Qualcomm's shift towards AI and automotive markets is underappreciated, with its Snapdragon X2 chipset driving AI PC adoption and automotive growth. The QCT division contributed $10.6B in Q1 FY 2026, driven by demand in IoT and automotive, proving Qualcomm's diversification into high-growth sectors. Qualcomm's Snapdragon X2 offers 80-85 TOPS performance with 24 TOPS per watt, making it a power-efficient leader in AI inference for real-time applications.
Last week, shares of Greece-based tanker operator Top Ships Inc. rallied after the company announced the spin-off of two modern Suezmax tankers into a new company named Rubico. The transaction is likely to unlock some value for TOPS shareholders. Entering a position in Top Ships ahead of the June 16 record date could result in some decent short-term gains.
