These cutting-edge products and services have been developed to provide ground-breaking coverage to 5G-enabled connected devices.

The acquisition of such highly sought-after contracts is expected to increase the company’s total revenue.

Compared to the 15.9% loss seen across the industry over the last year, this stock’s price is down 11.1%. The company QUALCOMM Incorporated (NASDAQ:QCOM) is now ranked third by Zacks (Hold).
