Summary

Qualcomm reported fiscal third-quarter 2026 revenue of $9.95 billion, down from $10.37 billion a year earlier, as lower QCT handset chipset shipments offset higher automotive and IoT revenue and flat licensing revenue. Qualcomm also recorded a $5.7 billion income tax benefit from releasing a valuation allowance on federal deferred tax assets after IRS Notice 2026-07 allowed it to reduce CAMT by previously capitalized domestic R&D expenditures.

Key points

  • QCT revenue fell to $8.50 billion from $8.99 billion, with handset revenue down to $5.09 billion from $6.33 billion and automotive revenue up to $1.59 billion from $984 million.
  • Research and development expenses rose to $2.61 billion from $2.23 billion, and selling, general and administrative expenses rose to $976 million from $771 million.
  • Investment and other income, net rose to $1.01 billion from $358 million, driven by net gains on marketable securities from initial public offerings of certain QSI equity investments.
  • Qualcomm estimated its annual effective income tax rate for fiscal 2026 to be a 40% benefit, lower than the U.S. federal statutory rate.
