QCOM

QCOM's results are in line and outlook a tad low. The stock was sold off by more than 10% last night after-market trading. While it has recovered somewhat this morning, uncertainty remains. Most of analysts' comments this morning are fairly positive, and weakness in price is viewed as buying opportunity, although I noted that price target is cut by more analysts. I thought QCOM is a perfect illustration of this year's market where big tech growth leaders really suffered. Uninspiring earnings, tepid outlook, plus inflation and FED, result in severe multiple contraction. QCOM is considered a premium growth stock and it always traded at a significant premium. That premium is no more. At this level, it is just another large uninspiring tech name, like MSFT, INTC, CSCO, YHOO.
