QCOM

Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo predicts that Qualcomm will be negatively impacted by Huawei's adoption of its self-developed Kirin processors starting in 2024. This could result in Qualcomm losing Huawei's orders and facing a decline in shipments to non-Huawei Chinese brands due to increased competition. Qualcomm's SoC shipments to Chinese smartphone brands in 2024 are expected to be 50-60 million units lower than in 2023. Additionally, Qualcomm may start a price war in 4Q23 to maintain market share in the Chinese market, which could hurt profits.
