2 Reasons Qualcomm's Risk/Reward Is Now Red Hot
Reported by Sam Quirke. Published: 2/12/2026.
Key Points
- After a brutal post-earnings sell-off that added to a month-long slide, Qualcomm now looks technically washed out, with sentiment pushed to extremely oversold levels.
- However, these conditions have been showing signs of unwinding, with momentum swinging upward in recent days.
- Despite near-term uncertainty, analyst support is unusually strong, with upside targets implying as much as 40% upside from current levels.
- Special Report: [Sponsorship-Ad-6-Format3]
After sliding since early January, tech giant Qualcomm Inc (NASDAQ: QCOM) endured a brutal stretch to begin February. Shares fell sharply into and through the company's fiscal Q2 earnings, at one point dropping as much as 13%. The decline marked one of Qualcomm's worst starts to a year and severely dented investor sentiment.
With the stock now on track for its first four consecutive days of gains since December, investors appear to be betting the market overreacted — and they may have a point. Here are two reasons Qualcomm's risk/reward profile just got a lot more interesting.
Reason #1: Extremely Oversold Technicals Are Starting to Turn
Have $500? Invest in Elon's AI Masterplan (Ad)
What if you could claim a stake in what's set to be the biggest IPO ever… starting with just $500?
Everyone is talking about Elon Musk's SpaceX IPO.
Qualcomm seldom trades in deeply oversold territory, which it is doing right now. The stock's relative strength index (RSI) has been below 30 for the past week — its most oversold reading in nearly a year.
Historically, these washed-out sentiment periods have preceded recovery rallies. The last time Qualcomm's RSI dipped to similar levels was in the spring of 2025, shortly before the stock rallied roughly 70%. A comparable pattern occurred in 2023, when a sub-30 RSI reading also preceded a sharp rebound.
As important as the low reading is the direction of the RSI: since last week's lows, it has been turning higher. That suggests selling pressure may be exhausting itself and that buyers are beginning to accumulate positions.
That doesn't mean the stock is "fixed" or guaranteed to recover. It does, however, indicate the odds of further near-term downside are materially lower than they were a week ago.
Reason #2: Bullish Analyst Targets Are Hard to Ignore
With downside risk appearing reduced, the upside picture looks more compelling. Qualcomm has historically struggled to attract consistent analyst attention, which makes the post-earnings updates more potent.
While some firms kept a cautious Neutral stance, many raised price targets that sit well above the current share price. That suggests the market's reaction may have been overly harsh and that the stock is materially underpriced at present.
More notable is the growing bullish chorus from analysts. Rosenblatt Securities, JPMorgan, and Piper Sandler, among others, have rated Qualcomm a Buy, with price targets reaching as high as $200 — implying upside of more than 40% from current levels.
From a risk/reward perspective, that is an attractive asymmetry: the gap between today's trading levels and analyst expectations has widened, creating clear opportunity.
Weighing Up the Opportunity
None of this erases the issues that triggered the sell-off. Company guidance disappointed investors, visibility remains limited, and Qualcomm still faces structural headwinds tied to its historical exposure to handsets.
Those factors explain the aggressive sell-off and suggest the stock is likely to stay volatile through the quarter. While the upside potential looks compelling, investors should remain clear-eyed about the underlying risks.
Qualcomm must rebuild confidence and sustain momentum beyond short-term technical relief. Still, after a punishing stretch that pushed sentiment to extremes, the risk/reward profile has shifted. Technical readings are improving, analysts are more bullish than they have been in a long time, and some refreshed price targets now look hard to ignore.
Getting Involved
For investors with a short- to medium-term horizon, this could be one of those uncomfortable yet rational entry points. The company doesn't need to announce much before the next quarter — it simply needs selling pressure to abate so a rebound can take hold. As always, consider position sizing and risk tolerance when deciding whether to act.
Grab's 2026 Selloff Had Reasons—But the Rebound Case Is Building
Author: Thomas Hughes. First Published: 2/13/2026.
Key Points
- Grab Holdings is growing in Southeast Asia and is deeply undervalued relative to long-term forecasts.
- Analysts and institutions show strong conviction in their bullish posture.
- Free cash flow enables a buyback authorization that can help support price action.
- Special Report: [Sponsorship-Ad-6-Format3]
Grab Holdings' (NASDAQ: GRAB) 2025 and early 2026 price pullback was not unwarranted, as merger and regulatory concerns emerged. However, trading at roughly 40x this year's earnings and about 2x the 2035 consensus, GRAB presents a deep-value opportunity poised to rebound.
The pullback followed news of a proposed merger with Indonesian ride-share competitor GoTo, which has not yet been finalized, and the potential for significant regulatory changes in Indonesia. Such changes could limit profit potential in one of Grab's largest markets.

Grab is well-positioned for growth in Southeast Asia: the company is profitable and, today, outperforming expectations. Economic expansion in the region is underpinned by industrialization, infrastructure investment, and a rapidly growing middle class with increasing access to digital communications.
These tailwinds expand Grab's addressable market, raise disposable incomes, and deepen penetration of internet-based services. Near-term headwinds should pass.
Grab Has Strong Quarter, Authorizes Share Buyback
Grab reported a strong Q4 2025, with revenue up 18.6% to $966 million. The top line edged past consensus by about 40 basis points and was supported by growth across all segments. Deliveries revenue—roughly half of the total—grew 16% year-over-year on a constant-currency basis, backed by a 21% increase in gross merchandise volume. Mobility grew 15%, while the smaller Financial Services segment expanded 36%.
Margin trends were also encouraging. Quality improvements and revenue leverage resulted in significant gains: adjusted EBITDA rose 54%, the company swung to operating profit from prior losses, and adjusted free cash flow reached $290 million, up 78%. Adjusted EPS was roughly break-even versus the $0.01 expected, but management offset that by issuing upbeat guidance: the company targets low-20% revenue growth and nearly 45% adjusted EBITDA growth in 2026.
In a sign of confidence in cash flow and the growth outlook, Grab's board authorized a follow-on $500 million share buyback program. That amount represents nearly 3% of mid-February market capitalization and is expected to be executed within the next two years. The move not only signals the board's confidence but also provides a tailwind for price action.
Analysts and Institutions Have Conviction in GRAB's Future
Analyst data shows conviction on the bullish side. Seven analysts tracked by MarketBeat rate the stock a Buy; six rate it Buy or better (about an 85% bias) and one rates it Hold. Their consensus target is near $6.50, implying roughly 50% upside from early-February support and a potential five-month high if reached.
Institutional holders collectively own about 55% of the stock and have been accumulating. MarketBeat data shows a $3.60-to-$1 buy-side balance on a trailing 12-month basis, with early-2026 activity consistent with that trend. This institutional base is a solid support and a market tailwind capable of driving the price back toward near-term highs.
Grab's stock price appears set up to advance. While downside risk remains, the chart shows oversold conditions and divergences that suggest bulls have regained control and can reclaim lost ground. Key resistance levels to watch are $4.50 and $5.00—both are likely to trigger volatility. Catalysts for the move include continued revenue growth and improving profitability in upcoming earnings reports.
