Preliminary results from Samsung combined with TSMC’s monthly revenue disclosure gives Richard Windsor increased confidence that the inventory correction has come to an end. Of all the component suppliers, QCOM is now trading at the bottom of its peer group in terms of PER ratio which demonstrates just how short-term the market thinks. There is no end in sight to its sales of 5G modems to Apple, it is winning enough deals in automotive to seriously disturb Mobileye and it is very well positioned for the Metaverse when or if it takes off. From a long-term valuation perspective, the shares are on sale.
