$QCOM in Ascending Triangle $165 PT

The global chip shortage is still nowhere near over, making semiconductor companies very attractive here. QCOM is my top pick of the sector as they dont only benefit from the chip shortage they also benefit greatly from the roll out of 5G. The roll out of 5G will be sped up by US investment via the infrastructure bill which allocates $65b to broadband infrastructure. QCOM’s Snapdragon 5G chip is the most cost efficient chip on the market, which should continue to be in high demand as chinese firm Huawei is still banned in the US and UK which creates market share for QCOM given Huawei used to be one of the largest 5G chip manufactures before they were banned in multiple countries. QCOM has been trading in a clear ascending triangle pattern which historically implying further upside (72.7% of the time), QCOM should be able to breakout of this pattern and move higher. Trading at 20x (FWD) PE and a 2% dividend QCOM is trading at a very fair value, with great growth prospects making it a very strong BUY for me.
