Qualcomm's Magic Formula score of 30.9, though lower than 2023, still indicates strong returns on invested capital and earnings yield.
Qualcomm posted $10.2 billion in Q4 revenue (+18% YoY) with 35% YoY EPS growth. Record $899 million in automotive revenue (+68% YoY), driven by new vehicle content and AI platforms. IoT revenues grew 24% sequentially, powered by new product launches and normalized channel inventory.

The company forecasts a "mid-single-digit growth" in QCT Handset revenue (60% of total revenue in 4Q), despite the absence of Huawei revenue in its 1Q FY2025 guidance.
