Valuation26/ 100
Cash flow & growth48/ 100
Upside potential16/ 100
Risk potential54/ 100

QCOM's valuation is somewhat elevated, fundamentals are above averages, but weaker than expected earnings are holding it back, though estimates vary widely.

Score change since last week

The score fell 1 point, mainly due to valuation and price changes. Price rose 2.8%, from $164.19 to $168.74. Reported EPS was unchanged, so the higher price reduced valuation support.

Valuation and price changes subtracted 0.4 points. The comparison uses the same available inputs on both dates. Displayed changes are rounded to whole points.

Valuation

Historical cheapness: current PE is 20.8× versus the full-history median of 18.4× shown in the valuation table, producing 41.5/100. Positive weekly observations receive equal weight; lower past EPS alone does not disqualify them.

Outlook-adjusted valuation: 25.7/100. The model applies a -15.9% earnings-growth assumption and a 10% annual return hurdle, with positive credit limited by evidence coverage and confidence.

Forward price scenarios use recent PE history separately. Recent history has a separately weighted median of 18.9× (18-month half-life). The favorable scenario uses 17.8× PE and $8.2 projected EPS, informed by growth, margins and earnings-quality checks. This is a model scenario, not an analyst target. A return to the full-history median is not assumed.

Cash flow & growth

Business trends are mixed. Over the past year: revenue +1.9%, earnings -15.4%, operating margin -4.6 percentage points. Free cash flow is 23.6% of revenue. The business score is 47.6/100. Growth, margins and cash generation drive the score. Missing or older data receives less weight.

Favorable scenario

The earnings calculation and the displayed scenario are different.

The earnings case uses $8.20 of EPS and a 17.8× PE, suggesting about $145.46 before the minimum is applied. Valuation history and outlook inform the PE.

The model applies a 15% minimum upside scenario, so the card shows +15%, or about $209.27. That adjusted price does not come from the EPS × PE calculation above.

This is a scenario based on our model, not a forecast or probability.

Downside scenario

Weaker than expected earnings could put pressure on the share price.

Our downside case uses $5.72 of EPS and a 14.6× PE, suggesting a share price of about $83.45 — 54% below today’s price. Valuation history and outlook inform the PE.

This is a scenario based on our model, not a forecast or probability.

Upside potential51/ 100
Risk potential44/ 100

WDC's valuation appears fair, fundamentals are above averages and forward estimates point to earnings and revenue growth despite pressure on margins, though estimates vary widely.

Score change since last week

The score fell 3 points, mainly due to valuation and price changes. Price rose 1.7%, from $459.45 to $467.46. Reported EPS was unchanged, so the higher price reduced valuation support.

Valuation and price changes subtracted 2.6 points. The comparison uses the same available inputs on both dates. Displayed changes are rounded to whole points.

Valuation

Valuation stays neutral because earnings are difficult to compare across periods. Business trends, outlook and financial risk still contribute to the overall score.

Cash flow & growth

Business trends are strong. Over the past year: revenue +13.4%, operating margin +11.8 percentage points. Free cash flow is 24.9% of revenue. The business score is 80.7/100. Growth, margins and cash generation drive the score. Missing or older data receives less weight.

Favorable scenario

Business trends and outlook support upside. Price history provides the reference because earnings are difficult to compare.

The calculation starts with the stock’s typical weekly price movements, adjusted for business performance and outlook. Unusually large jumps have less influence. The result is 46.1% upside, or about $653.33.

This is a scenario based on our model, not a forecast or probability.

Downside scenario

Historical price swings are the main risk driver, even without a sharp profit decline.

The stock’s historical price swings drive this figure; the separate operating stress is 20%. Price history and operating stress provide the reference because comparable earnings do not support a future PE target. Operating stress reflects revenue, earnings, margins, outlook and relevant debt exposure. The larger stress gives 44.1% downside, or about $249.97, with a 15% minimum.

This is a scenario based on our model, not a forecast or probability.
