Qualcomm leaves record highs

<p><a href="https://www.hotforex.com/sv/en/trading-products/single-product.html?symbol=%23QUALCOMM&amp;type=stock"><strong>Qualcomm</strong> </a>is an American company that develops and licenses wireless technology and also designs chips for smartphones. Its key patents revolve around CDMA and OFDMA technologies, which are standards in wireless communications and the backbone of all technologies such as 3G and 4G networks; it is also the world’s largest wireless chip provider supplying state-of-the-art processors to many top-tier phone manufacturers and poised to be a leader in 5G networking technology.</p>
<p>Qualcomm has positioned itself as an investment opportunity in recent days, due to the fact that it obtained a Price to Earnings Ratio (P/E)above its average ratio recorded <strong>32.50</strong> times in terms of its current P/E, and in addition, the beta value of 36-month is at <strong>1.34.</strong> On the other hand, the company’s shares have risen <strong>0.78%</strong> so far this week, with a monthly jump of <strong>16.40%</strong> and a quarterly return of <strong>23.57%</strong> while its annual rate of return touched <strong>15%,</strong> when the volatility index for the week stands at <strong>2.77%.</strong></p>
<p>Similarly, the dividend payment in effect is expected at <strong>$0.65</strong> per share on <strong>December 17</strong> of the current year, while the last sale of <a href="https://www.hotforex.com/sv/en/trading-products/single-product.html?symbol=QCOM"><strong>Qualcomm</strong> </a>on the previous trading day was <strong>$147.17,</strong> representing a decrease of <strong>-4.20%</strong> from the 52-week high of <strong>$143.33</strong> and an increase of <strong>153.74%</strong> over the 52-week low of <strong>$58.</strong></p>
<p>During the period of the last 52 weeks, <strong>Qualcomm</strong> failed to recover from a stumble in the market, which made it settle for a –4.02% loss for the given period, maintaining volatility at 2.96%. However, during the last 50 days the stock is currently trading <strong>+32.96%</strong> higher since, during the last trading sessions, <strong>Qualcomm</strong> increased by <strong>+0.78%</strong> from the modification of the moving average for the 200-day period by <strong>+64.25%</strong> compared to the 20-day moving average that was settled at <strong>$142.53.</strong></p>
<p>The reason Qualcomm shares rose 2.9% to <strong>$151.49</strong> was the announcement of a new flagship chip for smartphones called Snapdragon 888, which will feature improved gaming and photography capabilities. The 5G chip will be manufactured by the manufacturing division chipset from Samsung Electronics and represents the top of <strong>Qualcomm’s</strong> line of mobile phone processors,<strong> a new generation of phones expected in the first quarter of 2021</strong>.</p>
