Qualcomm reported revenues of $10.6 billion with non-GAAP EPS of $2.65 at the high end of guidance, as the memory-driven handset under-shipment played out as expected. Automotive revenue crossed a $5 billion annual run rate at $1.3 billion for the quarter, up 38% year-over-year. Data center custom silicon engagements with hyperscalers advanced, though the Apple modem transition headwind loomed and Q3 guidance pointed to sequential revenue decline.
