What the analyst said

Bernstein SocGen Group analyst Stacy Rasgon reiterated a Market Perform rating and $165 price target on Qualcomm (NASDAQ: QCOM).

“This morning Qualcomm announced a ‘multi-generational product collaboration with Amazon’ to build next-gen AI datacenter infrastructure including customized silicon for inference and optical connectivity solutions, and will deepen their own use of AWS AI infrastructure.

In a subsequent 8K Qualcomm also announced a 25M warrant grant to Amazon.

The warrants have an exercise price of $161.26/share (so already in the money as of Friday’s close) and will vest in tranches tied to meeting conditions including product and services purchases by Amazon, up to a maximum of $60B over the next 10 years (the warrants expire Sept 2036).”
