Why Qualcomm Stock Dropped This Morning

Why Qualcomm Stock Dropped This Morning

Qualcomm (NASDAQ: QCOM) stock shed about 2.5% through 12:30 p.m. ET on Tuesday, but the reasons why relate more to what's happening at a rival chip company than to anything occurring at Qualcomm itself. If you are unfamiliar with MediaTek, it's worth getting acquainted. With a market capitalization of $47 billion, the Taiwan-based "fabless" semiconductor producer is barely one-third of Qualcomm's size.
