[Memory chip shortage weighs on phones; Qualcomm guidance misses]
Qualcomm reported fiscal Q4 2026 revenue of $10.32 billion and adjusted EPS of $2.17, above consensus of $10.11 billion and $2.16. It guided next-quarter revenue to $10.4-11.2 billion (consensus $10.48 billion) and adjusted EPS of $2.15-2.35, below the $2.32 consensus at the midpoint. As memory chip shortages and rising costs prompt handset makers to cut output, phone chip revenue fell 26% to $5.14 billion, with total revenue down 8%. CEO Cristiano Amon said data center constraints stem from supply, not demand, with data center revenue seen reaching $5 billion in fiscal 2027. Automotive revenue rose 89% to about $2 billion and IoT revenue grew 4% to about $1.89 billion, beating estimates. Qualcomm shares fell 5%+ after hours.
