What drives the base case
All three cases →The latest weakness is concentrated in handsets, where customer inventory and memory costs are weighing on demand. Automotive and connected-device revenue are still expanding, and Qualcomm is investing heavily to add data-center computing. This case assumes those newer businesses scale meaningfully but fall short of the company's full ambition, allowing profitability to recover without returning immediately to its recent peak.
