Richard Windsor argues that data centre revenue is the “elephant in the room” the market is ignoring, with substantial contributions now expected in FY27 rather than FY28. He estimates QCOM’s A200/A250 products could add ~$2bn in incremental data centre revenue, with potential upside if a hyperscaler deal closes soon. Combined with stronger PC growth (he views current forecasts as far too low) and upside optionality from its BMW-linked ADAS stack, QCOM’s diversification beyond smartphones is ahead of schedule. Q4 results beat across all metrics, but the real story is the growth visibility emerging in new segments. With Street EPS forecasts for FY26-27 still overly conservative and the stock trading at ~14x 2026 P/E, it’s easy to see how both multiple expansion and upward estimate revisions could drive a strong rally in the shares.
