About Qualcomm
Qualcomm turns caffeine and code into shareholder value — with price receipts on this site going back to 1991. And the long game: $100 at its first close here (1991) would be about $39,682 today.

- Its best month on record was December 1999 at +94.45%; its worst, May 2000 at -38.79%.
- It has closed March in the green 26 out of 35 times — not a promise, just a suspicious habit.
