Why Qualcomm Stock Is Up Today
Qualcomm shares rose 8.7% following a partnership announcement with Amazon to develop custom AI chips for AWS data centers. Amazon also obtained a warrant to purchase up to 25 million Qualcomm shares at $161.26 per share, contingent on up to $60 billion in chip orders. The deal positions Qualcomm to capitalize on the AI data center buildout as smartphone market growth slows.
