No insider purchase over the last 90 days. The latest was filed 01 Feb 2016.
Qualcomm Inc/de belongs to the Technology sector. Filings by its managers are published through SEC (Form 4). 19 insiders have disclosed 117 filings since 18 October 2025.
No insider bought on the market over the period, while 5 insiders filed 48 sales totalling €7.6M. At €1.8M, the sale published on 25 September 2026 by Amon Cristiano R is the largest of the period (0.0012% of market cap).
Compared with its exchange (5,814 companies, median 19 filings), a count of 117 filings is above the norm. Looking back to 2016, when coverage begins, insiders filed 1 purchase and 117 sales. The 10-K for the year ended 28 September 2025 shows 44.28 bn USD of revenue and 5.54 bn USD of net income and a dividend of 3.48 USD per share.
The median gap between a trade and its publication by SEC (Form 4) is 1 day. For comparison, the SEC allows two business days to file a Form 4. A sale on its own says little: insiders also sell to pay tax, fund a purchase or diversify.
In the same sector, recent insider purchases at Core Scientific, Inc./tx and Gitlab Inc. also feature in our signals. Every figure here comes from the filings published by SEC (Form 4) and describes the past, not future prices; it is not investment advice.

This score ranks the purchase within its own market. A position size is suggested only on the venues of the backtested strategy universe; elsewhere, signals stay on watch. Not investment advice.

Qualcomm Inc/de (ticker QCOM) is a leading semiconductor and wireless technology company listed on the US NASDAQ market in the United States. Founded in 1985, Qualcomm built its reputation on foundational innovations in mobile communications and has played a central role in the evolution of 3G, 4G LTE, and 5G standards. The company is headquartered in San Diego, California, which remains the core hub for research, engineering, and strategic management.
Qualcomm’s business is organized around two highly complementary pillars. First, its chip and platform business designs and sells processors, modems, system-on-chip solutions, RF systems, and integrated software under the Snapdragon brand, alongside offerings for automotive, IoT, PCs, and connected devices. Second, its technology licensing business monetizes a large and strategically important patent portfolio tied to the global mobile ecosystem. This combination of semiconductor design and intellectual property licensing gives Qualcomm a differentiated business model, with revenue streams driven both by device shipments and by royalty-bearing technology adoption.
From a competitive standpoint, Qualcomm holds a strong position in mobile modems and connectivity platforms, with particular relevance in premium smartphones, automotive embedded systems, IoT devices, and edge AI applications. The company is actively broadening its end markets beyond handsets, targeting long-term growth from on-device artificial intelligence, 5G connectivity, and software-defined systems. Its competitive edge is reinforced by deep technical expertise, long-standing relationships with major OEMs, and a patent estate that is difficult and expensive for competitors to replicate.
Key products and services include Snapdragon mobile and PC processors, Snapdragon Digital Chassis solutions for automotive, IoT and edge-compute platforms, and a broad set of connectivity and RF technologies. Recent developments underline the company’s push into edge AI, industrial processors under the Dragonwing name, on-premises enterprise AI appliances, and further expansion in automotive and industrial IoT. In 2025 and early 2026, Qualcomm highlighted new partnerships across automotive, enterprise AI, and industrial IoT, signaling continued diversification beyond its core mobile franchise.
For investors, Qualcomm remains a major US technology stock with exposure to semiconductor cycle volatility, but supported by durable growth engines in mobility, connected devices, AI at the edge, and global wireless infrastructure. Its scale, intellectual property strength, and diversification strategy make it one of the more strategically important names in the US semiconductor universe.
