  "account": "On November 9, 2026, Heather S. Ace, Executive Vice President and Chief HR Officer at Qualcomm Inc., transferred 3,200 shares of the company's common stock. The sale occurred at a price of $165.42 per share, resulting in a total value of $529,344. Since the transaction, the stock has increased in value to $171.47, leading analysts to believe that Qualcomm might be undervalued according to InvestingPro's Fair Value estimates. The sale was conducted in accordance with a pre-established Rule 10b5-1 trading plan, which was established by Ms. Ace on September 11, 2025. As a result of this sale, Ms. Ace's indirect beneficial ownership in Qualcomm common stock is now at 39,379 shares. These shares are owned by her family trust, managed by her and her spouse, with the beneficiaries being members of her immediate family. Currently, Qualcomm trades at a price-to-earnings ratio of 13.69 and offers a dividend yield of 2.22%. For investors seeking a more in-depth analysis of Qualcomm's valuation, the Pro Research Report on the company is available on InvestingPro, along with similar reports on over 1,400 other US equities. In other recent news, Qualcomm reported its fiscal fourth-quarter 2026 earnings, achieving non-GAAP earnings per share of $2.17, which met Wall Street's expectations. The company's revenue for the quarter was $10.44 billion, exceeding estimates by about 2.96%. Looking forward, Qualcomm has projected revenue for its fiscal first-quarter 2027 to be 5% above expectations, while earnings remain consistent with consensus forecasts. However, analyst ratings for Qualcomm are mixed. Freedom Broker recently downgraded the company from a Buy to a Hold, citing concerns about sustained margin pressures due to Qualcomm's transition towards new growth areas. Susquehanna also reduced its price target for Qualcomm to $165, keeping a Neutral rating, attributing this to challenges in the mobile business and margin pressure from AI data center revenue. Similarly, Piper Sandler maintained a Neutral rating with a price target of $190, following Qualcomm's latest earnings release. Lastly, Baird lowered its price target to $320, maintaining an Outperform rating, highlighting ongoing efforts in revenue diversification.
