” As 5G continues to present, we are understanding the advantages of the financial investments we have actually made in developing the most extensive licensing program in mobile and are turning the technical obstacles of 5G into management opportunities and business wins,” said Steve Mollenkopf, CEO of Qualcomm, in a declaration.
He continued: “We delivered profits above the high end of our range, continued to perform in our product and licensing businesses and participated in a brand-new long-lasting patent license arrangement with Huawei, all of which position us well for the balance of 2020 and beyond.”
In addition to Huawei, Qualcomm has a relationship with Apple and is once again supplying chips to the business after a legal battle in 2015. The “delay of a worldwide 5G flagship phone launch” could negatively impact 4th quarter performance, Qualcomm said.
