Qualcomm (QCOM) has reported in with its financial earnings for Q2 2024. The tech company managed to beat Wall Street's revenue expectations, albeit narrowly. Qualcomm reported in with a quarterly revenue of $9.39 billion USD, which is just slightly higher than the $9.30 billion estimate from Wall Street analysts.
"We are pleased to report strong quarterly results, with EPS exceeding the high end of our guidance," Qualcomm President and CEO Cristiano Amon said in the Q2 2024 earnings report. "We are excited about our continued growth and diversification, including achieving our third consecutive quarter of record QCT Automotive revenues, upcoming launches with our Snapdragon X platforms, and enabling leading on-device AI capabilities across multiple product categories."
As part of its earnings presentation, Qualcomm is touting the success of its handheld revenue, which made up $6.2 billion of the company's quarterly numbers. The company notes that the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip-powered devices are in high demand around the world, but more specifically in China. Revenue from the automotive department is also expected to grow with a roughly $4 billion revenue figure expected in FY 2026.
Qualcomm (QCOM) finished the trading day down $1.74 per share, but has bounced back in after-hours trading.
