Qualcomm gives tepid forecast in sign of shaky phone marketBloombergQualcomm Inc, the largest maker of smartphone processors, gave a lackluster revenue forecast for the current quarter, stoking concern that component shortages will hurt consumer demand by driving prices up. The company's sales will be US$10.2 billion to US$11 billion this quarter, the company said in a statement yesterday. Analysts, on average, estimated revenue of US$11.2 billion and earnings of US$2.89 a share, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Last quarter's profit was US$2.78 a share when excluding some items, while sales increased 5 percent year-on-year to about US$12.3 billion, according to Qualcomm. Internet-connected devices generated sales of US$1.69 billion, with the automotive market contributing US$1.1 billion.
