Fiscal period ending 2025-09-28 versus 2024-09-29view filing on EDGAR →

Apple's confirmed modem in-sourcing transition poses a material, explicitly quantified threat to QCT revenues and cash flows, representing the single largest demand-side risk shift in this filing. Simultaneously, the completed Huawei license revocation — carrying a $560M prior-year revenue impact — and expanded exposure to Chinese-affiliated entities and supply chains compound geopolitical concentration risk. Together, these changes signal meaningful deterioration across both customer concentration and geopolitical dimensions.

Company-specific changes

Revised

New explicit disclosure that Apple will increasingly use its own modem products rather than the company's products, with significant negative impact on QCT revenues and cash flows.

Risk Factors: RISKS RELATED TO OUR OPERATING BUSINESSES We derive a significant portion of our revenues from a small number of customers and licensees, and particularly from their sale of…

Revised

Apple explicitly added as major customer vertically integrating; new language stating "significant negative impact" on QCT revenues and cash flows from Apple's modem transition.

Our business, particularly our semiconductor business, may suffer as a result of our customers vertically integrating (i.e., developing their own integrated circuit products). Certain of our largest…

Revised

Huawei license revocation now disclosed as completed fact (May 2024) with $560M prior-year revenue impact. Expanded scope to "Chinese-affiliated" entities and supply chain risks materially escalates geopolitical exposure.

A significant portion of our business is concentrated in China, and the risks of such concentration are exacerbated by U.S./China trade and national security tensions. We derive a significant portion…

Revised

New disclosure of AI IP risks: loss of patent rights, infringement exposure, and regulatory uncertainty as company integrates AI into products.

RISKS RELATED TO INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY The enforcement and protection of our intellectual property may be expensive, could fail to prevent misappropriation or unauthorized use of our intellectual…

Revised

New disclosure of AI-related IP infringement risk. Company explicitly identifies increasing AI use as exposing it to copyright and IP misappropriation claims—a substantive new risk vector.

Claims by third parties that we infringe their intellectual property could adversely affect our business. From time to time, third parties have asserted, and may again assert, patent, copyright…

Eased / removed

Removed

Removal of explicit disclosure that Apple, Samsung, Xiaomi each comprised 10%+ of revenues signals reduced customer concentration risk or improved diversification—material for investors assessing revenue stability.

Revenue Concentrations and Significant Customers A small number of customers/licensees historically have accounted for a significant portion of our consolidated revenues. In fiscal 2024, revenues…

Also disclosed — common-mode (Tariffs trade policy)
Tariffs trade policy Revised

New disclosure of trade policy risks: tariffs, trade tensions, and economic uncertainty now explicitly identified as material threats to pricing, demand, costs, and margins.

GENERAL RISK FACTORS We operate in the highly cyclical semiconductor industry, which is subject to significant downturns. We are also susceptible to declines in global, regional and local economic…

Material year-over-year changes to this company's Risk Factors (Item 1A), found by comparing each annual report to the prior year, judged for materiality, and classified as company-specific or common-mode against the cross-company catalog. Common-mode changes are the macro themes many companies disclose in common; they are collapsed above. A filing marked unchanged had no material change from the prior year; its summary describes the company's standing risks, which remain in force. Fiscal periods are the reporting period ends. Not investment advice.

QUALCOMM issued a warrant to Amazon.com NV Investment Holdings LLC to acquire up to 25 million shares of common stock at $161.26 per share, with 3.75 million shares vesting upon issuance based on initial purchase commitments and additional tranches tied to up to $60 billion in Amazon purchases.

Dilutive issuance

8-K filed 2026-07-31 confidence 92% Item 8.01

QUALCOMM issued 17,826,566 shares of common stock as consideration for the acquisition of Modular Inc in a private placement relying on Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 506 of Regulation D. The filing of a prospectus supplement covering resale of these shares by selling stockholders signals a dilutive equity issuance. This is material as it represents a significant equity dilution to existing shareholders and relates to the previously announced Modular acquisition consideration.

Earnings release

8-K filed 2026-07-29 confidence 98% Item 2.02

This is a clear earnings release for Qualcomm's third quarter fiscal 2026 results, disclosed via press release on July 29, 2026. The filing presents GAAP and Non-GAAP financial results including revenues of $9.9 billion, diluted EPS of $1.87 (GAAP) and $2.21 (Non-GAAP), along with segment results, cash flow statements, and forward guidance for Q4 FY26. The disclosure is material to investors as it reports quarterly financial performance and provides forward-looking guidance on revenues and earnings.

M&A activity

8-K filed 2026-06-24 confidence 92% Item 3.02

While Item 3.02 addresses unregistered equity issuances, the core disclosed event is QUALCOMM's entry into a definitive agreement to acquire Modular Inc for up to 19.2 million shares of common stock. This is a material acquisition that would be reported under Item 1.01 or 2.01 as the principal event; the equity issuance is merely the consideration mechanism. The acquisition itself—not the private placement mechanics—is the material event affecting investor assessment of the company's strategic direction and financial position.
