What is Qualcomm's future?

What scares me the most is, even after the layoffs and cost cutting, Q will continue losing market share and get squeezed in margins.

Has anybody heard anything from senior management about what they plan to counter that? Have they ever articulated how they will prevent further erosion in margings and market share?

I see a lot of actions taken to cut costs through layoffs and prop up stock price through buybacks, but neither will help the company grow again.

I don't see much investment in new technologies. There are some acquisitions where Q has a really bad track record.

Has Google announced any Android Robot or Android Drone platform? If so, there goes the margins on the adjacent markets before they even ramp. SDK this SDK that, Google is the one with the big Android Bat

Agreed, this place needs to run leaner. Facebook is an excellent example of high revenue/profit vs. low opex. Finance runs lean, lots of CSS needs to thin out

花無百日香 Good things won't last forever.

Q is done. Unless their BoD and execs start slashing their own ridiculous incentives. Employees often turn a blind eye to this looting until people start loosing jobs. Q management has been utterly useless from the start. Irwin Jacobs was little more than a garage startup that got lucky and good advice from his Jewish lawyer friends.

sorry but anyone who works at Q already heard a million times what Q plans to do. obviously you don't work here. but I agree, the future will be tough.

this company needs to run leaner now that the high growth, high profit times are behind us

The best time of Q has already passed. It won't die immediately, it will just going down and down slowly. The stock price will tell you.
