## When and where to watch the Qualcomm earnings report

| Item | Detail |
| --- | --- |
| Results | Wednesday, November 4, 2026, after the market closes |
| Where | Qualcomm's investor relations website, and an SEC Form 8-K |
| Conference call | 1:45 p.m. Pacific, 4:45 p.m. Eastern |
| Live audio | The events page at investor.qualcomm.com |
| Replay | Posted on the same page after the call, and by phone for 30 days |

Qualcomm's fiscal year ends in late September, so this is the fiscal fourth quarter, not the calendar one.

## What Qualcomm guided to in July

Qualcomm gave its outlook for this quarter when it [reported fiscal third quarter results on July 29](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/0000804328/000080432826000085/qcom062826erex991.htm). Those are the numbers the November 4 report will be measured against.

| Fourth quarter guidance | Range |
| --- | --- |
| Total revenue | $9.7 billion to $10.5 billion |
| Chip business (QCT) revenue | $8.4 billion to $9.0 billion |
| Licensing business (QTL) revenue | $1.2 billion to $1.4 billion |
| GAAP diluted earnings per share | $1.22 to $1.42 |
| Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share | $2.05 to $2.25 |

QCT sells the chips, and QTL licenses Qualcomm's patents. Non-GAAP earnings leave out items such as share-based compensation. Qualcomm says its outlook excludes provisions for proposed tax law changes, future asset impairments and most pending legal matters.

## The last report, in numbers

In the quarter ended June 28, 2026, Qualcomm reported revenue of $9.947 billion, down 4% from $10.365 billion a year earlier. GAAP diluted earnings per share were $1.87, down 23%. Non-GAAP earnings per share were $2.21, down 20%.

The split inside the chip business shows what to look for next:

| QCT stream | Third quarter revenue | Change from a year earlier |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Handsets | $5.086 billion | Down 20% |
| Automotive | $1.588 billion | Up 61% |
| IoT (connected devices) | $1.830 billion | Up 9% |

Phones are still the largest piece, and they fell. Cars and connected devices grew. The release also said Qualcomm is raising product prices to cover broader input cost increases, which it expects to help gross margins gradually over time. It also said it completed its acquisition of Modular Inc, which it describes as an open software foundation for generative and agentic AI, and that the quarter included $101 million in acquisition-related charges.

In the quarter Qualcomm returned $2.3 billion to shareholders: $973 million in dividends and $1.4 billion in share repurchases. CEO Cristiano Amon said in the release: "We are well positioned to execute on the vision we outlined at our recent Investor Day."

## What we don't know yet

The October 22 announcement gives the schedule and nothing else. It does not say what the company will report. The results, the full-year totals and the outlook for the first quarter of fiscal 2027 will come out only on November 4. Analyst estimates vary by source and aren't part of Qualcomm's own materials, so this article doesn't rely on them.

After the release, the full text will appear on Qualcomm's investor site and in its 8-K filing. This article describes the schedule and published results only. It is not investment advice.
