BUZZ · Weight increase · 2d

The weight for QCOM in BUZZ registered a distinct increase to 0.63% on July 16, following a small prior uptick from 0.54% to 0.55%. This specific upward adjustment reflects BUZZ's algorithmic sentiment tracking strategy, which analyzes social media and news for positive sentiment intensity. QCOM's recent 30-day price decline of 29.2%, bringing its current price to $171.78 and placing it at 68% of its 52-week high, likely prompted discussions of value or "buy the dip" sentiment among the retail crowd. This shift in sentiment, potentially bolstered by QCOM's 40.19% return on equity, was likely identified by the ETF’s NLP method and incorporated into its monthly index reconstitution, leading to the higher allocation.

BUZZ · Weight decrease · 2d

The weight of QCOM in BUZZ shows a series of subtle reductions from July 10th to 14th, shifting from 0.57% down to 0.54%. This gradual decrease in allocation aligns directly with QCOM's recent price action, specifically its 30-day return registering a -26.1% decline. As an algorithmic sentiment tracker monitoring social media, blogs, and news, BUZZ's NLP likely detected a corresponding dip in positive online discussions and interest surrounding the company following this share price depreciation. The fund’s nature as a barometer for retail-crowd sentiment, coupled with its monthly index reconstitution, explains the measured, consecutive adjustment rather than an abrupt shift in response to the changing sentiment.

BUZZ · Weight increase · 2d

QCOM exhibits a PER of 18.65 and PBR of 8.37, paired with revenue growth of 5.21% and a substantial ROE of 40.19%, figures that likely contribute to positive discussions and a favorable view across social media, blogs, and news sources, which BUZZ's NLP methodology monitors. The observed consecutive weight increase from 0.53% on July 2nd to 0.56% on July 7th within BUZZ's holdings for QCOM coincides with the stock trading at $186.56, significantly down by 25.0% over the last 30 days and currently at 74% of its 52-week high. This re-engagement by the sentiment-driven index, reflecting a surge in positive commentary following QCOM's recent price depreciation, aligns with BUZZ's mandate as an algorithmic sentiment tracker capturing retail-crowd signals rather than an actively managed fund making discretionary investment decisions.

BUZZ · Weight decrease · 3d

QCOM currently holds a P/E of 18.65, a P/B of 8.37, revenue growth of 5.21%, and a return on equity of 40.19%, financial metrics that provide a fundamental context for its market valuation. However, BUZZ's methodology, which uses NLP to track positive sentiment intensity across social media, blogs, and news, directly responds to changes in public perception rather than these financial figures themselves. The detected consecutive weight decrease, moving from 0.6500% to 0.5400% with a brief interruption, occurred throughout late June 2026, coinciding with QCOM’s -7.0% 30-day return, positioning the stock at 72% of its 52-week high after a significant +29.6% gain over 90 days. This shift suggests that the algorithmic sentiment tracker detected a cooling in online positive sentiment intensity for QCOM, possibly due to the recent price decline tempering the enthusiasm from its preceding strong run, which directly influences BUZZ's monthly index rebalancing. Consequently, the ETF, known for tracking retail-crowd signals, registered a sustained, if not uniformly monotonic, reduction in QCOM's perceived positive momentum within its monitored data sources.

BUZZ · Weight decrease · 2d

QUALCOMM (QCOM) currently trades at $184.79, positioning it at 74% of its 52-week high after a 9.3% negative return over the last 30 days, though it posted a 29.3% gain over 90 days. BUZZ, an algorithmic sentiment tracker leveraging NLP on social media and news, registered a consistent decline in positive sentiment intensity for QCOM, reflected in its portfolio weight decreasing from 0.99% to 0.56% between June 17th and June 29th, with only a minor rebound on June 25th before continuing its downward trend. This pattern suggests the retail crowd’s signal, which BUZZ passively tracks through monthly index rebalancing, has cooled significantly following the recent price dip. The fund's methodology strictly follows these sentiment shifts, rather than traditional financial metrics like QCOM’s 20.8 PER or 40.19% ROE, leading to the observed systematic reduction in its QCOM allocation.

BUZZ · Weight decrease · 4d

The BUZZ NextGen AI US Sentiment Leaders Index, which guides this ETF's holdings, initiated a consecutive weight reduction for Qualcomm due to a detected decline in positive sentiment intensity across public discourse. This algorithmic sentiment tracker, relying on NLP over social media, blogs, and news, would have registered a weakening collective 'buzz' around QCOM, leading to its lower ranking among the approximately 75 US large/mid cap holdings. The consistent decrease from 1.00% to 0.60% across the reported days likely reflects the index's re-evaluation of QCOM's standing, which could have been influenced by its 30-day return registering a -3.9% decline. This adjustment precedes the full monthly index reconstitution, indicating a clear shift in sentiment captured by the fund's methodology.

BUZZ · Weight decrease · 3d

QCOM’s allocation within BUZZ exhibited a distinct pattern, beginning with a minor dip, followed by a substantial drop from 0.99% to 0.65% on June 18th, and then persistent incremental reductions. This specific deceleration in weight directly reflects BUZZ’s method of tracking positive sentiment intensity across social media and news sources. The stock’s recent 30-day return of -6.1%, coming after a significant 40.3% climb over 90 days, likely cooled the enthusiasm of the retail-crowd signals that drive the ETF’s rankings. Consequently, the NLP system detected a sustained weakening in QCOM’s positive social buzz, leading to its consecutive downtrend in portfolio weighting.

BUZZ · Weight decrease · 2d

Qualcomm's financial profile, including a 40.19% ROE and 5.21% revenue growth, is not the direct input for the BUZZ NextGen AI US Sentiment Leaders Index, which instead ranks stocks based on positive sentiment intensity derived from social media and news. The consecutive decrease in QCOM's weight in BUZZ, observed from 1.00% down to 0.64% between June 16 and June 22, coincides with a period contributing to the stock's recent 30-day return of -14.1%. This decline in weight reflects a fading positive-sentiment intensity captured by VanEck’s NLP algorithms, suggesting a shift in retail crowd perception as the price moved away from its 52-week high of $251.02. As an algorithmic sentiment tracker rebalancing monthly, BUZZ passively adjusted QCOM's allocation as the stock's positive sentiment ranking deteriorated, rather than through active fundamental analysis.

QRFT · Weight decrease · 5d

Qraft Technologies’ AI-driven method, which blends traditional factors with proprietary alternative data overlays, appears to have triggered a systematic reduction in its QCOM holding, reflected in its consecutive daily weight adjustments despite a weekly rebalance schedule. The AI's consistent signal to trim QCOM's allocation, a constituent within QRFT's ~300 US large-cap portfolio, coincides with the stock's recent 30-day return of -13.0%. This suggests the AI detected a weakening in short-term momentum or a negative shift in alternative data signals regarding QUALCOMM, currently priced at $176.25 and 70% of its 52-week high, prompting a tactical de-risking within its broad large-cap core strategy.

QRFT · Weight decrease · 4d

The gradual, consecutive weight decrease in QCOM from 0.44% to 0.41% over several trading days indicates a measured adjustment by QRFT's AI. This methodical reduction is consistent with the ETF's strategy of combining traditional factors with proprietary alternative-data overlays, particularly as QCOM has experienced a 13.0% decline in its 30-day return, settling at $176.25. Given QRFT's weekly rebalance schedule and broad large-cap core style, the system is likely responding to this short-term price pressure, incrementally de-weighting the stock. The AI's model, despite QCOM's 40.19% return on equity, appears to be re-evaluating the stock's near-term prospects in light of recent market movements, prioritizing a consistent portfolio allocation within its ~300-stock universe.

QRFT · Weight decrease · 3d

QUALCOMM's current price of $184.79 places it at 74% of its 52-week high, following a -9.3% return over the last 30 days despite positive longer-term performance. Qraft AI, managing QRFT with its blend of traditional factors like momentum and proprietary alternative data, likely interpreted this recent short-term decline as a signal to reduce exposure. The consistent decrease in QCOM's weight, from 0.5100% to 0.4200% during QRFT's weekly rebalances, specifically reflects the AI's response to the stock's price trajectory. This action suggests the AI's model prioritizes recent market dynamics, potentially weighing the -9.3% 30-day return and a PER of 20.8 and PBR of 8.37 more heavily than its 40.19% ROE, within this broad large-cap core fund.

QCOM, currently priced at $188.72, sits at 75% of its 52-week high, having experienced a 6.3% decline over the last 30 days despite a 33.6% gain in the preceding 90 days. This recent short-term negative momentum, observed after a period of significant appreciation, likely triggered the Qraft AI’s momentum and proprietary alternative-data overlays used in the QRFT strategy. Despite QCOM reporting a 40.19% ROE and 5.21% revenue growth, its PER of 20.8 and PBR of 8.37 suggest a valuation that the AI, combining traditional factors with its unique data, might deem less attractive given the recent price trajectory. Consequently, QRFT's weekly rebalancing began decreasing QCOM's weight from 0.5100% on June 18th, culminating in consecutive reductions to 0.4300% by June 29th, as the fund adjusted its exposure within its diversified large-cap core.

QUALCOMM stock sits at $197.41, 79% of its 52-week high, after experiencing a -6.1% 30-day return following a +40.3% surge over 90 days. This recent price trajectory likely influenced QRFT's weekly rebalancing decision regarding the Information Technology sector component. The Qraft AI, integrating traditional factors like momentum and value with proprietary alternative data overlays, likely registered a shift in its signals, prompting the consecutive decrease in QCOM's weight from 0.50% to 0.45% between June 22 and June 24. Despite QCOM's PER of 20.8, PBR of 8.37, and a 40.19% ROE, combined with 5.21% revenue growth, the AI’s algorithm may be de-emphasizing the stock due to a perceived weakening in short-term momentum or a re-evaluation of its valuation in relation to the fund’s other ~300 US large-cap holdings.

QRFT · Weight decrease · 2d

The weight-change pattern for QCOM in QRFT shows a measured, two-day consecutive decrease, shifting from 0.51% to 0.47% following a recent peak. This moderate reduction by Qraft Technologies’ AI system likely reflects a calculated response to QUALCOMM’s recent price dynamics, specifically its 14.1% negative 30-day return after a significant 90-day surge of 47.4%. Given QRFT's method of combining traditional factors like momentum with proprietary alternative-data overlays, the AI appears to be trimming exposure to a stock that, despite its 40.19% ROE, exhibits weakening short-term momentum and an elevated 8.37 PBR after reaching 81% of its 52-week high. The weekly rebalancing of this diversified large-cap core fund allows for such adaptive adjustments based on evolving market signals.

AIEQ's active management, powered by IBM Watson NLP's daily analysis of news and other data, executed a significant and consecutive weight decrease in QCOM, dropping from 0.2600% to just 0.1100% within a week by July 1. This precise adjustment within the fund's dynamic 140-180 stock portfolio indicates a rapid deterioration in the AI's conviction. Such a move aligns with the stock's recent price action, specifically its -7.0% 30-day return, which likely signaled negative sentiment shifts that the AI identified at the current $181.92 price point. Despite QCOM's 40.19% ROE, the fund's sentiment-hybrid methodology prioritized these immediate negative trends over longer-term fundamental strength.

AIEQ · Weight decrease · 2d

The pattern observed in AIEQ's QCOM holding is a consecutive, albeit gradual, weight decrease from 0.2600% to 0.2300% across two trading days. This measured reduction aligns with AIEQ's strategy of daily rebalancing and high turnover, enabling rapid adjustments to portfolio positions. Specifically, AIEQ's core reliance on IBM Watson NLP to process vast quantities of textual data, including news and social posts, likely detected a subtle but accumulating shift in market sentiment concerning QCOM. Despite QCOM's substantial 90-day return of 43.7% and a 40.19% return on equity, the recent 30-day return of -3.9% combined with a potential change in the sentiment narrative triggered a calibrated divestment. This action reflects the fund's "fundamentals + sentiment hybrid" style, where even strong financial indicators can be overridden by a persistent negative sentiment signal as detected by its sophisticated AI engine.

$182.97 places QCOM at 73% of its 52-week high, following a 30-day return of -23.2% that contrasts with its 90-day gain of +25.7%. This price behavior likely influenced the Qraft AI's weekly ranking for LQAI, an AI-driven core large-cap fund sensitive to recent performance. The gradual reduction in LQAI's QCOM weight from 0.1600% to 0.1400% before removal on July 7th suggests the Qraft AI model identified a deteriorating trend, even as QCOM maintained a PER of 18.65 and an ROE of 40.19%. As a fund positioned between broad exposure and concentrated momentum, LQAI's AI-driven selection engine likely interpreted the recent negative price trajectory, despite QCOM's 5.21% revenue growth, as a signal to de-rank and ultimately remove the stock, reflecting its systematic, data-driven assessment for weekly rebalancing.

QCOM is currently priced at $188.72, standing at 75% of its 52-week high after a strong 90-day return of +33.6%, yet it has recently dipped by 6.3% over the last 30 days. This recent short-term price retreat likely prompted LQAI’s Qraft AI selection engine, which rebalances weekly and targets core large-cap exposure, to adjust its position. Despite QCOM’s 40.19% ROE and revenue growth of 5.21%, the fund’s weight in the stock consecutively decreased to 0.14% by June 29, following a 0.15% allocation on June 26. This move suggests the AI, operating without heavy factor tilts, is recalibrating QCOM's ranking within its universe, reacting to the recent market dynamics after a period of significant appreciation.

QCOM’s financial metrics, including a PBR of 8.37, a PER of 20.8, and a 40.19% ROE, initially positioned it as a candidate for LQAI, an AI-managed core large-cap ETF that balances various financial attributes rather than focusing on a single factor. After achieving a 90-day return of +40.3%, the stock experienced a recent 30-day dip of -6.1%, bringing its price to $197.41, approximately 79% of its 52-week high. This recent price action, particularly the negative short-term momentum contrasted with previous gains, appears to have influenced Qraft's AI ranking engine, leading to consecutive decreases in QCOM's weight within LQAI from 0.17% on June 22nd to 0.15% by June 24th, reflecting a diminished relative attractiveness for the AI's selection model during its weekly rebalance.

Buffett-style framework

Fails the frameworkas of Jun 14

AI ETFs show a recent trend of decreasing their weight in QUALCOMM, with several instances of reduction across BUZZ, QRFT, and LQAI. This activity broadly aligns with the value-investing framework's "Fail" verdict, which primarily stems from the lack of a sufficient margin of safety at the current price. It suggests that the AI algorithms may also find the current valuation less compelling or are reallocating capital to more attractive opportunities.

  • Circle of CompetenceQualcomm's core licensing business, built on essential wireless patents, provides predictable unit economics for long-term cash flow projections, despite the complexity and cyclicality of its chip manufacturing segment.
  • Economic MoatQualcomm benefits from a powerful economic moat derived from its vast portfolio of essential wireless patents and high switching costs for device manufacturers.
  • ManagementInformation on management's candor, capital allocation discipline, and skin in the game is not available to make a determination.
  • Financial HealthWhile the reported current ROE of 40.19% is excellent, a comprehensive assessment of 10-year ROE, operating margins, debt levels, and owner earnings is not possible with the provided limited data.
  • Margin of SafetyThe current valuation, with a PER of 21.37, PBR of 8.37, and EV/EBITDA of 17.75, does not suggest a defensible discount to intrinsic value, thus failing the margin of safety criterion.

Qualcomm demonstrates a strong, predictable earning power underpinned by an excellent economic moat from its essential wireless technology patents. However, the available data precludes a full assessment of management and long-term financial health beyond an impressive current ROE. Crucially, the current market price does not offer a defensible margin of safety, leading to a "Fail" verdict within this value-investing framework.
