QUALCOMM Inc (NASDAQ:QCOM) shares are trading lower Monday following a downgrade from Wells Fargo.
What Happened: Wells Fargo analyst Gary Mobley downgraded Qualcomm from Equal-Weight to Underweight and announced a $105 price target, citing underperformance ahead of the company.
"Once investor sentiment toward the chip sector turns more positive, or once investors are convinced we've reached a trough in the chip cycle, we believe shares of companies w/high smartphone exposure should underperform the broader chip sector," Mobley wrote in a new note to clients.
The Wells Fargo analyst expects Qualcomm to trade at a discount to competitors as investors assign lower multiples to chip companies serving the mobile handset market. Furthermore, Wells Fargo anticipates a decline in sales to Apple Inc (NASDAQ:AAPL).

The analyst expects Qualcomm to be left out of iPhone 16 models, leaving the company to depend on the premium-tier Android smartphone community, "which may not be the best exposure to have," Wells Fargo said.
Mobley expects Qualcomm's earnings to take a hit of approximately $1.25 per share related to the decline in Apple exposure.
QCOM Price Action: Qualcomm has a 52-week high of $193.58 and a 52-week low of $101.93.
The stock was down 1.76% at $116.89 at time of publication, according to Benzinga Pro.
