Qualcomms Q1 Outlook Surpasses Estimates on Strong Chinese Smartphone Demand and AI Growth

Due to the rise in Chinese smartphone releases and consumer demand for AIpowered products, Qualcomm has an optimistic prediction for the next fiscal q

Due to the rise in Chinese smartphone releases and consumer demand for AIpowered products, Qualcomm has an optimistic prediction for the next fiscal quarter that is higher than Wall Street had predicted. Over analyst projections, the corporation projects adjusted earnings of $2.95 per share and revenues of $10.90 billion. Qualcomms semiconductor business, anticipated to generate $9.3 billion in revenue, is expected to contribute substantially. Qualcomms high demand in China is helping it, but it faces longterm uncertainty because of Apples move to create its modem chips and ongoing legal issues with Arm over licensing. Nevertheless, Qualcomms position is strengthened by its diversification into AI and data centres and the signing of new contracts, such as with Transsion Holdings. Read More..

South Korea Warns of Increased U.S. Tariffs, Plans to Boost Investments to Offset Impact

Cheong Inkyo, South Koreas trade minister, warned that further U.S. tariffs under a second Trump administration may force South Korean businesses to boost their U.S. investments to counteract the effects. Higher tariffs, Cheong said, might speed up onsite production and direct investment, particularly in the automobile industry, which is already seeing investments from the United States. With a 200% tax on some imported autos and a 10%–20% blanket duty on imports, Trumps planned tariffs may cost South Koreas economy up to $44.8 billion in export revenue, mostly hurting automakers. Though its economic relations with the U.S. are anticipated to be steady despite possible changes, South Korea is willing to participate in trade diplomacy in response. Read More..
