Qualcomm Makes New Plans for the Future
Introduction
Qualcomm says it will make less money than people expected. Now, the company wants to sell more parts for big computers.
Main Body
Qualcomm has a problem. There are not enough memory chips. This makes phones more expensive. Because of this, fewer people buy phones. This is a big problem in China. The boss, Cristiano Amon, says things will get better soon. The company is spending 20 billion dollars to buy its own shares. This helps the people who invest money in the company. Qualcomm wants to stop depending only on phones. They are making new parts for data centers. These parts use AI. This will help the company make more money in the future.
Conclusion
Qualcomm has problems now because of chip shortages. But they are using AI and new computer parts to grow.
