Alternative ways to invest in Qualcomm Incorporated
Buying shares in just one company is generally considered a riskier bet than investing in a range of investments - AKA a "diversified portfolio". Experts generally recommend holding a mix of investments in specific assets and funds. Funds are ready-made portfolios of multiple companies' shares (potentially including Qualcomm Incorporated), and the idea is that drops in the value of one constituent company's share price might be offset by rises in others.
Qualcomm Incorporated is a major part of the NASDAQ, so it's included in many global funds and investment trusts, as well as tracker-style exchange traded funds (ETFs).

Is Qualcomm Incorporated under- or over-valued?
Valuing a stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge value. Check out the Qualcomm Incorporated P/E ratio, PEG ratio and EBITDA.
Qualcomm Incorporated's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 21x. In other words, Qualcomm Incorporated's shares trade at around 21x recent earnings.
That's comparable to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the United States stock markets on average as of November 09, 2023 (20.44).
Qualcomm Incorporated's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 1.0825. A PEG ratio close to 1 can be interpreted as meaning shares offer reasonable value for the current rate of growth.
The PEG ratio provides a broader view than just the P/E ratio, as it gives more insight into Qualcomm Incorporated's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
Qualcomm Incorporated's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is a whopping $11.6 billion (£9.1 billion).
The EBITDA is a measure of Qualcomm Incorporated's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.
