Qualcomm Q3 FY2024: Strong Revenue Growth as Diversification Pays Off

Qualcomm reported its Q3 FY2024 earnings on July 31, 2024, delivering results that underscored the company’s growing diversification beyond smartphones. Revenue came in at $9.39 billion, up 11% year-over-year, with non-GAAP EPS of $2.33 — both beating analyst expectations and signaling momentum heading into the critical back half of the fiscal year.

Qualcomm Q3 FY2024 — strong results driven by diversification and AI momentum.

The Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 continued to power flagship Android devices globally, and Qualcomm’s automotive design win pipeline exceeded $45 billion — a figure CEO Cristiano Amon highlighted as validation of the company’s long-term transformation strategy. The Automotive segment posted $811 million in revenue, up 87% year-over-year, making it a genuine bright spot in the results.

The IoT segment remained under pressure as inventory normalization continued across the industry, but the PC ambitions tied to the Snapdragon X Elite platform were generating real excitement — Copilot+ PCs from major OEMs were already shipping or announced, representing a meaningful new revenue vector for Qualcomm outside its traditional handset stronghold.

Amon’s vision of Qualcomm as an AI-edge computing company rather than a modem vendor is increasingly reflected in the numbers. Q3 FY2024 was another step toward making that story stick. investor.qualcomm.com
