The quarter ended September 27
Qualcomm announced its fiscal fourth-quarter and full-year 2026 results on November 4.
Q4 GAAP revenue was $10.322 billion, down 8% year over year. GAAP diluted earnings per share were $1.17; the adjusted figure was $2.17.
Phones and automotive move differently
QCT handset revenue fell 26% to $5.137 billion. Automotive revenue rose 89% to $1.990 billion, close to the rounded $2 billion highlighted by the company. These are quarterly chip-business figures.
Pricing and outlook are forward-looking
Qualcomm repeated that it is reflecting higher fabrication, packaging and memory costs in product pricing. It expects the full margin benefit in the second half of fiscal 2027.
For Q1 FY2027, it forecasts revenue of $10.4 billion to $11.2 billion. That range is guidance, separate from the completed quarter.
How to check the detail
Use the release's GAAP-to-adjusted reconciliations when comparing earnings. Company chip-pricing actions do not establish a specific retail phone-price change.
Qualcomm links its full results and earnings-call access through investor relations. Its announcement says the audio replay will remain available there for 30 days after the November 4 call.
