$QCOM Feeling like this is the week we hear about the 2nd hyperscaler agreement for our AI silicon platform. If Customer
#2 turns out to be Microsoft (which I think it will be) the narrative around QCOM changes considerably. You would have:
Amazon → custom AI silicon + connectivity
Microsoft → custom AI silicon
Meta → Dragonfly/Oryon data-center CPU
HUMAIN → AI infrastructure
Alphawave → SerDes/optical connectivity across the ecosystem
At that point, Qualcomm wouldn’t merely be trying to enter AI data centers. It would have major engagements with three of the world’s largest AI infrastructure builders.
That’s the scenario where I think the market starts recognizing that Qualcomm is becoming a credible second custom-AI-silicon platform alongside Broadcom rather than simply just a handset semiconductor company with an AI side business.
