AI;DR

Qualcomm's stock fell over 10% after its fourth-quarter handset chip revenue dropped 26% to $5.14B, despite overall adjusted revenue of $10.44B and earnings of $2.17 per share. The company reported an 89% increase in automotive revenue to $1.99B and projected first-quarter data center sales above $650M, citing supply constraints as a limit on data center growth. Qualcomm also noted that baseline gross margins are expected to return to the 48% to 50% range once pending price increases are implemented.
