Hyrule Hears Bullish Buzz: JPMorgan Says 'Look Listen!' to Qualcomm

A Fairytale Beginning... of an Upgrade!

Greetings brave readers! Princess Zelda here reporting live from Hyrule... okay fine from my magically secure study. News has reached my ears – news so exciting it could wake a sleeping Snorlax! JPMorgan who apparently had their 'not rated' mask on (much like Link after a potion mishap) has now bestowed an 'overweight' rating upon Qualcomm! Yes you heard right! It's like Ganon finally deciding to give up evil... almost.

Why 'Overweight'? Is Qualcomm Eating Too Many Fairies?

Before you start imagining Qualcomm executives feasting on fairies (they probably prefer Goron spice anyway) let's delve into the details. Analyst Samik Chatterjee (sounds like a character from a side quest doesn't it?) sees a 25.3% potential upside from Monday's close. That's enough rupees to buy a lifetime supply of blue potions! Apparently there are some short term jitters about smartphone demand. Chatterjee mentioned "near term concerns around the pull forward of smartphone demand". It's like when you pull the Master Sword too early and it zaps you with lightning. Ouch!

Beyond the Triforce: Diversification is Key!

But fear not loyal investors! JPMorgan isn't just whistling a sad tune. They believe Qualcomm is on the right track by diversifying beyond smartphones. Think of it as Link learning new skills beyond sword fighting – mastering the bow the hookshot even... *shudders*... fishing! Their ventures into the Internet of Things (IoT) and autos are like finding hidden heart containers – boosting their overall health and resilience!

Nuvia: The Secret Ingredient or Just Another Cucco?

Adding to the excitement Qualcomm's 2021 acquisition of Nuvia a chip design startup is like discovering a powerful ancient artifact! It suggests they're considering venturing into data centers which could be a game changer. But let's hope it doesn't turn out to be just another Cucco... because those things are relentless when angered.

A Link to the Future: PCs IoT and Autos Oh My!

Chatterjee emphasizes the long term opportunity for a re rating driven by this diversification. He sees PCs IoT and Autos becoming significantly more important to Qualcomm's revenue by the end of the decade. It’s like Link finally collecting all the Triforce pieces – a complete and powerful force to be reckoned with!

Shares Down? Don't Panic! It's Just a Minor Setback

Now for a slight bummer: Qualcomm shares are down 3.9% in 2025. But don't lose hope! Even the Hero of Time stumbles sometimes. This could be a perfect opportunity to swoop in and grab some shares before they soar higher than Epona on a sugar rush! Remember patience courage and wisdom!
