The company's revenue range for the next quarter covers and is above analysts' expected value, but the midpoint of the earnings per share range is below expectations.
Why it matters to readers
These data reflect Qualcomm's recent revenue, handset business, and cost situation; the next quarter's earnings per share guidance and after-hours stock price changes also show that the market is relatively sensitive to its profitability performance.
Beginners can distinguish between the two concepts of "performance above expectations" and "year-over-year growth": this data slightly exceeded expectations, but it does not mean revenue grew year-over-year. You can also continue to observe whether the actual results for the next quarter fall within the company's guidance range.
