Thread regarding Qualcomm Inc. layoffs

It should be called All-Hands Masturbation

QCT is screwed because Apple has most of premium (premium is just modem), Mediatek has all of low end (Cristiano missed that transition years ago), and mid-tier will be gone as soon as Mediatek gets to the right cost structure (nobody in China wants QCT chips). QTL is screwed because it does not generate any new patents that can refresh the portfolio (Corporate R&D is a joke). Growth businesses won't come close to filling the revenue/margin holes caused by QCT and QTL every quarter.

The whole year is down the toilet. Continuing to do the same thing next year (essentially we are great, the market is wrong, work hard) and expecting different results is called insanity.

You are right QTL revenue is proportional to Corp R&Ds effectiveness and sense of urgency roughly 3 yrs ago. So even a complete re-haul today would require at least 36 months before it would positively impact the financial shape of the company. Also add to the fact that nobody in Asia wants to pay royalties, we are counting the days before licenses are renegotiated further reducing QTL revenue. The writing is on the wall and the market is starting to wake up. Hence the large haircut in share price this week. Execs only care about their compensation and separation packages. Nobody is in charge. I know how these stories end.
