm
Qualcomm, founded in 1985 and based in San Diego, California, designs chips and develops wireless technologies. Its Snapdragon processors combine CPU, graphics, AI acceleration and modem functions and power many Android smartphones. The chip business (QCT) also serves automotive customers with digital cockpit and driver-assistance platforms, and it addresses PCs, the Internet of Things and networking. Manufacturing is outsourced to foundries such as TSMC and Samsung.
The second pillar is technology licensing (QTL): Qualcomm holds a large portfolio of patents essential to 3G, 4G and 5G standards and collects royalties from handset makers. Topics that move the shares include smartphone demand, the gradual loss of Apple's modem business as Apple develops its own, diversification into cars and AI PCs, and exposure to China. Qualcomm trades on the Nasdaq under the ticker QCOM and is included in the Nasdaq-100 and the S&P 500.
The current price of Qualcomm stock is $173.47 (−0.81% vs. the previous close). In today's trading the high was $174.17 and the low $171.23.
How the Quantum Forecast works
Research from quantum physics. The models are the result of several years of research at the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics and LMU Munich and were transferred to the stock market.
Spectra and correlations. Frequency spectra are calculated from current prices, and the relationships between price swings and volatility are analyzed. This produces the forecast and the risk assessment.
Detecting herd behavior. Models of phase transitions from statistical physics describe when investors collectively fall into panic or euphoria – an early sign of possible crash situations.
Swarm intelligence. User forecasts are checked once their time frame has expired and feed into the model, weighted by their hit rate.
