Qualcomm (NASDAQ: QCOM) will pay dividends to shareholders this week, continuing its regular capital returns to investors.
The company will distribute $0.92 per common share on Thursday, September 24. Shareholders must have owned the stock before September 3, the ex-dividend date, to qualify for the payment.
An investor holding 100 QCOM shares will receive $92 from this dividend payment. At the September 2 closing price of $169.96, acquiring that position would have required an investment of approximately $16,996.
Co-founder and billionaire Irwin M. Jacobs, who holds 18.5 million Qualcomm shares, will receive $17 million from the distribution.
Stock Performance and Outlook
Qualcomm stock began 2026 with losses that were later reversed by a strong rally between early April and early June, during which the equity doubled. A subsequent 41% pullback erased much of those gains, though the stock recovered with a bullish reversal in late July.
At its latest closing price of $194.23, QCOM equity is up approximately 31% since late July and remains 12.28% higher year-to-date.
Wall Street analysts maintain a mixed outlook on the stock. The consensus rating is 'Hold,' with analyst price targets for the next 12 months ranging widely—from a Street low of $100 (implying a 48.51% decline) to a Street high of $400 (representing a 105.94% gain). The average analyst target stands at $196.73, suggesting only a 1.29% increase from current levels.
