- Qualcomm shares edged north Thursday after Canaccord Genuity analyst Michael Walkley raised his price target on the chipmaker's stock to $225 a share.
- Walkley made the move after hosting a fireside chat with Qualcomm (QCOM) Chief Executive Cristiano Amon at a Canaccord conference. The analyst said the opportunities from the expansion of 5G smartphone use were among the reasons for his upbeat take on the company's stock-price potential. Walkley earlier had a $200-a-share price target in place.
- Walkley said new business with Google(NASDAQ: Alphabet) Android phone makers, as well as "overall market share gains with a full year of shipping to Apple" should boost Qualcomm's 5G sales down the road.
- Qualcomm (QCOM) recently attracted some attention when the San Diego-based company threw its hat in the ring with a bid to acquire Swedish automotive technology developer Veoneer, Inc. for $37 a share, or about $4.6 billion.
