Qualcomm Inc (QCOM) Company Profile

GoodMoat Analysis

Based on data as of March 26, 2026

Qualcomm is a dominant designer of wireless chips and a key patent holder for mobile technology, giving it a potentially durable competitive moat. However, its valuation appears full relative to its current growth rate, and it faces significant customer concentration and competitive risks that require close monitoring.

Read full analysis
Qualcomm Inc. operates two main businesses: it designs and licenses the fundamental technology for cellular networks (its QTL licensing segment) and it designs and sells semiconductors, primarily for smartphones (its QCT segment). Its customers are essentially every major smartphone maker, like Apple and Samsung, as well as makers of connected cars, IoT devices, and networking gear. Its primary moat, as per Section 1 of the framework, stems from its Technology Leadership (#9) as a foundational patent holder for 3G, 4G, and 5G, and its Strategic Partnerships (#7) with device makers. However, it scores lower on criteria like Network Effects and Low Disruption Risk (#14), as its core mobile market is mature and faces intense competition from giants like Apple designing its own chips. Key risks from Section 5 include High Customer Concentration (#1), as a few large smartphone makers drive most revenue, and Competitive Erosion (#8) from in-house chip design trends. A value investor might be interested in its strong profitability (ROE of 25.3% and FCF Yield of 9.2%) and its entrenched patent position. Yet, the current P/E of 26x appears elevated for a company with only 5.0% YoY revenue growth, suggesting the valuation is full and requires perfect execution to justify. Analysis based on data as of 2024-05-15.
