Market Focus06-18 16:51

On June 18, Qualcomm rose 3.07% in pre-market trading, trading at $219.0/share, with turnover of $5.93 million.

On the news front, reports that Qualcomm is in talks to acquire AI chip startup Tenstorrent continued to fuel bullish sentiment. The discussed price range stands at $8 billion to $10 billion, representing approximately a 4x premium over Tenstorrent's prior Series D post-money valuation of roughly $2.6 billion. Founded by legendary chip architect Jim Keller, Tenstorrent develops AI training and inference accelerators based on the RISC-V open architecture, possessing full-stack hardware and software capabilities that could address Qualcomm's technology gap in high-end data center compute chips.

If the deal closes at the upper end, it would rank among the largest AI chip acquisitions in recent years, underscoring Qualcomm's strategic commitment to accelerating its transformation into AI computing and data center hardware. Negotiations remain ongoing, and discussions could still fall through.
