Halvledarbolaget Qualcomm drar ned på personalstyrkan genom uppsägningar av 1.258 personer i Kalifornien.
Halvledarbolaget Qualcomm drar ned på personalstyrkan genom uppsägningar av 1.258 personer i Kalifornien.
USA har dragit tillbaka halvledartillverkarna Qualcomms och Intels licenser att sälja komponenter till kinesiska Huawai, enligt uppgifter till nyhetsbyrån Bloomberg. Båda aktierna faller under onsdagens börshandel.
Den amerikanska chiptillverkaren Qualcomm redovisar ett justerat resultat per aktie på 2:02 dollar för det fjärde kvartalet 2023 i det brutna räkenskapsåret.
Samsungs nya serie med flaggskeppstelefoner – Galaxy S24 – kan komma att visas upp tidigare än vanligt, närmare bestämt redan den 18 januari. Det hävdar åtminstone techläckaren Ice Universe, som hävdar att Samsung har planerat in ett så kallat Unpacked-event till just det datumet. Samsung har under de senaste åren presenterat sina nya Galaxy S-telefoner i februari eller mars. Senast en presentation skedde redan i januari var när Galaxy S21-telefonerna visades upp 2021. Anledningen till den tidiga presentationen tros vara att en ny generation systemkretsar från både Samsung och Qualcomm kommer att vara färdiga tidigare än vanligt och att Samsung vill vara snabbt framme med en produkt som har dem.
Chipjätten Qualcomm skär ned med hundratals arbetstillfällen i Kina och Taiwan. Det rapporterar Nikkei Asia som skriver att åtgärden är ett tecken på en nedgång och svag återhämtning på smartphoneområdet.
Apple har lagt flera miljarder och flera år på att försöka ta fram ett eget modemchip som ska kunna ersätta de modem från Qualcomm som används i dagens Iphone-modeller. Men satsningen har inte burit frukt ännu, och nu menar ingenjörer som jobbat med projektet att det så här långt är att betrakta som en flopp. Det uppger Wall Street Journal. Enligt WSJ:s uppgifter så ska projektet hittills ha kommit så långt att en prototyp togs fram 2022, men den ska ha haft stora problem med överhettning, och dessutom varit långsam. Prototypens kretskort ska dessutom ha varit så stort att det skulle ha tagit upp en halv Iphone. Ett av problemen uppges ha varit att ledningen underskattat hur svårt uppdraget är. Personer med insyn i arbetet uppger att Apple idag ligger tre år efter Qualcomm på området, skriver sajten Apple Insider.
New York-börsen inleder den makrotunga veckan med gröna siffror. Bland vinnarna finns chipjätten Qualcomm och elbilstillverkaren Tesla.
Elektronikjätten Apple har förlängt kontraktet om leveranser av halvledarutrustning till modem från amerikanska Qualcomm i tre år till.
Qualcomm-aktien handlades upp drygt 8 procent i måndagens amerikanska förhandel efter beskedet att Apple förlängt sitt avtal med chipleverantören.
Bland de mest omsatta aktierna i OMXS30-index lyfter gruvkoncernen Boliden och vitvarutillverkaren Electrolux med 3,2 procent vardera. Verkstadskoncernen Alfa Laval pressas av ett sänkt riktpris från analytiker på den amerikanska storbanken Citi. Aktien faller 2 procent. Läkemedelskoncernen Astra Zeneca tappar samtidigt 3,8 procent. Uppgången får bland annat draghjälp av tydliga kurslyft på Wall Street, där S&P500-index inleder med en uppgång på 0,7 procent och tekniktung Nasdaqbörsen stiger 0,9 procent. Bland vinnarna finns telekomtillverkaren Qualcomm, vars aktie lyfter över 5 procent på ett förlängt Apple-kontrakt. Även elbilstillverkaren Tesla går starkt efter ett kraftigt höjt riktpris från analytiker på Morgan Stanley. Naturgaspriset lyfter för tredje dagen i rad, till följd av en australisk strejk. Ett terminskontrakt för leverans av naturgas nästa månad stiger 6,6 procent till cirka 36:80 euro per megawattimme på råvarubörsen i Amsterdam. På valutamarknaden stiger nedtryckta asiatiska valutor – som den japanska yenen och Kinas yuan – bland annat sedan Japans centralbankschef kommit med hökaktiga uttalanden och kollegorna i Peking varnat för spekulation mot yuanen. Kronan hänger med de asiatiska valutorna uppåt och stiger några ören mot dollarn och euron. En dollar kostar 11:06 kronor, medan en euro ligger på 11:88 kronor. Det kan jämföras med förra veckans bottennapp kring 11:16 kronor för en dollar och 11:94 kronor för en euro. Stockholmsbörsen backade 0,4 procent i fredags. Med måndagens återhämtning är uppgången för OMXS-index sedan årsskiftet upp 3,5 procent.

Ben Bajarin and Jay Goldberg discuss key news bits from Qualcomm's Snapdragon Summit, Apple's Scary Fast event where new M3 Apple Silicon was announced, and what it means for the market as a whole and for architecture competition.
Qualcomm is a mobile chipmaker and designer that has been trying to break into the laptop market for years. Apple has been a major player in laptops and made significant headway with the introduction of the M-series chip in 2020. Just recently, Qualcomm announced the Snapdragon X Elite laptop chips. The Snapdragon X Elite is based on Arm architecture and will give x86 chip makers Intel and AMD, and maybe even Apple (?) a run for their money. It remains to be seen whether Qualcomm will be successful in its attempt to enter the laptop market. However, the Snapdragon X Elite platform is a significant improvement over Qualcomm's previous efforts, and it could give Qualcomm a competitive edge. Meanwhile, Apple just front-ran Qualcomm with the quick announcement and availability of MacBooks powered by the M3 chips. The competition between these two companies could lead to more innovation in the laptop market, as both try to develop the best possible products as far as power-to-performance goes. Which stock is a better buy in this important area of the semiconductor race? Chip Stock Investor breaks it down in this episode, along with a brief history of the x86 vs. Arm laptop chip battle in recent decades.
