On Friday, Qualcomm (QCOM.US) saw a significant increase of over 11% in the morning session, with a cumulative increase of 75% since April, now trading at $226.14. In terms of news, the company had previously released two positive signals when announcing its quarterly performance: progress in its data center business, and the Chinese smartphone market is expected to reach a bottom in the third quarter and then recover with sequential growth, boosting investor confidence. Qualcomm stated that a leading hyperscale cloud service operator is expected to start using its chip products later this year, marking a key breakthrough for the company in entering the data center market.
