Qualcomm reports Q3 FY26 revenue $9.9B (-4% YoY); targets 60%+ non-handset growth in FY27

Qualcomm delivered Q3 FY26 revenues of $9.9 billion, down 4% year-over-year, as handset weakness offset automotive strength. The company projects a significant inflection in FY27, with non-handset revenues expected to accelerate from 24% growth in FY26 to greater than 60% in FY27, driven by data center expansion and the strategic acquisition of Modular Inc. to build an open software foundation for agentic AI. Management expects input cost headwinds from wafer fabrication, assembly, test, advanced packaging, and memory to persist, with pricing actions gradual in their margin benefit.
