Thread regarding Qualcomm Inc. layoffs

What can the CEO do?

Since our cash cow which is mobile is under threat,What he is doing makes sense, otherwise how he is going to pay everyone and keep the stock without further tanking?
With the macro economy falling, Sample threat of litigation looming in 2025, better get ready now and tighten the belt.
Our big XR investments are not going to help bring in money, likely it will be a flop, of course CEO can't say that in public, so we will hear on Thursday all hands that everything is fine and only few people were let go.

But things will get worse in the coming months, so polish your resumes and anticipate what is coming.

CEO Keeps fighting with Apple. Currently for chips and later for royalty.

Apple will raise royalty issue again once they have in house modem.

weird company. has always been this QTL vs QCT culture. Both need each other to survive, i wouldnt get so wrapped up in margins by group, its a function of where you put the cost of development in the org, QTL P&L doesnt carry the cost to develop patents so margins not as high as posted, QCT couldnt spend like crazy minus the QTL cash. QTL is full of fat, QCT has promoted leadership to level of incompetency. not a se-y stock going forward.

QCT is not the cash cow. QCT has very thin margins. QTL is the cash cow by far (it isn’t even close). First thing the CEO should do is fire workers like you who know nothing. 2nd thing CEO should do is find engineers who can invent the next great product

If you have servants at home and you no longer make money what will you do. Feed your kids or keep your servants. This is exactly what they are doing. So suck up. They don’t give a cr-p about you. They are giving you severance to save their bu-t.

The executive team sets the direction for the company. The macro-economic challenges are being faced by ALL companies. How are NVDA, AMD etc able to flourish and have managed to claw back their losses from Nov 2021 high? Zero excuses really.
