Highlights

Qualcomm is in advanced talks to acquire Tenstorrent for up to $10 billion, aiming to expand its AI and data center capabilities.
The company increased its quarterly dividend by 3.37% to $0.92 per share, with payment scheduled for June 25 to shareholders of record on June 4.
Shares are in a strong bullish trend well above key moving averages, with indicators signaling overbought conditions and a projected five-day range of $212.50 to $238.18.

Dividend hike and AI deal talks energize investor sentiment

Qualcomm is set to pay its second quarterly dividend of 2026 on June 25, with shareholders of record as of June 4 eligible to receive a payment of $0.92 per share, representing a 3.37% increase from the prior dividend. The company is in advanced discussions to acquire AI chip startup Tenstorrent for a potential $8 billion to $10 billion, aiming to strengthen its presence in AI and data center hardware. Qualcomm has also announced a custom AI data center silicon program in partnership with a major hyperscaler and has seen increased interest ahead of its upcoming Investor Day as new initiatives in AI attract attention.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, views Qualcomm's technical picture as overstretched. He points to the stock trading well above key moving averages and notes that momentum remains elevated. Yet, he highlights growing risks — multiple oscillators flag short-term overbought conditions and the upside gap increases the chance of a reversal. Kharitonov is wary of the aggressive $8–10 billion Tenstorrent deal, which may strain balance sheet flexibility. "I see recent gains as vulnerable to profit-taking, especially with sentiment overheating and risk rising at these levels," says Kharitonov.

Viktoras Karapetjanc, expert at Traders Union, highlights Qualcomm's strong bullish momentum and constructive news flow. He emphasizes the company's enhanced AI focus, from the Tenstorrent talks to new silicon partnerships, as a major growth catalyst. Institutional demand and investor confidence appear firm ahead of Investor Day. "With the bullish structure intact and fundamentals improving, further growth can be expected as Qualcomm captures new AI-driven opportunities," Karapetjanc affirms.

Sustained uptrend as technicals show strength despite overbought signals

Qualcomm is trading well above its 20-day ($224.15), 50-day ($189.45), and 200-day ($166.47) simple moving averages, confirming a strong bullish structure across all timeframes. Dynamic resistance is now at the Ichimoku Kijun level of $224.05, with previous resistance near the round $230 area emerging after the recent breakout. Momentum remains robust: the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) is in strong buy territory, supported by the Average Directional Index (ADX) above 25, pointing to solid trend strength. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) reads 50.75, while the Stochastic RSI and Commodity Channel Index (CCI) highlight potential short-term overbought signals. Bull/Bear Power (BBP) is positive at 5.06, indicating intraday buyer dominance and overbought conditions. Awesome Oscillator (AO) direction is neutral. The stock is up $14.87 or 6.98% today, after an upside gap of about $12.66 at the open. It is currently trading near the daily high, with intraday volatility at 4.69%, reflecting sustained strength toward session highs. Momentum signals are strong, though some oscillators flag short-term overheating and divergence.

Earlier, analysts noted that Qualcomm’s resilient technical setup and ongoing AI initiatives were underpinning a broadly bullish outlook for the stock. With momentum indicators now pointing to further near-term strength and a potential breakout scenario confirmed by a surge in price and volume, traders should monitor the $230 level as a pivotal resistance, with a sustained move above it likely to accelerate upside toward the $238 zone.
