Fun facts about QUALCOMM INC/DE

Quirks, history, and lore behind QCOM — the kind of stuff that makes a stock memorable.

1
The Basics
U.S. semiconductor company · mega-cap · listed on Nasdaq · headquartered in San Diego, California.
2
The Numbers
Annual revenue around $35 billion, but the real money machine is a licensing division that earns royalties on nearly every 3G, 4G, and 5G phone sold on Earth — at margins that make software companies jealous.
3
The History
Founded in 1985 by seven engineers, including Irwin Jacobs, its first big bet was a trucking-fleet radio system before it pivoted to the technology that would define mobile communications for 30 years.
4
The Secret
It pioneered CDMA — a wireless standard once mocked by rivals — and then quietly made it the backbone of global cellular networks, turning a patent portfolio into a licensing toll booth the whole industry must pay.
5
The Lore
Apple sued it, settled for a reported $4.5 billion, and then immediately signed a multi-year chip supply deal — because you can hate the toll booth, but you still need to cross the bridge.
6
The Giveaway
Its Snapdragon processors power the flagship Android phones of Samsung, Google, and practically everyone else — and now it's gunning for laptop chips to take on Intel and Apple Silicon.
