The semiconductor stocks also got a hit from Edgewater Research analysts, flagging Monolithic Power Systems (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MPWR#NASDAQ">MPWR</a>), which faced a significant setback and sent its stock plunging on Monday.
The analysts noted Monolithic&#8217;s allocation to Nvidia&#8217;s Blackwell GPUs is in jeopardy due to performance problems with its Power Management ICs.
The analysts highlighted that Japanese company Renesas and German firm Infineon have stepped in, receiving rush orders, potentially replacing Monolithic in Nvidia&#8217;s B200 and GB200 SKUs.
Edgewater expressed concern that supply chain partners perceived Monolithic&#8217;s temporary solution as a stopgap measure rather than a complete fix.

Why Are Chip Stocks Trading Lower On Monday?

On Wednesday, Qualcomm Incorporated (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/qcom#NASDAQ">QCOM</a>) issued its fiscal fourth quarter results, surpassing Wall Street estimates on both revenue and earnings fronts, fueled by&nbsp;a wave of launches of flagship Chinese smartphones.
With its fortunes have been historically tied to the smartphone industry,&nbsp;Qualcomm continues its efforts to transform into an AI-era ready&nbsp;connected computing company. While it sells modems and related chips to Apple Inc (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/aapl#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) for its iPhones, this revenue stream is about to start fading. While Qualcomm closed a deal with Apple to keep selling chips by at least 2026, Apple is working on its own chips. Therefore, all eyes are on Qualcomm&rsquo;s diversificiation efforts to evaluate their chances of ofsetting the decline from losing Apple. Qualcomm has also made some serious moves to position itself in the AI landscape, having developed smartphone chips with specialized parts for machine learning since 2017. But unlike the AI leader, Nvidia Corporation (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/nvda#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>)&nbsp;&nbsp;Qualcomm does not produce the kind of graphics processors for data centers that are used for big AI programs like Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/msft#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>)-backed OpenAI&rsquo;s ChatGPT. Moreover, Qualcomm&rsquo;s &ldquo;internet of things&rdquo; business includes both chips for industrial purposes as well as the chips Meta Platforms (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/meta#NASDAQ">META</a>) uses in its Quest handsets and Ray-Ban Smart Glasses, along with a new business selling chips for laptops running&nbsp;Microsoft&nbsp;Windows.&nbsp;
<h3>Fiscal Fourth Quarter Highlights</h3>
For the quarter ended on September 29th, revenue grew 19% YoY to&nbsp;&nbsp;$10.24 billion&nbsp;surpassed LSEG&rsquo;s estimate of $9.90 billion. Net income,&nbsp;$2.92 billion&nbsp;or $2.59 per share, which is almost double compared to last year&rsquo;s $1.49 billion, or $1.23 per share.&nbsp;Adjusted earnings per share of $2.69 also topped LSEG&rsquo;s estimate of $2.56&nbsp;per share.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Qualcomm&rsquo;s diversification efforts continue.
The IoT division reported revenue grew 22% YoY to $1.68 billion in revenue.&nbsp;The chip business that covers its handset, automotive, and other chips, grouped as QCT, reported sales growth of 18% as it brought in $7.37 billion.&nbsp;Its profitable technology licensing business, QTL, reported revenue grew as much as 21% YoY to $1.52 billion. Its&nbsp;&nbsp;automotive business grew 86%&nbsp;YoY as it brought in sales of $899 million.
For the full fiscal year, Qualcomm reported total revenue grew 9% YoY to $33.19 billion, with&nbsp;46% of its revenue being from customers with headquarters in China.
Qualcomm is off to a strong December quarter.
For the current quarter, Qualcomm guided for a revenue range between&nbsp;$10.5 billion and $11.3 billion, with automotive sales expected to rise 50% YoY.
Led by&nbsp;CEO Cristiano Amon, Qualcomm has diversified away from being merely a smartphone supplier and expanded its scope by producing chips for PCs, cars, and industrial machines. For now, it seems to be doing a good job at getting ready for the moment Apple will no longer need its chips.

After Wednesday&#8217;s &#8220;everything rally&#8221; spurred by the election results, investors took a less euphoric approach on Thursday ahead of the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting.
The Fed is widely expected to cut interest rates by 25 basis points, bringing them to a range of 4.5%-4.75%, following a previous 50-basis-point cut in September.
Yet, all eyes are on Fed Chair Jerome Powell&#8217;s comments at 2:30 p.m. ET regarding the potential for future rate hikes and his views on inflation risks. Concerns from the market center on the possibility of a policy U-turn driven by higher fiscal deficits and price pressures from trade tariffs under a Trump administration.
Tech stocks led gains, with the Nasdaq 100 extending its record-breaking levels, surpassing 21,000 points and eyeing a third consecutive positive session. The S&amp;P 500 and Dow Jones posted more modest gains, while the Russell 2000 paused after Wednesday&#8217;s 5.8% leap.
Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) remained a top performer among mega-cap stocks, bolstered by expectations of Elon Musk&#8216;s influence in the upcoming administration.
Treasury yields reversed a substantial portion of Wednesday's post-election increase, while the U.S. dollar dipped by 0.7%.
Metal commodities rebounded after Wednesday&#8217;s sharp losses, with gold rising 1.3%, silver up 2% and copper rallying over 4%.
Oil prices strengthened by 1%, with West Texas Intermediate trading around $72 per barrel.
Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) rose 0.8%, reaching $76,000 to extend its record highs, while Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>) outperformed with a gain of over 4%.

Cantor Fitzgerald: Qualcomm reported better-than-feared quarterly results, amid soft Android handset trends and Apple Inc's (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) declining build plans, Muse said in a note. The upside was driven by high exposure to premium phones in China and the company's diversification related to IOT and Automotive, he added.
While the company needs to derisk Apple's plans to bring the modem in-house, the two growing businesses — Automotive and IOT — represented only 25% of total revenues in the September quarter, the analyst stated. 
Although Qualcomm is "the undisputed leader" in smartphone connectivity, the market is slowing, and key customers in China will leave as part of the Made in China move, he further noted.
Rosenblatt Securities: Qualcomm reported revenues of $10.2 billion and non-GAAP earnings of $2.69 per share, beating consensus of $9.86 billion and $2.55 per share, respectively, Cassidy said. Full-year revenues grew by 9%, driven mainly by strength in automotive and IoT revenues, he added.
Management's guidance for the December quarter also came in higher than estimates, mainly driven by new flagship Android smartphone launches by Chinese companies, the analyst stated. "Management noted there has been broad support for GenAI in device development with industry players like Meta Platforms Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) and Amazon.com Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>)," he further wrote.
Piper Sandler: Qualcomm delivered a beat in the latest quarter, with upside being driven by strong trends in the handset business, where the company "appears to be benefiting from both content as well as slight upticks in units relative to the internal expectations," Kumar said.
While IoT and Automotive grew during the quarter, the company's December quarter guidance points to "some moderation," the analyst stated. "We believe that the path to a differentiated revenue stream and away from a handset centric business appears to be very much on track for QCOM," he further wrote.
Benchmark: Qualcomm's quarterly revenues grew 18% year-over-year and came in about $240 million higher than consensus, Acree said. The company's earnings of $2.69 per share came in 13 cents per share ahead of the consensus, he added.
For the fiscal first quarter, management guided to a revenue range of $10.5-$11.3 billion, with the midpoint $300 million higher than Street expectations, the analyst stated. "Regarding its overall handset market, Qualcomm modestly increased its forecast for global 2024 3G/4G/5G handset units, now expecting market volumes to increase annually at a low-to-mid single digit percentage pace, somewhat better than its prior outlook for global units to be flat-to-slightly up for the year," he further wrote.
KeyBanc Capital Markets: Qualcomm's quarterly results were driven by Auto and IoT, Vinh said. Management did not comment on Apple's internal modem but reiterated their expectations for a 20% share of iPhone in 2026, he added.
"F1Q handset outlook highlighted strong rev growth with Chinese OEMs, while the demand in premium segment was normalizing and expanding," the analyst wrote. He expressed concern, however, around headwinds from Apple's internal modem and "the lack of compelling edge AI catalysts."
Price Action: Shares of Qualcommhad risen by 0.22% to $173.37 at the time of publication on Thursday.

QUALCOMM shares are trading higher after the company reported better-than-expected Q4 financial results.

It's not just equities that surged—top cryptocurrency Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) continued to gain momentum, scaling a new all-time high of $76,460.15. At the time of writing, Bitcoin was trading at $74,967.38, up by 1.48% in the last 24 hours.
Insights From Analysts:
Veteran investor Mark Mobius, chairman of Mobius Emerging Opportunities Fund, <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/">told</a> CNBC that a Trump victory would not just be good for the U.S. economy, but also for emerging ones.
A decisive Trump victory would lead to "lots of deregulation," according to Mobius, which would also be "very good" for emerging countries.
"One of the things [I observe] as I travel around the world, is the incredible impact of U.S. regulations on these countries regarding the transfer of funds, know your customer… hopefully, that will go down the drain and there will be much freer trade and much freer movement of currencies."
Ryan Detrick, chief market strategist at Carson Group, highlighted that the U.S. equity markets have already hit new all-time highs 48 times in 2024, with nearly two months still to go.
Per Detrick's analysis, this could mean the U.S. markets could witness 56 all-time highs in 2024, which would make it the fifth most in history.
He is also bullish on the impact of a potential Fed rate cut on U.S. equities. He noted that when the Fed cut rates at a time when the S&amp;P 500 was near an all-time high, it resulted in stocks being higher a year later.
"They&#8217;ve done this 20 other times and a year later stocks were higher 20 times. As we&#8217;ve been saying all year, the Fed is a tailwind."

According to CME Group's FedWatch tool, markets are currently anticipating a 100% chance of a rate cut. Powell's remarks in the press conference will be worth looking out for, though, as investors look for guidance on the future trajectory of rate action.
On the economic data front, U.S. mortgage applications fell by 10.8% from the previous week in the week ended Nov. 1.
U.S. crude oil inventories increased by 2.149 million barrels in the week ended Nov. 1, compared to market estimates of a 1.8 million gain.
